    Manny's legacy has been made off of washed up mexican legends and guys coming off of brutal loses, this should not be a suprise to you in 2011.

    Manny, along with his fans, are a disgrace to boxing.

        With the exception of Nonito Donaire, who is 28, the current top 5 p4p fighters are over 30:

        1. Manny Pacquiao- 32
        2. Floyd Mayweather- 34
        3. Nonito Donaire- 28
        4. Sergio Martinez- 36
        5. Juan Manuel Marquez- 37

          Sure buddy...keeping telling urself that Pacquiao has been fighting legit contenders and i'll keep telling u he's not an all-time great...just a product of Arum's superb marketing scheme to trick people into buying ppvs....just look at Arum's interviews...."feel good story" and "better than Ali" BS about Pacquiao.

                If Bradley beats Khan (he won't, but if he does), Pac will KO the 27/28 yr old inside 3 rounds. Pac just fights whoever is put in front of him, but whoever it is, best believe they are in all likelihood going to lose.

                  Couldn't have said it better myself.

                    up & coming fighters were all fighting themselves in order to have a shot at those at the top

                    tell me, who among the top 5 p4p fought up & coming fighters during their last 3 fights?
