back when Manny was going through life and death with Marquez in 08 I don't remember Manny people ranking him amongst the greats of all time and after that Post Diaz, DLH , Hatton, Cotto and Clottey he became one of the ATG's?
can you name another boxer whose stock went up that much in just over 2 years?
What a joke! Yes he is. He's big bum cuz he is the first and only eight-division world champion, having won eleven major world titles, as well as being the first boxer to win the lineal title in five different weight classes.
The Margarito fight came after the Mosley fight lmfao. That fight in particular was LEAST impressive. Clown casual lol
Wtf are you on about? Were you reading that as if it was in chronicle order? You prick i added the margarito fight as an afterthought because the person i quoted didnt mention it unless.. you actually believe he fought mosley first which took place in 2011 haha either way dont be f*ckin dense
As for you claiming it wasnt impressive you should pull up an old thread pre fight a lot of fans were saying its a step too far given the size difference margarito came in at 165lbs on fight night is 5ft 11in and pac him half to death
DLH one I agree he was half dead
I think the Hatton one at 140 was a good win fair enough ricky was coming off a loss to floyd but he wasnt shot to bits he was still a good fighter and pac laid him out stone cold
cotto was a good win cotto went on to have a 'decent' run years after that fight so had plenty in the tank and gave floyd a good fight too years later CW or not a good win
he made clottey shell up for 12 rounds
mosley was not a great win or fight
also the margarito fight in 2010 was one of his best wins despite the size difference he beat that man so bad his eye fell out
again im not a big fan of pac but i have to admit at his peak he was a machine
You should watch the Hatton vs Lazcano fight and read how Lara was doing him in sparring before Pac fight....Hatton was shot
His resume isnt overrated at all but his " newfound boxing skills " are really exaggerated by his fans.
Pacquaio was blessed with speed and explosiveness. He was never a skilled fighter and hasnt evolved all that much.
People think Pac is some technician nowadays but he is far from it.
You mean between his losses to Marquez II and Marquez 3
His wins over DLH , Hatton and Cotto was were overrated tbh he fought Clottey and Mosley in normal weight and he didn't look as impressive

not even a fan but no he isnt
2008-10 pac beats current thurman and spence imo too fast workrate was insane and had good power
just realised how old this thread is by skipping back a few pages the good old days of ppl hoping floyd and pac will fight little did they know it would be a stinker

Yup. That's what every floyd stan say.
A Philippino fighter gaining star power for nothing.
Yup. Makes sense. What's new?
If that is all it takes to be a real fan of the sport.
Then any drunk guy in the street corner could be a fan.

:rofl: Black America happy cause a chickenshit doesn't have to take risk YET AGAIN.
No actually we are sad cause we wanted the greatest fighter in the world our very own Mayweather to have been the one to Ko Pacquiao but Arum wanted to protect his cashcow and it wound up back firing on him.
Did Arum build the Stadium he said he wanted to build for a Floyd/Pacquiao? Imaginary stadiums don`t count so don`t you dare go their.
You rookies are basing whatever.............off JMM v.s. Floyd.
Before we delve into weight classes and exactly how they work: It's just important to understand the principal fighting styles of the greats.

Pacquiao was created to be the "HERO" to Mayweather's "VILLAIN"...so yeah hes he was/is OVERRATED, is that is fault? FUK NO! HBO and the Media are the ones who created him because they all hated Mayweather so much that they needed someone to use against Mayweather
