Honsestly, this is the best compliment Manny received in years.. slightly better than being hailed as fighter of the decade, way better being hailed as the best southpaw in the history of boxing and almost as good as being the 1st and only 7 world titlist and a step behind as having 4 lineal titles in 4 weight divisions..

Good post buddy...

Call him Manny. But dont ever call him Henry he will never reach that level.

so u mean that to say that greatness is measured by the number of bouts that u have? I think training for a fight is just as hard as the fight, itself, if not harder.

In training, esp. Pac's training, he prepares for the worst possible scenario. It's like when I was still in college, preparing for an exam is sometimes more difficult than the exam, itself. In the preparation, u never leave any stones unturned because u never know, one missed topic might lead to ur downfall.

So saying that boxers of today will never surpass any boxer of yesteryears is b*ll****. and for the topic, Pac, without question, is the Henry Armstrong of this era. Without Pac, Henry Armstrong's name would not even be mentioned in today's mainstream media.

agreed....Boxer before was given more credit than today's boxer.

Pac is the Henry Armstrong of this era because of his jumping from weight classes are remarkable. ALso, he beat three different fighters in three different weight divisions in the span of 1 year.

Even much more remarkable is the fact that Pac not just beat his bigger opponents but KOed them.

Call me when Pac has 19 WW title defenses.

What pacquiao is doing is more impressive than what armstrong did. Only thing that is holding him back is the fact the sactioning bodies won't allow him to hold 3 titles in 3 divisions at once. 4 titles in four different division in a span of two years, while Armstrong only won 3 titles in 3 different division in the same span.
