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

[Gino Ros]

... 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.

steroid-free Manny >>>>> Steroid Manny.

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.

Absolutely, great fighter and a joy to watch perform.
