Maybe I'm off... but I've always thought a fighter should be less of a loud mouthed blowhard... at least when making a comeback. As for the rest, he really has fought not much in the way of serious threats outside of Swift and Pac. Now, if ANY future opponent of his is smart... they'll target the body and double him over like Pac, Collazo did. For the life of me, I have no idea why that isn't front-page news to ANY potential opponent of his.

Yep. The problem is, Pacquiao and Mayweather have fans with no sense of history thinking that unless you stay in your prime for a decade, you were never actually great. It's comical..

Ohhh man, you ain't kidding. I post fights to my youtube channel, and I have a decent amount of Pac fights posted. I get notifications when comments are posted to any of my fights. I've 600 fights uploaded there, and I think it is a decent representation of "name" fighters from the 70's and up. It is the Pac fights that draw the most obviously fanatical fans to the comment sections. I'm trying to think, but am drawing a total blank on who could feasibly be put in 2nd place. Forget it, there is no 2nd place at all. I have a good selection of Floy fights there as well, and, at least the fans who post comments to his fights, those dudes have nothing on the Pac fans. I am pretty sure that a lot of them are not boxing fans at all, they are ONLY Pac fans and the only fighters they know a bit about are guys who were Pac opponents. They all like to congregate in the comments section for the 1st Jeff Horn vs Chippendale Zarafa fight and absolutely revel in watching Horn get battered and leave comments where they basically accuse Horn of masterminding what they see as a fix against their demigod, the Lord Pac. Seriously though, as if it was Jeff "The Gym Teacher" Horn who bankrolled the conspiracy. I must admit though that reading these sorta comments left by them is rather entertaining. Cannot deny that!
