he won the 122 ibf belt vs ledwaba, defended it vs agapito who held the wbo & did have a draw. So your right about the wbo but Pacquiao did have the ibf which he defended vs julio & rakkiatgym.
as for 126 your right, no ibf & wba which marquez held b/c of the draw (which one judged incorrectly ruled the 1st round 10-7 instead of 10-6) but that was for the ring championship & wbc who stripped marco of the belt b/c of sanc fees. but Pacquiao did win the ring belt in that division vs MAB.Last edited by DonTaseMeBrah; 05-13-2009, 08:19 PM.Comment

i think the fighter of the decade goes to the fighter that dared to be great and actually took risks in his fights, and ofcourse the fighter with the best resume, even "IF" PBF beats pacquiao i dont think his resume surpasses the PACMAN, it only proves that he is bigger than PAC and PAC's limits(when it comes to weight) has been met. greatness in the ring is met by the number of risks you took, shining and coming out victorious against those risks. i dont see pbf took that road to greatness, all i can see in him and his MOUTH is "MONEY and CHERRYPICKING".Comment

That's great. Sarcasm is appropriate if it makes you feel good.
Why I don't understand is, if Floyd is such a fraud like a few claim he is,
Why did Manny fight fighters Floyd already beat?
Was it to prove they could be beaten quicker and in less rounds?
Why didn't Manny fight them first, before Floyd got to them?
I expect some straight answers, but please don't resort to kiddie comebacks.Comment

It's very obvious to see how Manny has changed his fight game. There's no doubt Freddie studied Floyd's fights to tweak Manny's style.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
To Manny's credit, he's been able to implement all that he's learned quite successfully.
Floyd would be flattered to know they've been studying his moves to improve they're fight game.Comment
