    One of the best wins in modern history even though Pac got robbed blind in the first fight. Bradley was young, prime, undefeated, and had a chip on his shoulder.

      That's more of a statement of how game and legendary manny is imo
      Went life and almost death with Marquez
      Went 1-2 with Morales, who is the definition of a Pac opponent (doesn't mind eating a ton of punches)
      3 fights vs Bradley, a pillow puncher
      and Barrera (a smarter version of Erik but still easy to hit)

      Bradley beat JMM. Was never a need for a 2nd fight
      Pac and his fans were, and still are, begging for a 5th fight

        Your standards for pacquiao are way too high

        Who would you suggest has a good resume?

        Fury or wilder who is and isn't hard to hit?

        Who's begging for a 5th fight? I think that boats long sailed

        However at that time a 5th fight would have been decent to see

        Pacquiao was all over marquez until the ko it looked like his defining victory until it was defining in the opposite

        You go on about pac fans but you are the number 1 pac hater around here

        You disregard barerra and Morales as credible opponents?

        Anyone with half a brain would take whatever you say from now on with a pinch of salt

          Way too high ?!?!?
          As often as your team repeats ''8 DIV CHAMP'', how can his standards not be high ?

          Don't deflect

          Pac fans were calling JMM a coward for retiring
          I don't care about a guy ''winning'' up until he lost. If JMM was there for the taking, Pac failed to close the show.

          You do realize Pac fans make more threads about May than they do about Pac....even though May is RETIRED !!!
          I am a big fans of both Marco and Erik. That doesn't mean they weren't the perfect Pac opponents (slow, methodical, easy to hit, righties)

          If you had an ounce of integrity, you'd know I post facts. Not my fault those facts are painful.

            Are you new in boxing? Because he lost the first fight. You need 3 - 0 or 2-1 to win the trilogy. Can you stop with these silly questions?

              Pac did not rematch all of his losses, Definitely not Horn

                Tim was a credible opponent at the first fight but that was a robbery. Tim earned his second shot plus being an in-house fight for TR made it easy to do. Third one was unnecessary but again, another in house fight.

                    Marco and Erik are slow? Methodical and easy to hit?

                    Also righties? Whats that got to do with anything

                    To have a credible win it has to be a southpaw? What are you on?

                      Pac's matchmakers couldn't build more perfect Pac opponents.
                      Do yourself a favor and ask yourself what exactly (and in as much detail AS YOU CAN STAND) has Pac ever done that was so special.

                      Out here, Pac fans are all about blanket statements. Never details.
