    Pacquiao is an 8-division world champion—the only man in history to hold that distinction. Duran is a legend, but his accomplishments don’t surpass Pacquiao’s. The lineal titles, the jump across weight classes, the battles where Pacquiao was undersized and underweight—yet still winning. A small fighter overcoming bigger opponents with reach and power, and even defeating young, prime fighters well into his 40s. That level of greatness is unmatched.
    DLH said pac is the best he fought. And as dlh fought pernell, chavez, ssm, hopkins, fought them all, that makes it pac with the edge over duran.

        Manny Pacquaio has never said it. He didn’t concur or confirm anything Arum said.

        Arum saying it, is Arum saying it. That doesn’t equate to Pacquaio saying it which he objectively has never said or never concurred to have said.
        Dan Bob is a lawyer. He is empowered to speak for Manny.

        Mind you This is the same promoter that had him get stitches from his son in law without approval from his regular Dr. So clearly he has more power than you are basing your argument on.

        Manny didn’t but his legal representative did. It’s like you’re splitting hairs.

        You are correct that it didn’t come out of his mouth. But if your legal representative says it about you and you don’t contradict that, it’s you saying it.

          Bob Arum does not speak for Manny Pacquaio. The fact he’s a former Lawyer does not give him magic powers to mean he’s anything more than his boxing promoter, which he is. You saying he is his “legal representative” is a bare face lie and I’m not quite sure why you’re even trying to say that and thinking it will land in any way. He is his promoter, nothing more. He’s not his fckin keeper.

          Manny Pacquaio is a grown man and speaks for himself. Bob Arum was not speaking on behalf of Manny Pacquaio, he was speaking on behalf of Bob Arum.

          Manny Pacquaio has never said he is or was afraid of needles. It didn’t happen, ever. To say he did say it, is a lie. End of.

            Dan WTF? Bob has spoken for him many times.No one said he was his keeper.

            Many rich grown men, especially athletes, have lawyers and representatives that speak for them. Why would Manny be any different.

            Already acknowledged. But his legal representative did say it. Manny, to my knowledge, never corrected it anywhere.

              No he hasn’t. Bob Arum is not his “legal representative” and does not speak on behalf of Manny Pacquaio. That is not a thing and never has been so again I don’t know why you’re even trying to go down that road.

              You can keep repeating that he’s his “legal representative” but that’s something you’ve just made up. He is his Boxing promoter. Nothing more, nothing less.

              So, Bob Arum talking about Pacquaio being afraid of needles are the word of Bob Arum, and nobody else.

              Manny Pacquaio has never claimed he is scared of needles, so again, saying that he did say that is a lie.

                The Pacquiao–Mayweather fight? More like the Joke of the Century. Imagine the bigger guy fighting scared against a smaller fighter from the Philippines—too much clinching, low blows, and constant running like a Tom & Jerry skit… yet Floyd’s fans still brag about that performance?

                      Blood drawing needles are HUGE in comparison. Some guys even faint giving blood.

                      Both Duran and Pac at the top of the P4P heap no matter what a bunch of mugs on a boxing forum think.
                      Why are you mentioning Duran? We're talking about Pac, but once your opinion is refuted you threw away reasoning and now is a beliefs? Is that right?
