Is Crawford right about Manny Pacquiao being overrated?

[Da Pimper]

Crawford has said he doesn’t have Pacquiao in his list of greatest boxers. Says he’s overrated and insinuates he cheated. People say he’s hating but does he have a point?

Main problems with Pacquiao’s career:
1. Multiple catchweight fights
2. Biggest name win (Oscar) was severely weight-drained
3. Arguably lost to Marquez all 4 times and got 3 gifts
4. Refused blood-testing demands during years of his prime
5. Never undisputed
6. Lost to a school teacher

As for the 8-division thing:
1. There was no title on the line vs Barrera. Barrera wasn’t lineal. Pac was awarded the Ring belt afterwards.
2. Also no belt on the line vs Hatton at 140, it was for the Ring title. The Ring is just a magazine. And many say Hatton also wasn’t lineal because he moved up to 147 and lost.
3. Fought Margarito for the 154 belt at 150 catchweight

Again the Ring is a magazine they don’t own lineal and they are not an official sanctioning body.

So more like 5 divisions.

manny’s claim to high greatness is the 8 division thing

but being successful in multiple weights has been done before and better

Harry and Sam were midgets at heavyweight beating up much bigger men

Henry was a simultaneous 3 division champ at 126 147 160 all at the same time

Ezzard went through weights too beating greater opponents than manny did

anyways TBud mopping Saul last night eclipses manny-Miguel and manny-Margarito lol

[SouthpawRight]

Keep in mind TBud was the underdog last night

manny was the favorite going into his fights with Miguel and margarito

Whatever Crawford isn't beating prime all time great fighters

Who is prime all time that manny beat

manny liked facing big names coming off a suspect performance

This is what Crawford also said about Manny.

"Pacquiao earned the right to go out how he wants to go out, he done fought everybody there was to fight, when they were able to fight. He fought all the top names, eight-division champion. He accomplished everything there is to accomplish in this sport of boxing. So if he chose to go out with some fights of his choice, he deserves that. He earned that right".

[Floyd is TBE]

They literally gave Pacquiao a fake belt for beating a mother****er Floyd just knocked out. And the Ring says they’re not political. I don’t think Pac is overrated other than the fact he’s not a real 8 division champion.

Barrera was prime ATG. Morales weren't far off. JMM was prime ATG. Nelo is not coming off great wins or performances

[ijudge]

You can nitpick every fighter's resume

Aside from Canelo, what other hall of famers did Bud beat? Spence is not first ballot. Porter will be lucky if he gets in.

He beat Porter who was one foot already in retirement.
Spence after a car crash.
Canelo who got no knockouts in 5 years and already lost his aura after Bivol.
