I'm impressed with Pacquiao

[T18Z]

First of I wanna say, Pacquiao-haters, get the **** out of here... I'm a Mayweather fan and I think Floyd would beat Pacquiao by united decision if they ever fought, although it would be the hardest fight in his career. But credit is deserved where credit belongs.

After the first Bradley fight, even though Pacquiao clearly won that fight, I thought Pacquiao wouldn't have the balls for a rematch, considering how Bradley was limited by injuries last time and how Pacquiao missed a lot of times when both the commentators and the crowd made us believe his punches landed.

I thought he would just let it slip and I thought to myself: "If Pacquiao doesn't take a rematch here, then there can be only one option and that is, he's scared. **** his excuses about 'everyone saw who won', I still haven't gotten over how one of my favourite fighters, Froch, dodged a rematch with Dirrell who would obviously accept it if it was offered to him. Controversial fights needs rematches and the winner of the controversial fight is scared if it doesn't happen".

And then, all of a sudden... Pacquiao and Bradley will fight each other again! Even as a Mayweather fan, I usually find Mayweather's demands and excuses for avoiding Pacquiao weird (especially considering how I think Mayweather would win the fight), but I'm now more convinced than ever that Mayweather is the one avoiding Pacquiao.

Why?

Because, by accepting a rematch with Bradley, Pacquiao has earned my respect as a warrior who is never afraid to fight the best to prove his worth. If Pacquiao beats Bradley again, then I think Pacquiao should immediately be #2 P4P in the world.

Mayweather has still accomplished more than Pacquiao, but if Pacquiao beats Bradley directly, then Mayweather will really need to beat Pacquiao to continue to deserve his P4P #1 ranking, unless he beats Bradley too or beats Golovkin.

Nah, he hasn't; 8 division champion, first 3 of his division wins he was a major underdog, defeated the 3 mexican legends, Barrera p4p n.2 etc. Mayweathers resume and accomplishments ain't got anything on Pacquaio's.

Mostly everything else I agree with.

Is everyone just ignoring "united decision"?

There's a lot of things I'm ignoring from this guy. Like Froch giving Dirrel a rematch during the Super 6. The list goes on.

If anyone feels that Pacquiao has ever dodged anyone or can mention examples of when he took risky respectable fights, then please contribute with your observations.

You don't want this to happen, you really don't.

Dude, don't talk. Your P4P list is:
1. Mayweather
2. Andre Ward
3. Rigondeaux
4. Pacquaio
5. Danny Garcia
6. Timothy Bradley
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Juan Marquez
9. Erislandy Lara
10. Provodnikov

While it should really be...
1. Mayweather
2. Andre Ward
3. Pacquaio
4. Wladimir Klitschko
5. Timothy Bradley
6. Juan Marquez
7. Rigondeaux
8. Danny Garcia
9. Erislandy Lara
10. Provodnikov

And that's just going immediately by the 10 you chose to be on the list.

I wouldn't even talk about lists if I was you.

You have 4 WW's and 2 jr WW's in your top ten.

Like how the **** are you gonna have 4 WW's as P4P? How can 4 guys be THE MAN in one division?

60% of the fighters on your P4P list are WW's.

I know a lot of people think having an 0 in your loss column is the greatest thing, as well as earning north of $20m for each fight. It's an accomplishment alright although bordering on the fringes of legacy talk.

On the other hand, 8 championships in 8 divisions, skipping 2 divisions along the way. Taking only on the toughest mofos in boxing, and the list of opponents littered with future HOFs. That is true accomplishment.

I think people are overlooking how much this means to Manny's legacy. Yes, his ATG credentials are secure but a win here could potentially be big.

would it be legit for Ward and Stevenson to fight for a vacant Heavyweight title? while neither was really a Heavyweight? I'm curious, would you guys consider that to be legit?
