    Pacquiao has not been the ONE avoiding opponents...Pac has been at 140'ish for 18 months and has already face 2 guys Mayweather ducked/avoided/excused himself from facing.

    Mayweather is God, he can't do no wrong. This is the golden rule on FightBeat.

    Clottey's a big tough guy who gave other top fighters big problems

    having said that, pedquaios win is irrelevant as he cheated

    Who are this elite group of black American fighters he hasn't fought? There's only one which merits a real mention in relation to Pacquaio. Mosley or Berto fight nothing like the examples you're probably trying to make reference to.

    You're assuming that. The same way everyone assumed Clottey would give an honest effort. The only difference between Clottey and those guys who say they want a piece of Pacman is they haven't actually gotten in the ring with him to prove they have the guts to stand in there and try.

    It's easy to say you want to fight Pacquiao. It's easy to take that big payday that comes with that. It's easy to say you'll brawl with Paquiao if given the chance but we don't know if they'd actually do that til the get in the ring with him. So yeah, you guys can judge Clottey now because hindsight is always 20/20.

    If you weren't saying this shit before the fight happened why say it now?
