      Pacquiao-Mosley - Mosley ran to survive, boring
      Pacquiao-Marquez III - average fight, robbery
      Pacquiao-Bradley - after 4-5 rounds Bradley ran, boring
      Pacquiao-Marquez IV - exciting fight

      Put him in against Matthysse, Rios, Maidana, Ortiz, Garcia, Zaveck, Berto and we'll see exciting performances.
      Pacquiao v Mosley- Pacquiao displayed an inability to cut the ring off.
      Pacquiao v Marquez- Good fight and Marquez was robbed.
      Pacquiao v Bradley- Pacquiao showed an inability to cut the ring off and the close the distance against a one legged opponent. He also gassed in the later rounds and was outboxed.

      Pacquiao v Marquez- An exciting fight due to Pacquiao throwing caution to the wind ( being a reckless idiot). The result of the fight being exciting was Pacquiao getting knocked the **** out.

        No he won't. The Phippinees is not 'Asia'.

        Asia's top countries are
        China
        Japan
        S KOREA.

        These 3 are the economic power houses of Asia and the world. Not one of those 3 countries care one bit about Pacquaio.

        When you think 'Asia' you think China... You don't think Phipinnes. It is what it is.

        Saying 'Asia' will miss Pacquaio is like saying EUROPE will miss Wladimir.
        When it's obviously just Ukraine and Germany.
        (Although Germany's standings in Europe is higher than Phipine's standings in Asia)

          On the other hand Mayweather fighting once a year against the likes of Ortiz and Guerrero..i wouldn't miss that.
          I can only think of his knock out of Ricky Hatton, and Marquez knocking him out as two good moments in recent years.

            I give Floyd his props one of the best super feathers ever and Manny props, but the truth is there already, that Pacquiao is more loved, Floyd has never taken a loss so we will never know if he will be missed or still have the same numbers that Pacman with multiple losses gets. There are only a few fighters who can have multiple losses in the ppv era and still draw big numbers Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao. That shows that people love Pacman, and it eats up at the Flom0s, because they think once a fighter loses he is a bum, so we know how they will treat Floyd probably make an excuse for his loss and than bounce off to the next undefeated african american boxer.

              I foresee american audiences trashing Pacquiao just because of losing that way to a mexican.

                His fanbase won't be but I think when it is all said and done I think even people who are not Pacquiao Fans will look back and give the man his respect as they should

                  Pacquiao will be missed, he always brought excitement in the ring, in the other hand I can live without watching floyd again, few of his fights had some excitement and some flat ****** balls like when he fought baldo and ***ing ran the last 6 rounds... he can eat poop and die..

                    Pac was an exciting guy but boxing will always have exciting fighters to fill the void.

                      he will definitely be missed...like it or not, the guy did a lot for the sport...brought a light to a backpage sport and made it something people were talkin about again

                      when he's finally gone, people will finally realize that they were along for an ATG ride...there wont be anyone like him for a long time...if ever


                      Floyd on the otherhand, his illegitimate online children have already hopped on Broner's vagina and probably wont miss Floyd as much
