    Pacquiao the Dominant fighter of Decade

    Larry Merchant is now comparing Mannie Pacquiao with the great Henry Armstrong. Other's have mentioned Mannie's name with the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson. This proves that the Pacquiao legacy is now entertwined with the greats of all time. If he's now in discussion as the GOAT, then surely he is the dominant fighter of the decade. Not even close. Even the undefeated Calzaghe and Mayweather aren't getting this level of props. Any boxing journalist that seriously talked about Mayweather as being in the same league as Armstrong and Robinson would get laughed out of the sport and end up here on this site as just another common nuthugger.

    Larry Merchant is in love with Pac and has shown that over the years, he hates Mayweather with a passion.. VERY simple...

      Translation: My idol is an overrated bum and every expert knows Manny is superiour. I love Mayweather and will defend him till death do us part.

        It's either Calzaghe or Pacquiao, if Calzaghe retires like I think he wil Pacquiao will definitely take it.

          I can't think of any other boxer who was flyweight champion then went all the way up the welterweight div. whooping as$es in a dominant fashion.
          I think he desrves all the praises.

            He deserves all the hate, too.

              Calzaghe isnt even in the picture of the most dominant fighter of the Decade.

                Pacquaio and Mayweather by far are the two most dominant of this decade. A fight between them could settle a lot imo.

                  He's in the discussion just as much as Floyd is...because of their undefeated records. But, this is a classic example of the fact that all the true greats have lost fights. All the true greats were willing to take risks in order to prove themselves as the best. This is the difference between Floyd and Pacquiao. Calzaghe's problem is that the other greats in his weight class waited until they were considered past their primes to fight him...ie..Jones and Hopkins.
