    In your eyes, maybe not. In my eyes, and a lot of other people's they are.

      Here's a rundown of a Manny fight:

      Manny storms the center.

      Jab jab left. jab jab left. jab jab left. jab MANILA ICE left. jab jab left. jab jab left.

      I can tell you what punches he's throwing without watching the damn fight. Aside from David Tua, I've never seen a more one dimensional fighter.
      so basically, someone is overrated judging on what they throw in ta ring???! Nice logic thurrr buddy! LOL!

      Pac has been fighting quality opponets sice he came to ta U.S.A back in 1999 and WON MOST OF EM, beating Barrera (biggest challenge), and shoulda won gainst Marquez. In 1 1/2 years span, he's fought ta bests of ta division back to back. ! If that's ovarrated to you, then ma opoinion remains as it is. You're a dumbass.

        He crushed Marquez. What a robbery. And people wonder why boxing is declining in popularity.

            Seriously, reading what you type makes my brain hurt.

            No, Pacquiao is overrated because of the hype behind him. He's built up as this great boxer, however he lacks skill in boxing. Granted he beat Barerra, but he lost to JMM, even with three knockdowns. Anyone who scored that fight as a draw must have been watching some other fight.

            Because someone fights the best of their division doesn't make them great. All you ever read on this board is how great Pacquiao is, blah blah blah. Put him in the right with a prepared boxer, and he's going to get schooled. Hell, Morales beat him boxing and slugging, and Morales isn't quite the greatest technical fighter in the world.

            If Pacquiao would develop his skills and learn to not be so damn predictable, then he would be a great fighter. Until then, he's a great slugger and average boxer, pure and simple.

                  Manny easily (obviously) won the 1 and 2nd round. From round 3 on, he went to school. The unfortunate thing is he didn't learn a thing while he was there.

                  You're unobjective, one-sided analysis of boxing is horrible.

                    not even. You said "lost to JMM'.....that's jest purely idiotic!

                    Manny won round 1 and 2, but in ma opinion and others aswell, he coulda won round 12 and 9 (maybe 10). But maybe you din't see that LOL!. Marquez definitely won in terms of rounds won, BUT Pacquiao shoulda won ta fight on points (WHICH MATTAS TA MOST IN SCORING FIGHTS). A judge admitted of making a mistake of scoring 10-7 on round1 instead of 10-6 fo Pac. Thus, Pac shoulda won that fight and not a draw.

                    And ta reason why Pac stopped being active afta ta 2nd round was that he inured his left hand and was hesitant to throw punches becuz it hurt him a lot!!!! JMM was lucky that night, cuz a healthy Pac woulda KOed him in round 2.

                    P.S: I had posted a picture to prove tis way befo. YOU'RE a late news. Start browsing ta site fo that GOLDEN PIECE I wrote a month back.

                      You have no point dude. When you said there was no way somebody could have it for Pac, you discredited yourself and got bad k from me.
