    I can just picture the outrage Pac Bois would release if May had such a decrepit resume -

    Shot Clottey
    Cotto*
    Shot Margarito*
    Shot DLH*
    Shot Algieri*
    Shot Rios
    Shot Mosley
    Shot Lucas
    Shot Broner
    Bradley 3x
    Vargas
    HORN (CPGW)

    The fact that Pac needed multiple *'s for such a sorry line up !!!!!

      What a quality resume looks like

        Great fighter but not as great as his delusional fanbase believes. Top 30 ATG or so. He was also very selective in his opponents and very protective of that 0. His supposed reasoning being if fighter A beats fighter B and I beat fighter A then why do I need to beat fighter B? Triangle theories don't work or Ali should've lost to Foreman and Mayorga should have beat Mosely.

          MANNY PACQUIAO: I would have to say Pacquiao. I think his determination, his conditioning, his skill, his power, speed, footwork … he’s one of the fighters I most appreciated. Mayweather-Pacquiao would have been a lot different (if they’d fought) in their primes. Pacquiao would have beat (Mayweather) easy, absolutely.
          This has been shown in the Ring Magazine articles. Marquez, Hatton, and De La Hoya chose Pacquiao as best overall. Mosley and Cotto chose Mayweather, among their common opponents.

            Pac s greater, nobody cares what cott o and ssm say, the world saw for themselves, we saw it with our own eyes Pac stop cott o and beat ssm for 12 rounds, whilst Floyd goes life and death and nearly gets koed by 39 year old and gets bloody nose. Nobody cares the words they say, we saw with our own eyes, which spoke volumes, more then empty words with no basis ever could.
            History will clearly see Pac is greater because what the world saw Pac do to cott o and ssm, being a former light flyweight, and not from what cott o and ssm say! Even if Hatton and and dlh said Floyd was best overall, it wouldn't matter, because we saw with our own eyes how Pac destroyed Hatton and dlh more dominant than floyd ever could

              That fight was 10-2 lol. Manny won 4th and 6th and even those could be debatable.

                Floyd virtually shut Shane mosely out. Other than round 2, on scorecards he lost every round lol, what do you mean life and death? And also, cotto was not weight drained for Floyd he was Pac-Man.

                  Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino fear of blood extraction

                  This essay offers a cultural explanation as to why Manny Pacquiao was reluctant to undergo blood tests for drug testing for his fight with Floyd Mayweather.


                  In his own words, Pacquiao on blood testing

                  The representatives for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. continue to try to hash out the protocol for the drug testing for their tentative March 13 super fight.


                  "The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight. That does not make sense to me why anyone would do that. These accusations of me using any performance enhancing supplements are totally unwarranted and unjustified.''

                  that was a cowardly 50-0. Floyd should be tested for yeast infection.

                      Most fighters soon as their punching power is ineffective, or they are being out strength struggled to stay relevant.

                      We have seen this of late with Canelo Alvarez.


                      Not only under powered but coming in with a weight disadvantage, being like 150 on fight night. He was on the highest end of the range of reach for his for his weight/height with 72".

                      Held the stamina advantage in the late rounds basically every fight. A lot of that is just from not having to have cut weight plus training year round.
