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

[Ray*]

He would be just another american!!!

[UglyPug]

as great as pacquiao is, i think even most of his true filipino fans would admit he isn't the goat. . . YET! he definitely can be. . . if he pockets a 9th! title at middleweight against even cotto in a rematch it would be AMAZING and definitely never to happen again. can you imagine floyd winning a title at cruiserweight? LOL
But the OP's "theoy" is pointless. thread should be closed cause it's not something you can even begin to debate. cause pac is who he is, and that ain't changing. so enjoy him, and appreciate him. . . might be the last of a breed that died off a while back. . .

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.

You called me ****** by telling the truth. Hypocrite.

[Phil Ivey]

You called me ****** by telling the truth. Hypocrite.

Do you basic comprehension skills? I called you ****** because your logic goes both ways yet you don't even acknowledge it saying *****s would be rooting for Pac, are you completely missing the fact that it also means that if Floyd was Filipino *******s would be rooting for him as well? So your logic really isn't supporting your point since it goes both ways... You don't even know what 'hypocrite' means so stay in school.

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!

Dude give it up, I don't know what country you live in but here in America, the underdog is always wanted by the people to do well.

This has nothing to do with Floyd, so stop trying to justify your argument with that dude, because all the success Manny has, has been without Floyd. Last time I checked, Manny's just as big as Floyd in the USA and Floyd was born here.

So your argument is ******, if Manny was born here most people would've never heard of him because he would've just blend in with everybody else because Manny's story isn't because he has 8 world titles.

He's huge because he was born in the slums of a 3rd world country, overcame all the odds, now he's one of the richest people in the planet and he was elected to represent some of his people, soon he will be picked to represent all his people as president.

So garaunteeing that he would be bigger if he was born in the USA is ******ed.

[Bushbaby]

Pacman is the most popular boxer on planet earth.Why isn't that good enough for U??He cherrypicks rather smartly & most people don't see it.Every fighter gets hated on,Floyd more than anyone.Be satisfied with what he has & stop expecting everyone to bow to him.If U think he's the greatest fighter of all time,good for U.Don't be mad because other people think he isn't.All I know is this,if Pacman was soooo friggin great,why wouldn't the 154lb champ that he is fight Martinez there??

[shade darkar]

oh fcuk off you silly nuthugging sewer rat.

[V.WEBB]

If he was American, he would not have gotten off that easy with the whole drug testing thing. No way.

[JoeDaWg]

It would end up being totally different just because of the upbringing, but lets just pretend for a second: Pac grows up in the worst hood in detroit, the dude is black instead of asian, he fights with the exact same style and his career takes the same path. He is still just as humble and gets elected to congress

Not only in is this 100% fantasy, but it's also 100% undeniable he'd be bigger then any boxer in American history. They'd have ****ing tv stations dedicated to the man. Nobody loves them some underdog like america. And a black guy doing all this crazy **** in the ring, with an amazing style, fighting these huge fools, getting elected to congress, and being humble to boot? Back the **** up, manny would own this country, real talk. We celebrate people who haven't done half as much **** as I just mentioned. He'd be on TMZ every night, he'd be meeting the president every other day, he'd be leading parades, he'd be speaking in front of millions on MLK day, he'd be on bet every other night, people would wear his cloths, the list goes on and on and on. He'd have every rapper, basketball player, football player on his jock, kicking it at his fights. It would be ****ing crazy, but hey, fantasy land usually is crazy.

pacquiao couldnt have accomplished what he's accomplished in todays game (titles from 112 to 154) if he fought in an earlier time


he's not that good.


could you honestly picture manny pacquiao defeating the WW's of the 80's? nevermind those guys moving up to 54.
he'd get murdered

he's avoiding a fight with sergio martinez that could potentially make him the MW champ
sergio martinez is a very good fighter but he's nowhere close to the league of any of the great MWs


ray leonard, tommy hearns, roberto duran

all these guys would murder pacquiao



manny's greatness comes from his ability to move up in weight and be competative with very good fighters

the truth is he docked miguel cotto two lbs when he could barely make ww
took margarito off two terrible performances
dusted a ghost of oscar de la hoya
knocked out ricky hatton in his last fight


manny is probably going to be rated in the top 20 or 15 by the real experts
maybe even the top 10

his greatness comes from the fact that he's a natural lw at this point in his career and he's starching solid opposition at ww and now 150

he's not even close to the greatest fighter of all time
he gets hit easily
he lost to a faded erik morales
drew twice essentially with marquez
avoided him for a rematch

he is not the GOAT
and that has nothing to do with the color of his skin or country of origin


if you think pacman is the GOAT you havnt watched enough boxing
