Is Manny Pacquiao the most overrated fighter of the past 25 years?

[Treaxey]

Well hes beaten everyone put in front of him relatively easy for the last 7 years so why you dont think he should be rated highly for that is anyones guess.

I would agree floyds far more overated, for someone who dont fight.

He didn't even win his last fight, so what the hell are you on about?

[SplitSecond]

And Pacquaio was actually heavier on Fight Night than Oscar.

People forget that.

Crazy if you think about it.

oscar was weight drained

and wait, was cotto, margarito, mosley, clottey etc not bigger than pac? what is that idiot you quoted goin on about?

I think he meant as the underdog. That the only time Pacquaio was the underdog and the smaller man was Oscar.

Atleast I think that's what he means.

Most definitely over rated, but far from being a bum....

Dont fall in the trap of mentioning JMM like all Pac haters do. Not being able to beat one opponent convincinly, and not being able to beat someone as great as JMM, again only one opponent, does not make Pac overated.

He can struggle to beat JMM, but still be better than SRR! That logic might be a bit hard to understand for some people. So dont mention JMM again, as it means you have given up debating and felll into a trap and need to change the record.

Thank you. Someone had to say it.

Padded by bums? Learn boxing. The guy started off at 16, he fought in a dog eat dog system, fought for a title at an early age and considered by the opponent as just another bum.

You don't reach his level by fighting bums.

First off, most of you only know about boxing because of Pacquiao.

Look at Pacquiao's first 40 fights. He was fighting BUMS.

LOL@learn boxing.

When you wait until your 41st fight to step up to the big stage you've padded your record with BUMS.

If you think I'm wrong, then judge Pacquiao as if he only had those 40 fights. Where would he be ranked? What would his status today be? Who would know his name outside of local Asian gyms?

Don't try to hype up Manny's padded resume just because he got knocked out twice by the bums he fought. Truthfully, none of you so-called fans even factor in the fact that Manny was KTFO twice by journeymen. You turn a blind eye to the facts in favor of idol worship. If Floyd had been KTFO twice every short round on this site would be all over it with a youtube video. ESPECIALLY IF IT WERE BUMS THAT KNOCKED HIM OUT!

Cut the crap.
