    Whats your opinion on Pacquiaos achievements?

    People say that hes on steroids as what hes doing is impossible

    but then discredit the opposition saying DLH, Cotto and Hatton were shot, weight drained and past prime.

    Surely if his opposition was that bad as some people make out then why do people say hes on steroids?

    Whats your opinion on his achievements ? Do you think that he is on steroids or that his opposition was overrated, or both.

    Pacquiao's resume/achievements are great.

    DLH was a zombie though. I can't fault Pacquiao though, he jumped up two divisions to fight Oscar and did his job, beating the crap out of him. Even if they weren't 100% of what they were, Cotto & Hatton are excellent wins for Manny regardless.

    Manny might be using illegal PEDs, the same goes for his opponents and everyone else in the sport as well.

    I'd like to think sports are clean but I kind of half-expect athletes to use them regardless.

        Hall of Famer but DLH was old and drained(can't blame Pac for DLH being drained)

        I still considered Hatton prime...

        Cotto doesn't seem like the same fighter but is still very good...

        Fought the best at 130, did little at 135, beat arguably the best at 140, dominated the #1 or #2 at 147 at the time...

        Some of its good matchmaking but he's a special fighter...

          no matter how old shot or weight drained De La Hoya Hatton and Cotto were, Pacquiao wouldn't had beat them if he wasn't on PED's. Pacquiao is too small to hurt big guys like that. just look at the Marquez fight that was the real Pacquaio and Marquez was hurting him with shots to the chin and body. watch that fight closely and u could see pacquiao flinched every time marquez was hitting him with body shots.

                Pacquiao has a great resume. The de la Hoya fight doesn't mean much, but it was very ballsy of Pac to accept considering he didn't know he was weight drained. Hatton was past his peak, but not shot when Manny fought him, but he would have KO'd him even if he was prime anyway. Considering he was the lineal champ it was a fight nobody can blame him taking. Cotto was not the same fighter he used to be, but still a good fighter and Pac deserves credit for that win. The Clottey fight doesn't mean anything, but that's Clottey's fault, not Pacquiao's.

                  I didnt vote but what the guy has done in the sweet science is amazing,However if he doesnt take the blood test its going to leave questions unanswered.Since his ascension he's been ko'ing bigger fighters with regularity which most are skeptical on. Usually moving up in weight your ko's would decrease a bit. But with that said to conquer 7 weight classes is incredible
