Is there any fighter in the history of the sport you can compare to manny?

[wildyfz05]

WHERE ARE THE PRESENT FIGHTERS THAT CAN BEAT HIM NOW? NAME THEM

gagong tao

At what CATCHWEIGHT? BOBO

[Elotero]

Sergio Martinez... In and out style, great athleticism, explosive, speed, southpaw, outside fighter, etc.

Gamboa...

Haye...

Pacquiao is a unique fighter of course, but "explosiveness is unmatched" and "the angles he punches at have never been seen" is overblown.

If that last part were true, Mosely wouldnt have lost by UD. Clottey would have been busted up more and Marg would have been dropped.

As it is it took him till the end of his fight with Solis to win by KO.

Took Gamboa 4 rounds to beat a BETTER Solis.

[Elotero]

dont know about better killer instinct either

Only as good as your last fight.

Manny let Shane slide. Killer Instinct nod goes to Tito.

Yuriorkis Gamboa is very comparable to your posted aspects. I didn't even have to look back at any other era.

Indeed Pacquiao is a damn beast and the best active fighter, but he's not the greatest ever. There is one boxer in any era who can be compared to Pacquiao. The big difference is his accomplishments which he as been able to reach based on awesome promotions and matchmaking.

He's like a southpaw combination of Meldrick Taylor and Roberto Duran.

Pac is a Fake Legend that uses EPO Steroids, HGH, A-Side Meth (Agimat) and other PED's.

Pac is a COWARD that has ducked many tough challenges and avoided Humberto Soto, Juan Diaz, valero, Guzman and so many others.

Pac is also a coward for demanding catweights to weigh drain his opponents.

Pac is also a coward for handpicking Old Faded has-beens.
Pac's last 10 opponents were mostly in their mid to late 30's.
Pac does not fight fighters in their 20's cause Pac is a chicken.

Pac is also a FAKE "champion" cause Pac has had 4 FIXED FIGHTS at 147lbs.
1.) Pac-DelaHoya was FIXED
2.) Pac-Clottey was FIXED
3.) Pac-Margarito was FIXED
4.) Pac-Mosley was FIXED

all FIXED FIGHTS by Pac's co-promoters (Arum, and DelaHoya) because Pac cant compete with the 147lbers, and because Pac generates over $100 Million worldwide, mostly from the vast Asian market (that dont know jack-*****t about boxing), Pac gets a free-pass with all his cheatings, duckings, and now FIXED FIGHTS.

Pac is the biggest Fraud, the biggest Hype-Job in the History of Boxing.

Pac is the Most Overrated/OverHyped Boxer in the History of Boxing.

[New England]

just because you don't know anything about any other boxer in a historic context it doesn't mean the only one you know about is the best...

[Vsec]

Speed, power, angles, makes a lot of mistakes but the aforementioned attributes usually make up for it.

He's great. As good as it gets before you start talking about the Sugar Rays, Duran, Sweet Pea, Chavez, Hearns etc

[LA_2_Vegas]

Lol, I have my reasons.

I see what you did there.

[Pacdbest]

I compare Pac to Michael Jordan only!
Both separate themselves from the Pack!
Both considered the Greatest of their Era.
Both were rated as one of the Greatest or Maybe the Greatest of all time!
Both has the Big Nike contract.
Both are considered the most entertaining & spectacular athlete in their sports.
Both are not Boring.
