It's funny how Pacquiao fans can only respond with pictures, sarcasm and whining.

That's because this thread is irrelevant

[whirlwind]

Is that the best you can come up with as a rebuttal? Why even post then? LOL!

Anyway, tell me where I told a lie?

Was De La Hoya not physically drained from losing weight when he fought Pacquiao? Y/N

Was Ricky Hatton ko'd a litttle over a year prior by FM when he fought Pacquiao? Y/N

Was Miguel Cotto not stopped and severely beaten by Antonio Margarito? Y/N

Was Miguel Cotto not in the fight of his life against Josh Clottey? Y/N

Topic like this are usually made by Floyd *****s drinker to discredit what Pac achieved in boxing so that Floyd achievements if there's any will not overshadowed by Pac. To tell you the truth, All boxing experts now had Pac higher than Floyd on atg and legacy wise status. Pac resume ****ted bigtime to Floyd resume. Pac's opponents consisting many HOF fighters prime or not, weight drained or not than and way more better than Floyd fought, beside he did better on their two common opponents will tell how great Pac is than Floyd. Get over it loser!

So 1 lose automatically makes you Past Prime/Shot????
Man oh man, I cant wait for March 13. Mayweather would be considered "Past Prime/Shot".

I'm not a Manny Pacquiao hater. I like watching the guy fight and I respect his skills immensely. With that said, when I really take a close look at his resume, I see that it's kinda misleading (especially any fight above 135).

He gets loads of credit for beating a Miguel Cotto that was severely beaten and forced to submit (in mma terms: he tapped out) by Antonio Margarito.

Shortly after that fight he was more competitive but nevertheless he caught a beating at the hands of Josh Clottey.

How much credit does Manny Pac really deserve for TKO'ing Miguel Cotto?

We all know De La Hoya was past him prime and weight drained. It was a shocking win for Manny, but again, how much credit does he really deserve?

Out of the three (hatton,dlh,cotto), Ricky Hatton was probably the least faded. And even in that scenario, Hatton was knocked out slightly over a year prior by Mayweather.

Pac is being built into this Ray Robinson-like demi God and I think it's unwarranted.

Mayweather may not be fighting the biggest KILLERS at welterweight, but his last three opponents weren't coming off knockout losses either.

JMM was coming off KO wins over Casamayor and Juan Diaz...
De La Hoya was coming off a career rejuvinating KO of Ricardo Mayorga...
Ricky Hatton was UNDEFEATED at the time he fought Floyd...

In all honesty, Mayweather has fought tougher and FRESHER competition.

I agree. It amazes me ho people try to give more credit to Manny for beating Mayweather's leftovers, yes leftovers. Mayweather beat them first and better versions of them. But haters gotta hate. Some people will mask themselves as a fan of Manny or Cotto or Hoya or whoever just to hate on Floyd. The names change but after every big fight which takes out one top guy you see new people on to the forums and claiming they are long time fans of whoever is fighting Floyd next, just to hate on Floyd. You have some who migrated from Hoya's to Hatton's to Marquez and now to Pacquiao nuts just to hate on Floyd.

I heard Pac doesn't even know how to box. He was just a pawn in a elaborate scheme thought up by HBO and Arum to totally discredit Floyd. Everyone of his fights were staged and set up for him to win. He's a useless human being with nothing to offer. All hail Floyd, the only one in boxing capable of achieving greatness and the only thing that matters in the sport! **** Ali, **** SRR, **** em all!

This thread would have been an interesting discussion like 5 months ago. The topic got tedious, then ridiculous, now it's just ******ed. Might as well post a "Who will win: Mayweather vs. Pac post." Get original with your threads.

Not at all, every opponent the Pacman has faced were at their peak performance wise. Only the Pacman's haters and detractors will disagree other wise. JAT

[ELPacman]

I ask you a couple questions. Was Ricky Hatton at a weight class he was ever effective at prior to the Mayweather bout? No. Was Oscar in his prime against Mayweather? No. Should you KO someone who isn't in their prime? Well it makes sense instead of getting a split decision win(mayweather). Would Mayweather have fought Cotto regardless of who he lost to or fought either way? No. Give Pacquiao more credit because until he beats the **** outta these fighters, nobody is picking him to beat them. It's until he blows them away that they have to look deep and think about why that fighter couldn't compete with him.
