Has Pacquiao's legacy been built on shot/ruined fighters?

[murmagic]

I wouldn't go as far as saying pacs legacy has been built on ruined fighters but you do make some valid/true points (unlike most) about Pacs and Mayweathers last three opponents.

That said Pacs last three opponents might have been faded but look at the way he dealt with them AND...

Hatton was unbeaten at JWW and his KO loss to Mayweather wasnt exactly devastating plus he had two good fights after that including a KO victory to Malinaggi.

Everyones saying DLH was weight drained which is true BUT, if i remember correctly he was still a heavy favourite to win the fight AND if I remember DLH called Pac out.

Theres not much I can say about Cotto cos he aint the same after that loss to that cheating c*%& but he was still the number two WW.

We can dissect any boxers resume but you can only beat whos in front of ya!

peace

i wouldnt say hatton had 2 good wins, he looked ****e against lazcano but his win over paulie was good

Honestly?



Yeah, Morales was shot because of the first Pacquiao fight.



No version of Barrera beats Pacquiao. Forget it. WTF does it matter if Barrera had losses. We already saw what Pacquiao did to a younger Barrera. It erases anything that happened in the rematch, which was a wide UD to Pacquiao, and apparently Pacquiao was holding back because he respects Marco. Also, Barrera was obviously gonna fight more defensively against a guy that pulverized him the first time round. Hey, maybe if Hatton fought Pacquiao again he could make it to round 4! Or maybe if Cotto was careful enough he could fight for the last 2 minutes next time.

Im definitly with you on that. I am not sure it is beacuse Manny is SO much better than Barrera, its that he is just a stylistic nightmare. Faster, stronger, better chin and Barrera, who is a brawler with good speed, chin and stregnth, was outmatched by Manny in ever possible way.

Barrera was coming off a loss, just like Morales was. That's my point.

Yes, Pac beat a fresher Barrera earlier in his career. Props to Pac for that. That still doesnt take away from the fact that most of the guys that Pac is making his name off of these days have been old or shot.

You guys are teasing the hell out of me with these food pics. If that is traditional Filipino food I’m about to google local Filipino restaurants in the Orlando area of FL.

Peace.

The two undefeated fighters that Floyd beat were both ranked in the top 10 pound for pound when he fought them.

What about the ones Pacquiao fought? Where were they ranked?

Let me give you a hint, some were for major titles and some were for minor titles. It's in the lower weight classes that even some boxing fans sometimes don't follow so it makes it look like that these fights were irrelevant, but anytime a fighter fights undefeated fighters it just shows you that that fighter does take risks.

True! I agree with what you said. Thanks for taking the time out to respond with intelligence and dignity.

I personally just get tired of reading how terrible Mayweather's resume is and how great Pac's resume is. There seems to be this large segment of boxing fans that don't pay attention to detail. They just run with whatever the popular jargon is.

I HEARD MAYWEATHER IS A BUM, SO I'M GOING TO CALL HIM A BUM TOO!

LOL!
