Manny Pacquaio: A closer look at his resume

[Chups]

Next up, Yuri Foreman...

I agree with you, a very doubtful resume. No wonder he won Fighter Of The Year 3 times.....not only by the RING and the BWAA (two of the most prestigious) but by almost everyone in 2005, 2008 and 2009. I'm sure they all made a mistake 3 times. I hope they can find a fighter with a better competition for those years so they can recall the award. Thanks.

People talk about how Pacquaio takes on all-comes and has an amazing CV, but in reality there is plenty of chicken feed in Pacquaio's last 12 fights:

Cotto (very good win)
Hatton (good win, but Mayweathers was when he was unbeaten, Hatton nearly done at this point)
De la Hoya (18 months after Mayweather, at 147, a weight DLH hadn't met for 7 years)
Diaz (punchbag, took this fight instead of third fight with JMM which surely would have made more money)
Marquez (good performance, BUT a highly contentious win after he was badly hurt late on and outboxed at times)
Barrera (good win against a faded legend)
Solis (decent win against an average fighter)
Morales III (finished at this point)
Larios (Coming off a KO loss against Vaszuez. First, (only?) fight at 130))
Morales II (decent win, albeit Morales coming off a loss against Raheem)
Velasquez (had 10 losses on his record at this point)
Morales (lost)

People have consistently shredded Mayweather's record, but a closer look at Pacquaio's record shows that it isn't as good a its hyped to be. Lots of average and faded fighters in that resume. That doesnt take into account his 2 KO losses either.

Next up, Yuri Foreman...

Barrera wasn't faded, it was just another dominate win by Pacquiao against a left hand dominant fighter.

Also, Mayweather fought Hatton at 147.
