I remember the first time I saw manny fight....it was on the lewis-tyson undercard...he was a dynamo and I told my brother, "this kid is going to be special"
I was right.....122-130 Manny was one of my favorite fighters to watch. He took an L to my boy Morales and I was upset they wouldnt let morales come in over 130...so be it....Manny won the series
Manny was putting together a hall of fame career and then he moved to 147....it was wide open. Mayweather retired. They wanted a new face of boxing
I just never bought into all the hype of the late 2000s...he was a great fighter but not this top 5 atg the media tried to make him, I just didnt see it.
I saw a great fighter, being used as a savior to rid the world of another great fighter....floyd mayweather
Pushing everything that looked shady under the rug....even idiots in the media and this site saying "if he is so good, he can beat Manny if he is clean or not, why he b!tching over drug testing?" A few years go by and everyone is getting busted
roach admitting he didnt know what was in his pre work out drink....WHO ELSE GETS AWAY WITH THAT? NO ONE
after he beat de la hoya he became the great hope....no one was on the horizon...mayweather didnt have that rival
they tried to make Manny a rival but he never was....from day one I just couldnt see how he could beat floyd and went life and death with Marquez and lost to Morales at 130....how was manny gonna beat a fighter who does everything better than the guys he struggles to beat
being a nice guy doesnt make you better as a fighter
once he got past 130 it was a little smoke and mirros....big name opponents coming off of loses, bad showings, or tko losses
Cotto, ODLH, Rios, Hatton, Mosley.....none of them looked impressive before facing him.....yet Mayweather fought them after big wins.
People dont realize its when and who you beat...not just the name....the media had casuals puddie in their hands
Arum milking him dry...putting him in with floyd's left overs then people eating it up like its the best thing since sliced bread
I respect Manny Pacquaio, I just dont appreciate how the media tried to force feed him being great, we KNOW he is great...he just was never the greatest of all time, the greatest of his era, or even the fighter of the decade. How can you be the fighter of the decade in a decade you lost in, have a draw, and the other guy up for it went undefeated beat your common opponents first and clearly and was a champion since 1998?
