The many fights where he was destine to lose is what make him so great.

[Sicario]

Cause he always proves me wrong and makes me lose money

[Doctor_Tenma]

His athletic ability, his explosiveness, all the different types of angles he provides, stamina, power...simply put, Pacquiao is a beast. Also the dude is
still scaringly improving.

[popeyes]

the way he proves people wrong about him being the smaller man. the 7 titles in 7 divisions. 4 lineal titles. carrying his speed on higher divisions. his good attitude inside and outside the ring. his willingness to keep on improving etc etc

[TEDetc]

He gives it his all, always goes for the knockout (which is a rare thing in champions these days), fights at disadvantages, jumped the weight classes easily and K.Od/stopped much bigger men, comes across as a humble guy, isn't scared of any and reminds me of a proper throwback to the old days of boxing.

Well we all knew he was good,but when Oscar went cherrypicking floyd style & found Pacman,we all pretty much knew the brave little Manny had too much corazon for his own good!!But lo & behold,what transpired next was some jaw dropping Manny smacking up on Oscar type **** most boxing fans didn't expect!!Then he went on an completely just utterly blew Hatton out the water!!Finally he went after Cotto & my thought personally was there is no way little Manny is beating the second best welterweight in the world,but here I am typing up a storm about Manny & his great many feats,up to & including beating Miguel Cotto around the boxing ring for the better part of 11 & 1/2 rounds,amazing!!

[Mersey]

Is it a combination of both?

Yes.
