Pacquiao is a bigger star than Mayweather

[Akyra]

yes, but are you aware of Sugar Ray Leonard or Roberto Duran's accomplishments?

yes and that's why sugar ray was ranked 1st. however, pacquiaos greatness surpasses durans. when i talk about greatness, besides titles/belts, these things are taken in consideration when thinking about him:

- starting at 106 and ending up dominating and crushing welterweights.
- not ducking top competition and taking the best at the division, making his run in it completely legit.
- all of this with an entertaining, impressive, crowd pleasing, offensive fashion.

the phenomenon that is manny pacquiao has been unseen since the ali days. he has all the elements that qualify him as a definite all time great, you don't get a fighter with all of mannys qualities and skills too often. speed + power + literally destroys opponents + keep an highly offensive pace through the fight + looks just as impressive as he did before going up in weight.. i mean the guy is a special, unique, one of a kind fighter. all of this without going talking about his titles and place in boxing history. a fighter like pacquiao comes around once every 100 years. you might see a fighter or two with SOME of the skills, some fast and agile, other rely on their power, but not all skills into one fighter combined.

i think the guy completely deserves the respect and recognition he's getting. without a doubt one of the all time greats and second greatest of all time. whether you'd like to lower him, fine, but he's still amongst the top 10 of all time. pacquiao's something special.

another proof that PACQUIAO is way bigger star!

Yep and the google trend shows this.

I think it's reliable, and Pac is clearly the most viewed of the two.

ACTUALLY Google trend is USELESS when comparing the popularity of 2 fighters or which is the bigger star out of the 2 (i am a specialist in stats) this has to do with how many fans mayweather and PAC has. not how many people know the name of the 2 fighters. learn how to read stats FOOL. of course manny has more "actual" fans then mayweather because he has a image of being A GREAT family husband. while mayweather has a bad boy image. thread = FAIL

pac is the bigger star around the world and has a bigger fan base. mexico for pac, whole asia for pac, even canada, after the 13th africas is going to be behind pac and those are just some of the regions. the only region thats behind mayweather is the united kingdom, not even his own country is. with the attitude mayweather puts out there, he has to be the most hated boxer.

Pacquiao is the Boxings new household Name since Mike Tyson!

Yeah when you are knocking fools out, the general public gets to know you real quick.... Floyd is my dude, ride or die, but I will have to say Pacquiao is the bigger star right now... Pacquaio is like the new school hip hop, every knows him, because he has been tearing **** up lately, but floyd is like the Dr. Dre of boxing, he takes his time, but puts out masterpieces... Say what you want, but Pacqauio can't beat Marquez and you seen what Floyd did to him, neither knocked out De La hoya and they both put Hatton to sleep...

You haven't seen or heard anything yet. Akyra is really a Puerto Rican who was a former Cotto fan who converted to being a Pacquiao fan. He use to **** on Pacquiao on the daily basis and his name use to be robtc. He was on the Get Your Facts Straight show once and made a fool out of Pacquiao fans by saying Pacquiao can beat Ali at a catchweight of 154. Since he's been sucking up to Pacquiao after Cotto lost, the Pacfans have forgiven him and adopted him as a *******.

Lol Robtc you red k'd this post but is it true or not? I stated facts and you know I did, and a lot of posters know, that my post is 100% true.

Thread = fail.

Ret@rds don't even understand their own stats

whooooooooohahahahaa.

Lol Robtc you red k'd this post but is it true or not? I stated facts and you know I did, and a lot of posters know, that my post is 100% true.

it contributed nothing to the thread and what were you trying to accomplish with it?

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out i was and AM a huge cotto fan and used to dislike pacquiao because i thought he was a hype job. i really did but like cotto once did, pacquiao earned my respect with his actions. i used to like (not a huge fan) pacquiao before when i saw him fight one of my fav fighters in marquez but then i thought the hype got out of hand after the de la hoya fight. i mean, i wasn't sure if the de la hoya that showed up that night was a good measuring stick to analyze pacquiaos greatness. but the cotto win pretty much the last nail in the "doubt" coffin that i had.

and are you ******? i mean, a drained 154 ali ... don't you think he would lose to pacquiao? i mean, it's common sense he would've probably lost.

so yes i did red k your post for being a ****** .. i thought you were cool.

Just like Muhammad Ali was...

men lie, women lie, numbers don't- Mayweather is the PPV king which makes him the most popular fighter. Most *******s spend as much time hating on mayweather as they do watching Pac's fights..
