Let's Face Facts, Manny Pacquiao = The Most Overrated Fighter Of The 21st Century

[mikelovesfood]

If this was a couple years ago before Mayweather exposed him and took his soul i'd agree that Hatton is the most overrated, but yeah he's fallen off in the publics eye since then. In todays boxing world there's nobody more overrated then Pac. In a years time after he gets the Ricky Hatton treatment and gets knocked off the make believe pedestal his fans put him on you'll all see what i mean.

you can't argue with fanboi's. it's just impossible.

Hatton was perhaps overated. But why couldnt anyone destroy this overated fighter, apart from Pac of course?
Sure Pac will lose one day. But theres nothing wrong with that. He will still be an ATG. When he loses i dont want to hear you say, "i told you so, he was overated"

Yes. I believe that. You cannot find similarities in them but you will find them both effective. Which is why I'm a fan of both. Pac on the offensive end, while Pbf on the defensive end. Both are complete in my opinion.

If pac is very bad on the defensive end, care to explain why for the last 3 fight he was not even scathed? You can say weight-drained, overrated opponents but he was never in trouble in all 3 fights. If you can say all this excuses against pac, you should also say those excuses for jmm,hatton against pbf ( hattom--****ty at WW, jmm -- bloated SFW ).

We can go on and on justifying pbf's exploits on being defensive, but he values accuracy over volume, defense over offense. Which is why his workrate drop on JWW and up. But there is no denying his ability to pour out combinations should he choose to risk more.

So now you know my reasons, how about yours?

ill tell you why.


b/c DLH was so drained he didnt have the energy to block punches let alone throow them.

second. Hatton. hatton was never the same after floyd. he threw everything out of the window and went walking towards Pac like a walking bullseye.

so thats why he was "unscathed"

and 3rd. Pac got his ass beat by JMM. someone whos a more technically sound boxer showed that pac is nothing more than a brawler and cant handle boxers

Do your research, Pac's already lost 3 times in his career with 2 of them coming by KO. Compare that to Mayweather's 0 loss record and people shouldnt even be mentioning them in the same sentence nevermind overrating Manny to the point where they actually claim he's greater then Mayweather.

Wow! Seriously!? I think this is Floyd Mayweather himself!

Hey guys, Rocky Marciano is the best heavyweight ever. He has no losses, you shouldn't put someone like Muhammad Ali, who had 5 losses, in the same sentence let alone overrate Ali to the point they actually claim he is greater than Marciano.

[Bigmacpoper]

Pacquiao just isn't on Mayweathers level and only Pacquiao fanboys would argue otherwise,anybody who knows boxing knows that there is a world of difference between the skill set of Pacquiao and Mayweather.

Mayweather would pick him apart very easily,Pacquiao hasn't improved as a fighter, Roach and Arum have simply improved on their marketing and match making of Pacquiao.

It wasn't that long ago when Marquez beat Pacquiao and got shafted out of the decision,should Marquez ever fight Pacquiao again then the same style of fight would happen in that Marquez would beat him in the eyes of most and then get screwed out of the decision.


There are criticisms to be made of Mayweather and his resume at welterweight but beating Pacquiao does nothing to his legacy other than show the casual fanbase how brilliant Mayweather really is and how limited Pacquiao really is.

ts is cherrypicking where to reply and still getting schooled. good job

Apples and oranges. Marciano fought cans his whole career where as Floyd's consistantly fought top ranked fighters and managed to beat most of them seemingly without breaking a sweat. Pac's already lost more times, been stopped more times and fought in more tooth and nail decisions then Mayweather will his whole career. The fact that you just compared Mayweather to Marciano and Pac to Ali shows how far into the bottom of the barrell i'v reduced you Pac fans to reaching.
