At The End Of The Day, MANNY PACQUIAO...

[Gino Ros]

he's not Chinese either

"hater"...not "eater".

In Islam, dogs are def not revered as man's best friend the way they are in Western civilizations.

[fabie]

... was part of an amazing group of fighters:

Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barerra
Juan Manuel Marquez

...and Manny proved himself to be at least - AT THE VERY MINIMUM - as good as any of them.

I know that Manny gets a lot of grief on this board for the catchweights, the fake title grabs, the in-house fights, the recent quality of opposition, etc.

But let's not forget that Manny went 5-1-1 against sure-fire LOCK Hall of Famers.

GREEN K for you!

Yes, to put it modestly....and to be fair, a resounding YES! But we know that he has accomplished more than these and just to be in the same breadth as these Mexican legendaries.

[Doctor_Tenma]

No doubt man, thats the Pacquiao I respected.

[Bastian Loc]

Top 5 ATG.

Behind Marquez.

[DrewWoodside]

I'm critical of Manny - or ANY fighter - who pulls BS. But i see many posters who have basically taken their critiques of Pac to the point that it makes it sound like manny is some journeyman who had a couple of good steroid -fueled years.

Like Manny is the Brady Anderson of boxing or something.

Kid was a p4p candidate BEFORE PacNation latched on and started to annoy everybody.

Are you questioning Brady's 49 HR season?

[Biolink]

Absolutely.

[Phenom]

really he went 2-1-1 against JMM Morales and MAB he shouldn't get props for beating a shot Morales



even though I lost all respect to Manny and I'm no longer a fan he still is one of the best of this era noone can deny that

[Gino Ros]

Are you questioning Brady's 49 HR season?

In a word?

YES.

1992 - 21 homers
1993 - 13
1994 - 12
1995 - 16

Fair enough.


It must also be said that he scored eight knockdowns against those guys, and was knocked down ZERO times himself.

[Hi-Dro]
