Since 2009, how many fights will Pac have fought with a ranked opp at the weight

[hugh grant]

Im all about facts...no smoke or mirrors

Since 2009 Manny Pacquiao's overall competition has been decent to underwhelming

After beat a post beatdown Cotto in 2009 Manny beat/fought

1)Clottey, who was ranked but just lost to Cotto

2)Mosley was still ranked at the time but was coming off a draw at 154, a dominating loss to Mayweather and hadnt won a fight at 147 in years

3)Marquez in fights 3 and 4 was not ranked at ww and IMO marquez deserved to win that 3rd fight

4) Bradley was not ranked in the first fight at 147, but was in the second fight after beat Marquez

5)Rios unranked

6) Algieri unranked

7)Antonio Margarito was unranked at 154, fought for a title at a catchweight in a weight class neither were ranked

my talley of fights with ranked to unranked at the time he fought them is 3-6

thats pretty mediocre considering his status as a p4p fighter and a "world champion" and he has held a title most of the time at ww from '09-'14


simply put.....I love boxing and am a big Manny Pacquaio fan but if he doesnt start fighting guys who are at least ranked in his weight class when he fights them, id rather he retire. Why fight no-names anf you are a global icon and all time great.

Hater trying to make excuses. Lets not forget that at the time Bradley was considered a tougher fight than Cotto was for floyd.
Floyd was sittin g on the sofa which is easier.

Unranked by who? The Governing bodies are no rule to go by and Bradley/Marquez deserved a Pacquiao fight both times despite being 'unranked'.

Algieri is a rubbish fight though... I can forgive Rios because Pacquiao was coming off a layoff and being brutally KO'd. Margarito was a bit ***** though as well.

Governing bodies, ring magazine, you me whoever wouldn't put some of the guys at top ten ww
If rankings dont matter, they wouldnt exist

Marquez deserved it.....there were more appealing fights at ww than Bradley who only fought abregu beforehand at ww

Rios wasn't no ww...he only fought a couple times above 135

Manny waited to long to fight all the top guys....dont forget when he fought odlh, mosley, and cotto none were coming off great wins only struggles and bad losses

Mayweather ko'ed Hatton first when he was undefeated and broke him down. Never the same.

You can't front on how Hatton, got iced by the little dude. Personally I don't think Floyd had anything to do with that murking, at all. You see how he had the ready made excuse for Brian Kenny, saying Hatton didn't follow his pop's game plan. Lol

I love when people try to discredit Pac. He's an ATG. Get over it. Now enjoy the rest of the debate. I have shit to do.

Bradley >>>>>> Guerrero, Ortiz, maidana, past prime Mosley who was coming off a more than 1 year layoff

Quality >>>>>>> quantity

Pac fighting at welterweight where his body and frame not even belongs there were just icing on the cake. Pac overall wins at welterweight alone sh it on the coward overalll resume. Floyd best wins (not including the weight cheating -Marquez, weight draining - Canelo, sucker punching - Ortiz and glove b!tching - Maidana) were against Oscar, Haton, Cotto and Mosley. We already know how a former flyweight champ Pac easily disposed them while the coward went life and death against them. Well unless you think beating Guerrero was his greatest win of all time. LMAO!

If Pac is not that great, your boy is totally a garbage coward.

try focusing on what the thread starter stated and not bring up floyd for once

[strykr619]

I love revisionist history...

Before Manny beat Oscar...... Bad Match up too big for Manny (Oscar quits)
Before Manny beat Cotto...... see above (Cotto gets TKOed)
Before Manny beat Margarito see above (Marg gets Brutalized)
Before Manny beat Mosley... see above (after getting knocked down running
started running to not get KOed).

I should keep trying but clearly I don't need to....
