Is pacman's reputation deserved?

[IronDanHamza]

This, for sure is true. Especially the media has been on a frenzy and is at a large degree responsible for him entering peoples ridiculous "top10 ATG!!!" lists.

Absolutely.

It's come to a stage where people are offended if he isn't in your Top 40-30, even 25 ATG list (!)

I mean, obviously it's only morons who know very little of the history of Boxing who have these issues so it shouldn't frustrate me but in all honesty it really does.

Pac is a great fighter, no question. Great, remarkable fighter.

He just simply isn't as great as most of his fans, nuthuggers, or the media think he is.

This is true and annoying.

I haven't done this in a while, so...

The big deal about the Oscar fight is that Oscar tried to cherry pick a lightweight, and very few thought Pac would kill Oscar like that.

Joshua Clottey threw nearly the same amount of punches that Mosley did against Mayweather.

Barrera and Morales are better fighters than anyone Floyd has ever fought. Marquez might be as well. Don't even compare the Marquez Floyd fought to the one Pacquiao fought in the first two fights and then try and bash the Oscar Pacquiao fought compared to the one Floyd fought.

Marquez has a case for winning both fights, but Pacquiao has just as much a case.

Pacquiao, even with his recent run of crap fights, can easily be called the p4p #1 fighter in the world and has an inarguably better career than Mayweather.

Great response!!!!

i agree, not that being said these *****s are going to Hate. When i think BOTH fighters are Great Fighters

Barrera and Morrales were great fighters but once again EM beat manny with a jab and movement basically when manny was one handed. Diego Corrales, Ricky Hatton and Castillio are on the same level as Barrera and Morrales. I truly believe Marquez is clearly right next to them.

I remember people claming Mayweather wouldnt fight Baldomir the true welterweight champion and that Hatton was the true champ at 140. Once he beat both of those guys. They became bums in the eyes of HBO broadcaters and here on BS. But when Manny beat those same guys he was legendary. Please be unbiased because if we are being honest how did Manny get past the 140 class and not fight Bradley, Khan, Petersen, Alexander, Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, Kindall Holt or numerous others. Does David Diaz and a once beaten Ricky Hatton sell you on Mannys accomplishments. I think not.

Someone should punch you repeatedly for saying Corrales, Hatton, and Castillo are on the same level as Barrera and Morales. That's so wrong it's offensive as a boxing fan.

[Weebler I]

Morales, Barerra, Marquez, Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley....all beaten.



What more does Pacquiao have to do?


because guess what? he's going to do it.



Whether it's Bradley, Khan, Mayweather, Ortiz or whoever, he'll take them on and beat them. That's the difference between him and the rest.

You can't take them too seriously though. Fans and nuthuggers say things because they vehemently defend a fighter, and the media sensationalizes everything.

I know.

I did highlight in my last post that I shouldn't let it bother but in all honesty, it just does, man. It really does.

All i keep hearing from fellow boxing fans is that manny pacqiaou is the best pound for pound fighter on the planet. He got outclassed by erik morales and really hasnt fought anyone in their prime. Oscar delahoya was past it when pacman dismantled him, marquez i think won the first fight, joshua clottey didnt throw a punch. The only fight i can say i was blown away by was the margarito fight. But my question is to all you guys is whos record is more legendary....

Pacman W53 D2 L3

Mayweather W41 D0 L0


Take into account of when Mayweather fought Oscar and when Pacman did. How dominant did mayweather look against Marquez, Did manny do a good a job. Also, i thought that the mosley vs mayweather fight was better to watch than pacman and mosley. Floyd wins and looks good.

A ***** alt pretending to be a Khan fan. Disgusting! Now back to your hate thread. You think Floyd fellow American boxing writers who voted Pac as Fighter of the Decade instead of Floyd did not see the difference between them and just voted Pacquiao for fun?
