Pacquiao's resume is phenomenal i don't think anyone can objectively refute that.
I think what's even more is his willingness to fight the best. That's all he wants. Look at him since the Barrera fight, & tell me if you can find any fighter since 2003 who has a better resume, took on more challenges, beat more future hall of famers, and is willing to take on anyone. If there was any doubt of that it was answered when he signed on to fight hatton at 140. He is a beast in that division and knowing his style and Manny know his own and still taking this fight being the smaller guy is godly.
He is a true throwback who just absolutely loves to fight. He could have fought in any era. Not many fighters nowadays you can say that about.
Lennox the got the best resume in the past era..
Pac resume >>> B-hop at this era.
B-hop lost his important fights. Roy Jones Jr., Taylor, Calzaghe..
His big wins are from WW/Jr.WW Wright, Trinidad, Delahoya. Pavlik is not his big win B-hop beats Pavlik not in his best weight.
Tarver is not great either beating Jones Jr. will not make you great.
His resume is overrated.
Pacquiao has the best resume in this era. That's all i can say.
im not sure if lennox lewis belongs to this present era but like MP & hopkins also got a great resume...
Honestly, would you call EM or MAB harder opponents then Corrales or JLC? I don't think so
Are you Crazy?
They were smaller but better. MAB and Erik are Featherweights who both started @122
Pac is a Featherweight who started at 106
Corrales and Castillo are both Lightweights both ended their careers as Welterweights.
Honestly, would you call EM or MAB harder opponents then Corrales or JLC? I don't think so
of course... morales & barrera i reckon are greater & more accomplished...& MP went up 4 or 5 divisions to face them... thats what makes it harder boss...
Manny is a Phenom. resume is Top 5 All Time Great EASILY!.
if you have him on top 10-15 ATG you're just being modest.
outside top 20 ATG you're just plain hating.
sasakul was the #1 flyweight in the world when pacquiao beat him.
ledwaba was the #2 junior featherweight in the world when pacquiao beat him.
barrera was the #1 featherweight in the world and #3 p4p when pacquiao beat him.
morales was #2 super featherweight (the #1 was barrera who pacquiao had already beat) in the world and #6 p4p when pacquiao beat him.
marquez became the #1 lightweight in the world and #2 p4p after pacquiao beat him.
you be the judge.
The **** is wrong with you??? How could you forget.
Oscar Larios was a champion before and after Pac UD's him.
As a teen ager PAC faced Chockviat of Thailand. a regional Champion. That's a very dangerous fight for a teen ager.
:D
I don't hate on Pacquiao, in my opinion...Pacquaio's resume is better (On Paper) He beat the more accomplished fighters but in my opinion, Floyd faced the harder opponents. I respect Floyd's resume more and agree he could have done alot more, which I think he will
Ya feel me?!
i dont agree wit u on that.
pac fought harder opponents.
i love both guys but i really believe that pac has a better resume than floyd.
skillwise floyd ofcourse but oppositions. pac fought better.
Very impressive resume for Pacquiao. An 8.5 for me. He fought each of the 3 greatest Mexican fighters multiple times (Barrera 2x, Morales 3x, Marquez 2x). He has also faced Ledwaba at junior featherweight in his first fight in the US and impressed a lot of people. The win over De La Hoya was also very impressive because we saw a more tactical Pacquiao in that fight. He took advantage of the opportunities in that fight. A win over Hatton makes his resume even more impressive.
Maweather and Pac are the best
why else is Maywaether coming out of retirement ?
he finally sees an opponent worthy to face
forget hatton. he just plain disliked hatton
hatton isn't in their league
LOL more like Mayweather finally has a safe and a worthy cow cash of a opponent to face
and as for pac's resume, its very impressive considering he beat morales and barrera, jmm who were all in their prime and were on the top 10 p4p rankings.
floyd had option to face kostya but went after gatti.
floyd had an option between margarito, mosley, cotto. he went after baldy
What options was there to fight Tszyu who was on Showtime?
Gatti was on HBO, had a title, and was a big money fight that could have set up a fight with Tszyu between the two TV stations if Tszyu had beaten Hatton...which he didn't.
At 147, that's where Floyd had options. He shouldn't have waisted fights against Mitchell and Judah which I thought were b.s. fights even if he was trying to settle into 147...but why Mitchell and why Judah after he already lost his title?
Judah helped boost his name a bit since he was a NY fighter and put some money in his pocket, but it was a waist of a fight.
He had to fight Baldomir since it was for the lineal title.
But there was also a problem with Arum who only seemed to want Floyd to fight Margarito and not Cotto. Floyd wasn't going to mess up a fight with Golden Boy for Margarito. And he wanted Shane but Shane declined.
i don't hate on pacquiao, in my opinion...pacquaio's resume is better (on paper) he beat the more accomplished fighters but in my opinion, floyd faced the harder opponents. I respect floyd's resume more and agree he could have done alot more, which i think he will
