Is this all coming out because of last night's Pacquiao-Cotto fight? I've seen quite a lot of insecurity from the Floyd fans today. Nobody else though. Why is that?
Quote the whole post.
Like I said Being undefeated is overrated if you are not accomplishing anything. But not if you have ran through 5 divisions, win 6 world titles, 3 lineal titles, and been ranked at the top of the sport for 10 Consecutive years with 3 1/2 of the years being ranked #1 .
Thats why being undefeated matters in this case.
Because he is undefeated while doing accomplishing great things, and looking great doing it.
Pacquiao is the most improved fighter of the decade by far.
He has come BACK from being knock out twice, Outboxed and given a draw, Outboxed and beating beat, and Outboxed and winning by 1 point.
To now becoming a offensive force...!!
He used to be a 1 handed fighter.
Not no more.
He has improved better than anybody I have ever seen.
But key word is improved.
His level of compitetion is not out of this world.
Mayweather and Pacquiao have fought 3 of the same opponents in both of their last 5 fights.
And Mayweather from the start of his career to now has faced higher quality of opponents compared to pacquiao..!
these are facts!
Pacquiao was getting Knock out, while Mayweather was winning fighter of the year awards.
It is about time if you are talking about a decade.
Prime Example, Lets say we were picking a team of the decade.
I am pretty sure people would argue for the spurs.
But the fact of the matter is for the entire decade.
The Lakers has been in 6 of the 10 championships
and won 4 of them.
While the Spurs have been in 3 of the last 10 championships
and won 3 of them.
We can say the spurs have accomplish alot in this decade, but they have not
dominated or been a force in the entire decade like the Lakers has.
Similar to Pacquiao and Mayweather.
We can say the Pacquiao have accomplish alot in this decade, but he have not dominated or been a force in the entire decade like the Mayweather has.
From Start to Now Mayweather has been at the TOP!
But we can not say that about Manny Pacquiao.
But what we can say is that he has improved the most out of all fighters this decade.
