    Truthfully, no. His YouTube vids still, and always will, get far more hits than Mayweather or anyone else of this last gen. People love him for the entertainment he provided and he did enough spectacular things that he'll be remembered favorably. In the end, no one cares about the minutia, they remember a fighter for the entertainment he brought.

      You rank Ricardo Lopez over Manny and Mccallum? Which of Lopez's wins are better than wins over MAB, Morales, JMM, Cotto, **** even a Tim Bradley? Or Mccallum's wins Julian Jackson, Stevie Collins, Sumbu Kalambay, D Curry etc?

        It's been slightly overrated, but the answer is no.

              Only issue I had was the Margarito fight. That was a joke. I can't believe the baklas have the nerve to credit that as a title win at 154 against a past prime cheater who wasn't even ranked and was at 150. Disgraceful fight!

                The Pacquaio legacy is totally sound and solid. His career was astounding; his fights were thrilling; he destroyed strong fighters with spectacular speed and strangeness.

                He and Mayweather are the top fighters of their time; all criticisms are only minor. In the big picture, his legacy can't be budged. He was a notch below Floyd, but he was also the smaller guy, as Floyd was smaller than a Bernard Hopkins

                  I will give you Barrera and Marquez, but please stop with the Morales stuff. He was past it AND could barely make weight when Pac beat him(hence to overweight penalty & insistance of the fight being at 130). His record after beating Pac was 4-7.

                    He lost to Morales the first time,.....after Morales was having hard time making weight at that class..Morales also was coming off a loss to Rahim... Manny has him come back down in weight to 130...he looked like one of the kids from the "feed the hungry for 10¢ a day" commercials.
