pacquiao only has 1 signature win

That was Erik's first fight at 135 and he looked fat.
Raheem was a live opponent and before the fight, many fans and expert saw it as a competitive bout and an upset situation.
Morales symply lose to a bigger,slick boxer with a speed and skill that can befuddle many opponent.
Raheem got robbed against Juarez. it was a hometown decision.
Raheem lose a split against Freaitas. That wasn't a fight. It was a two men humping and hugging each other all night.
Raheem got Koe'd by Funeka late in his career. Funeka isn't a bum.
hes no bum, but Morales should not have lost to him. It was named Upset of the Year for a good reason. the fact that Morales only won a handful of rounds against him as well is pretty bad.
Pacquiao should get credit for his wins over Morales...Morales was still a top fighter at 130lbs and even 135lbs...but he shouldnt get credit for beating a 'prime' Morales, because Morales was a few notches down from what he once was. I dont give Pacquiao much more credit for his wins over Morales than I give him for his win over David Diaz.Comment

please, dont try to make Raheem look good. Im not saying hes a bad fighter, but the guy has very little power, and is so defensive he literally barely outlandeds bums in his fights.

I give Pac credit for cashing in. Morales 3 should have never happened.
Barrera 2 shouldn't have either.
But he would've been dumb not to take those fights. Those were the most money against anybody he was gonna get.Comment

and I dont blame him for fighting Barrera either. Barrera was coming off a slightly controversial loss to Marquez, and a big winning streak before that. he was still a very good fighter.
besides, sometimes you have to cash in against the big names if you want to fight the real challenges in the division. those top guys need a reason to fight you.Comment

why not? they were 1 and 1. the 3rd Morales fight should have happened, although it was fairly clear as to who the winner was going to be.

I give him props though for making the most he could.
That's the idea and I don't condemn him for that.Comment
