You have to be a fan of the sport to observe the facts that devalue his last 4 "great" victories.Look at all of his last opponents and tell me they really could have been competitive...You probably thought Oscar,Diaz,Hatton and Cotto were the men to "bring it",eh?
The fighters who posed a threat to Pacquiao made Manny and his team run with every excuse in the book ( from needles,to blood,to weakness,to superstition,to pride, and not getting "bullied" by requests) and robbed boxing fans of the best competitive fights out there at the moment-sounds ATG to me....
Manny is a great fighter,but I reject the notion that he is the absolute best out there today-especially when I can think of at least 4-5 other fighters who pose a threat to him today and would have been more competitive than his recent fights.His path has been strongly cleared and protected by Arum,Roach and his own team.
