Has there been another fighter to blast through so many expectations as Pacquiao?

He was the favorite in both fights and in the second fight people were disappointed by his choice of opponent. That thread is just some shameless d|ck riding.
    Come the time the fights were signed he was favourite. But when those fights were first mention he was not.

    You mentioned Pacquiao vs Cotto or Pacquiao vs Margarito and people would like, don't be silly are you trolling, they would need a bucket to mop Pacquiao up at the end of the fight.

    Go back to after the Diaz fight and Oscar fight and see what everybody thought about those fights.

      Arum was asked about it after the Diaz fight and laughed, saying Cotto is too big.

      At that time 99% of people were saying Pacquiao would get killed by Miguel.
      i know what you saying but a lot of my boxing pal said back would beat cotto at the time

        So Pacquiao has been the underdog 3 times in his entire career? His career doesn't sound so amazing when you think about it.

          I know he upset Baer for the Heayweight title, who else did he cause an upset against.

          Ali had a few, notably against Liston and Foreman, but so far I can think of no one that comes close to Pacquiao.

              What Pac did was amazing but we'll see on June 9 if he's actually diminishing or if it's just Marquez he can't handle

                maybe you don't want a featherweight to do the same thing floyd did in his welter defense?

                if the fight goes through. hit me up and we'll put some money on it.

                    I remember when the Margarito fight was announced, I just told myself WTF this dude is nuts. I didn't doubt Pacquiao but I also didn't think he would give Margarito the beating that he did and thought he would receive one himself. The guy is something else and Idk how people hate on him. He's humble and not some loud mouth obnoxious dude.

                      Hatton is relentless, Pacman if focused he's relentless as well... but again its Hatton's edge on this one... but there might be some surprises... you'll never know...

                      The majority of people also thought Hatton would be too big and strong for Pacquiao when the fight was first mentioned and we all know what happened there.
