    And then you will talk about mayweathers champion titles....where hes faught people such as Judah which was one of his bigger wins at WW...but realistically who is Judah? Hes a gatekeeper...Carlos Baldomir....

    You can criticise pac...and yes some of his fans go on about him so much it begins to bring hate on the dude

    But at the end of the day...Hes been the underdog for most his big fights n still wins

    Barrera, Marquez, Morales.... Fighting those people alone would give someone huge credit let alone winning majority of the fights

    People rip pac for the marquez fights... but how many fighters have you seen make a match even with someone who they know is completely wrong for their style..and still make a 3rd fight?

    You got balls if u fight someone who is all wrong for u 3 times....

    If mayweather ever had the balls pac has, he might be labelled the greatest of this era

    The difference is, it took a guy named pacquiao to finally get mayweather to take some risks and fight some people we actually want to see him fight
    Has he?

    I have 3 by my count, and one of them wasn't a big fight.

      Oscar fought both guys and stated Floyd was the best.

      And no, it's not because he co-promotes Floyd's fights.

        every fanbase overrate their favorite fighter...on the other hand his rival's fanbase will underrate him. in other words, the pac-tards and flo-mos as far as pac is concerned.

        if you take those 2 out and just consider the nuetral fans, is pac overrated? i don't think so.

            I doubt he was the underdog for Morales II. And, I'm pretty sure he was the favorite for Cotto as well.

              No, that couldn't possibly be it.

                    manny pacquiao is the most decorated & accomplished fighter of the last 25 years, how in the world could he be the most overrated?

                    Its impossible. He's rated just right.

                      no...Manny can actually rumble...he's beaten some of boxing's biggest names under the brightest lights....Ricky Hatton on the other hand will probably dance into the HOF with no REAL justification....De La Hoya, fought them ALL...and LOST ALL the ones the really mattered....but he'll dance into the HOF with ease as well....IMO those 2 dudes are way more overrated than Manny....my 2 pennies
