Manny Pacquiao: Has He Sold Out ? and Is He Really The Best Pound For Pound?

[Left Hook Tua]

U LEFT OFF THIS PART

it must be stated, has beaten no top American fighters and has squared off with no pure boxers; in particular, "Black" fighters--Latin, African, or American. Names that immediately come to mind are Joan Guzman, Nate Campbell, Joel Casamayor, Zahir Raheem

ledwaba was black. that's how manny got his ibf belt.

manny is called "the mexican assassin".

there's a reason his fights against mexicans sell.

don't be ignorant.

the Problem Is That This Thread Is Made By You. Let Me Repeat That, This Thread Is Made By You. I Am More Than Confident That You Are A Floyd Mayweather Fan Or That He Is Your Favorite Fighter. So For You To Make A Thread Where You Agree That Pacquiao Has Only Faced Certain Fighters Because It Was A More Lucrative Or Easier Path And Criticize Him For Doing So, Well, That Would Be Like A Catholic Priest Preaching Against ******ing Children. You Are In No Position To Fee Like Your Opinion Will Be Considered When You Wont Admit To Your Favorite Fighters Most Unpopular Decisions.

I Made No Sugesstions On Whether It Was Easier Or Harder Or More Or Less Lucrative. The Author Was Critical...i'm Questioning What The Author Said And Considering It. It Appears That A Lot Fighters Had Some Similar Styles Of Fighting. Morales And Barrera Were Great Fighters, But Not So Great When He Beat Them. Why Did He Never Give Immediate Rematches? Why Hasn't He Fought Someone Bigger Than Him Or Simply A Complete Boxer With Defense And Handspeed?

I don't get it. How can manny possibly be p4p#1 when he still hasn't fought a samoan??

Dude (writer) laid it out nice, but ****ed up withe the vacant #1 thing, Pac-man is a good fighter and wins alot more then he losses, but i have to agree with him (writer) that he doesnt belong in the #1 spot.. Id Take Slapzagh over him with his recent wins, Hopkins even **** i dont know i just dont think it looks right with Manny at # 1!

why The **** Would He Fight Raheem?

Raheem Was At 135 You ****ing Moron. He Didn't Jump To 135 'til 3 Months Ago.

Barrera And Later Marquez Had The Wbc Belt At 130. What ****ing Belt Did Zahir Have?

So Instead Of Staying At 130 Waiting For A Chance At The 130 Belt You Want Him To Go After Zahir For No Belt?

the Money Is In Fighting Erik , Marco And Juan. The Prestige Is In Fighting Erik , Marco And Juan. The Interest (fan Wise) Is In Fighting Erik , Marco And Juan.

Why The Hell Would He Fight A Nobody Like Zahir Raheem?

Raheem Defeated Morales Before He Fought Pacman The 2nd Time. What Belt Did Morales Have The 2nd Fight? Raheem Had The Lw . Title At The Time. I Agree With That Last Part Though, No Doubt.

he ktfo marco. who do you think didn't want the immediate rematch?

after the draw with marquez , marquez turned down $750k (same amount manny would've got) because it wasn't enough money. he lost his belt to john on his $35k payday.

after the great morales-pacquiao 1 fight , manny and erik agreed on a rematch and fought on the same card to promote the rematch. that's when erik lost to zahir. zahir was nobody. he was just some guy erik was fighting to test how he would do at 135.

even though erik loss they still decided to go with the rematch anyway because it still made financial sense. the fact that it drew so well backs that up.

when zab lost to baldo why did floyd still fight him? because the deal was already planned and it still made sense right?

if you don't know what happened , please try not to comment. why don't you talk about something you have knowledge of?

No such thing as a complete boxer you fool. Malignaggi has awesome defense and handspeed up the wazoo but does that make him a complete boxer?? even floyd will tell u he could improve on several areas

no You're Not Or Else You Wouldn't Have Mentioned It Now.....twice.

You Really Reaaaaaallly Think Manny Was Going To Fight Raheem Instead Erik?



Actually No He Couldn't Have. Joan First Off Fought In An Eliminator With Chato Jaregui For The Right To Face Barrios For The Wbo Strap On The Undcard Of Barrera Juarez Ii In Sept Of 2006. Manny Fought Erik The Third Time In 11/06. Couldn't Have Happened My Man. Also Take Into Account Guzman's Good Relationship With The Wbo And I Have No Doubt He Wanted To Fight For That Belt.



agree For The Most Part But Politics, Not Manny, Got Involved In This Remember? This Was The Fight That Brought Top Rank And Gbp Back Into Dealing With Each Other Again And For Gbp It Was A Great Way To Appease Barrera Who Had Been Unhappy With The Way He Felt He Was Treated During The Jmm Fight.




But Who Was The #1 Beforehand? So Can't We Use Mr Mayweather In Comparison Considering He Was Manny's Predecessor? I Mean Didn't We Do That To Mayweather In Comparison To Hopkins? Didn't We Question Hopkins Run Of Middleweight Nobodies Post Tito?

Cmon Man I Got To Believe You Are Better Than This.

I Remember That, But I Don't Care About The Politics. As A Fan He Should Have Fought Jmm. Yeah Floyd And Hopkins Were Vetted And Now So Shall Pacman!!!!!!

see what happens when PBF retires? his ******ed cheerleaders turn to writing blogs for ESB
