If it happens , he could and his fans could make that case. He started at flyweight, and now, is fighting at 135. If he wins , that would be very impressive. Along the way, he's beaten the mexican trio of, Marquez,Morales and Barrera. Out of those 3, I'd say Barrera and Morales faced and beat better comp.
But..........Manny is closing in real fast, and with a win could surpass those guys accomplishments.
Yay or Nay................
I see that this thread has turned into a word war between some posters here. But my question to the question of this thread is that "Who has the right to rank them?". This question will be settled maybe 30 to 50 years from now and hope that by that time, people of different races won't be fighting like what you are doing in this thread.
I'm sick reading comments of this retarded from the wordl's most chaotic country, Mexico... No wonder why this dumb ass Mayan has an attidue of monkey and the mouth like duck's ass... mexicans are considere3d themselves superior because they think they are the most powerful in the world .... due to drugs! This mayan is fucking shit! No nothing about boxing and all left in him is hate... seems he took a high dosage of cocaine..:D
Call me racist but if you continue whinning in here, you are just proving yourself you are from a country with the most crimes, violence, gangs, and all bad attitudes like the one you are bringing here....I am not Pinoy nor American nor Puertorican but your comments makes me sick and think that Mexicans are really stupids....
Is that you in your avy? You're hot!
lol Giiiit the fuck outta here, you obviously never been to a message board that has alot of Puerto Rican posters. You guys don't hesitate to toss around racial words towards blacks. Even the Dominicans, who are black. You tell them they're black and they'll take offense to that shit. So how the fuck you gonna be black, or have your best athletes who are black and still say that kinda shit? And those Mexicans who say that shit are mostly gangbangers.
And more like 15% percent of Mexico's poppulation is black. I mean they have a self sustaining state of blacks in Mexico. All I'm sayin is, put some gloves on em. It's a whole other fountain of talent.
i have seen african americans dizzing africans what's ur fucking point?
dominicans are dizz because they are just like u guys and plus they like to talk shit about PR when that's the first place they go in a boat is PR.
blacks are dizz in here because of boxing stop being so naive dude everybody dizzes each other in this bitch.
but don't talk all this racial bullshit when in reality PR' have all black in them.we have the features or skin color.

The proof I offer is how Barrera fought against Pac, and how he fought in the past. If Barrera fought the same way he fought in the past, then I'm wrong. Don't be confused by barrera's age.
Barrera fought Pacquiao in the same fashion as he got his biggest wins against Morales and Hamed. Pacquiao simply battered Barrera into a pulp and never lets him get into a rythm. And yet this same Barrera knocks out Paulie Ayala and beats Morales again immediately afterwards. Thats just not possible even for the great Barrera unless he was in peak physical condition.
28 year old Barrera vs. 33 year old pac on his 70th fight. Barrera would win that fight easily.
:bsflag:
That's another pointless "could've been" wishful thinking that will never happen. Stick to reality son. :D
The proof I offer is how Barrera fought against Pac, and how he fought in the past. If Barrera fought the same way he fought in the past, then I'm wrong. Don't be confused by barrera's age. Imo Barrera was not at his best. As far as Sasakul, I don't know how good he was. He seems to be good, and has a good record, but he is 38 today. I mean he lost, and won against yuri arbachakov and i have at least seen Yuri fight. But nobody has seen Sasakul except diehards. He may be good. But Pac had been ko'd twice before that win i believe. Morales and Barrera didn't lose until they fought top notch comp. Don't you think Pac has to do more to be ranked higher than those guys in history??
At the time he fought Pac, Barrera was concensus #1 featherweight and was the Ring's "People's Champ" and widely held at least a top-3 p4p fighter. So him fighting the same way in the past is a big "IF." He also had back-to-back losses in his prime to a prime fighter named Junior Jones before.
The KO losses of Pac are always being brought up and they are indeed a stain on his record, but that Pac is so far removed from the present day version of him. First KO loss I still hold today as a LOW BLOW. Him slamming the back of his head hard on the canvas didn't help either. The 2nd KO loss was when he lost his title at the scales. The failed effort to drain himself to make weight took a lot out of him before the fight and it was a body punch that took him down for the count.
Just a question. Besides fighting other, who did Morales and Barrera beat to be considered higher than the flip?
Nobody really who reached the status of MAB, EM, JMM or Pac, but I won't consider the other names worth mentioning in their records as chumps. There were a lot of good victims.
We are talking about Pac being ranked higher in history right now right? You have Pac ranked higher than barrera and morales? Right now?
Yeah I have him ahead of MAB, EM and JMM this very moment and he's still got some legroom to accomplish more.
Sasakul is a former world champ and still ranked in the top 5 by 3 of the 4 major sanctioning bodies at his weight today. Pacquiao beat Barrera in his prime. I dare you to show proof otherwise.
"Prime" and "Past Prime" are words or terms being tossed around too much to kind of rain on Pacquiao's parade... as if most of the notable names in the resumes of let's say MAB and EM were all prime when they beat them. It sucks to argue that way about your fighter, doesn't it? It makes those who use that tact sound desperate to justify their idols' losses and at the same time belittling the efforts of a single rival who beat them.
I haven't seen any of Pc's fights when he was younger, only footage. I don't know how good those guys were. I know he won and was stopped in those fights. As far as the rest of his resume, he needs to do more in order to be ranked with those guys. Those guys had complete careers. Pac is still fighting. Some posters are getting mad and arguing about race and all that stuff, i don't get down like that. Pac is going to receive criticism now, and in the future. Get used to it. Comparing all 3 guys careers, Pac has to do more. That's all. I'm black, so that race card crap won't work with me.
I don't see why he has to do more to overtake the 3 M's (Marco, Morales and Marquez). He already has by the mere fact that he has them all notched up in his resume as victims not to mention the manner he did it (5 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 3 KO's, 13 KD's against none). No other names in their respective lists would compare to the 3M's. All the other names are just gravy.

lol The fuck outta here, you got one fighter and you're tryin to speak on this an shit?
Any fighter that comes from Mexico, that has Mexican genes in his blood won't be forgotten by us. Black or Brown, we'll stand by him reguardless.
Bullshit you will. You mean if they dont suck you will stand by them. And you're fucking retarded to think a dude who's half black half mexican is the same as a puerto rican who happens to have black ancestry from 9-10 generations deep or that it has any effect on their athletic ability whatsoever.
I don't see how that helps your comment any. With that alone, you've done no better than him.
my apologys if it disturbed u as a fellow mexican por mexican-american.BUT i hate when they talk shit about nationalities and races.call me ignorant or whatever but i will dizz u back.
