Outside of Diaz, above 135lbs, Pac's been taking high-risk fights and not only winning, but exceeding expectations. I think he was somewhere around an 8:1 underdog against De La Hoya? He fought the recognized and lineal Jr. Welterweight Champ (Hatton) at Jr. Welterweight. People were saying Cotto might be "shot" after the Marg fight, but I don't recall anyone saying that any Jr. Welterweight fighter and below would beat Cotto (at 145lbs). Pacquiao did it. Clottey was considered a top welter and a HUGE fighter for his class, but he couldn't win a round against a midget? There's just more skill, pound-for-pound in 147lbs of Pacquiao than there is in 147lbs of the BIGGER and stronger fighters. And now Margarito...soo many questions...is he "shot"...is that chin cracked? That's a huge risk that Pac is taking. Margarito is dedicated to this fight. He's training for the fight of his life. I doubt he was going into his last fight against Roberto Garcia feeling the same way as he is now.

Well now the TS got his answer on why Pac is seen as all that. It cuz of the past resume PLUS the last 2 years.

people should get over this by now.
manny won fighter of the decade award, and he deserves it. if floyd wasn't going on vacations and actually fought at the welterweight division while its hot, then there might be some argument.
its september for ff's.
