I guarantee you that if pacquiao was born and raised in america.....

He writes for the examiner. I can't even call him a writer. If he was legit he would be in a more credible website.

examiner is nothing but BS articles with BS "writers"

His not a writer his a poster, just like us. Posting thoughts that he pulled out of his ass and arranging them on a non-credible site as if they where fact.

That's fine bro everyone have their own opinion we r not force to agree or disagree.

it just seemed like you were making it out to be a fact, pre.

the business in boxing plays a much bigger role today than it did in the older days (from what i can tell), and i believe it'll be hard for anyone in the modern era to be considered the GOAT (american or not).

halos imposible na ata.

If he cleans up 140 and 147 including floyd, I am willing to give it a thought.

Manny looks content with cashing out at this point in his career, so i really don't see him cleaning out the 140 division. but a win against someone with a the talent and boxing IQ of Mayweather will def. bump him up as the greatest of our modern era (IMHO). no argument from me there

if pacquiao was born in america, he wouldn't endure the hardships he did and probably wouldn't be even boxing.

Very true.Most of the greats in boxing have had to overcome hardships/poverty to get to the top as well as use these obstacles as driving forces or motivation to climb out of their personal situations.

If Pac was born into American decadence,there is a real chance he wouldn't have had the drive to get where he is currently at...

dude i understand where you're coming from. but you're thinking waaayy too much in this situation. first off, pac has to do a little bit more to be in the GOAT running. a win over mayweather, or another 3 years or dominating wins over guys like bradley, berto, marquez, et al.

but you gotta admit, UR ARGUMENT IS HYPOTHETICAL and relies on too many exigent circumstances. the factors in his life being from the philippines IS WHAT SHAPED THE FOUNDATION for who he is, and what he stands for.

in america, nobody has to worry about **** like that cause the government takes away money from people like me and my parents and gives it fo' frizzle! to lazy people who have 5 kids outta wedlock from different baby mommas and REFUSE TO WORK

If Manny were born in the US, they'd be on his azz about that drug test shyt.

The writer has a very strong point and speaks the truth. Whether we want to admit it or not. The majority of human races are all bs and preferred certain races or color of skin when it comes to decision, judgment, choices, preference, rooting for and many more. Some are trying hard to suppress or not to show it but at some point in our life it happens all the time. There are some posters here pretending they are some sort of unbiased or against in any racism but in real life they are just bunches of hypocrites.

The fact is...if Pac was an African American and Floyd was a Filipino, you think these *****s will still root for Floyd? NO WAY! And this is a fact the hypocrites will not admit!

[Rick Grimes]

If he was American the American press would tear him down for not taking OST.

Are you ******? IT goes both ways *******. *******s will still be rooting for Floyd because his Filipino idiot, you actually think that all the Filipinos would be rooting for the American Pac? Keep dreaming dumb ass. These *******s are so stubborn its hilarious, btw they would be calling the American Pac a chicken **** for not taking the blood test. Both fighter's fans would be hypocrites but that's human nature.

Most of the Guys who are racist and biased againts Pacquiao are probably the same guys who always bet againts him and LOST. Those losers will always float the name of Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong or Muhammad Ali as GOAT boxers even though most of them haven't seen even a quarter of their fights. Talk about "Boxing Intellect"?! GEEEEEZZZ...
