    Why do trainers, boxers past and present, promoters, managers, etc. praise

    Manny Pacquiaos achievements whereas a small segment of boxing fans do nothing but try to write off what hes done as insignificant? To hear this small group tell it, Manny has done nothing special in his 18 years of professional fighting. Every achievement was apparently handed to him and set up for him to succeed.

    Okay, I laughed. I usually don't at response threads, but this works for me.

      Every fighter has a group of people small or large which discredits his accomplishments. That said i never heard anyone say manny hasnt done anything special at all, not a single person.

      But to pretend the catchweights and whatnot doesnt diminish some his achievments is ridiculous. Still an atg though, obviously..

        You have obviously not been reading these boards then. Its rampant. and no, catchweights have been going on in boxing long before Manny was even born. Nobody, ever, in any era complained about catchweights. When Floyd fought Marquez, not a single Floyd fan complained about it.

            are you going to do this for every Floyd thread? The truth is that Pac was getting way more credit than Floyd until recently and you know thats true

                You just answered your own question, That small segment is the people that are Mayweather fanatics, or just trolling to stir up the Pac fanatics.
                Manny is a great fighter, but just like Floyd he should be ridiculed for pick of opponents as well. It is overlooked; (especially on here) Pac was called out by P-Will, and Sergio but on here you only hear that Mayweather "ducked them. Nobody questions that he mostly if not only fights Top Rank guys, Pac doesn't get too much blame for the "Big Fight" not being made. (I personally blame Arum more than Pac in that 1 though)
                With all that said you have to still appreciate what Pac has done.
