Manny Pacquiao is Undeniably The Greatest Fighter of Our Era

[Xi_]

Well, you could say cotto arguably lost to clottey but pac beat of of them tho...did not say corrales was not good but overall his a larios caliber fighter...not saying the quality of wins are comparable, just the overall quality as fighters..

corrales was a better overrall fighter than larios........i'm not even sure if larios was ever a p4p fighter.

Of course he wasn't. And he was coming off a third round TKO loss. Oh, and he moved up two divisions for the fight.

You have to look at when you fight someone, not just the name. And at the time Pacquiao fought them, none of those guys were better than the Corrales that Mayweather fought.

People overrate Corrales. Look at it this way. Corrales at the point Mayweather beat him in his career would be like Mayweather fighting & beating Thurman now.

Very good fighter in his own right @ his weight but didn't really have the resume to back it up.

And I would say that Corrales was closer to his Prime around the Castillo fights, 4 years after facing Floyd.

No it wouldn't. Corrales was an undefeated top five pound for pounder when they fought. Had flattened past and present established champs. And post-Mayweather showed it wasn't a fluke and that he truly was an elite fighter. Thurman is nowhere near there yet.

is pacquiao popular in new zealand?

i love how you pac fans like to bring that up but never like to bring up the fact that cotto arguably lost clottey and most likely got his face beat in with bricks prior to fighting pacquiao. corrales was a beast, pacf@gs talk about corrales as if he wasn't a p4p fighter and a potential hof'er.

It's been well documented that Corrales was severely weight drained for the Floyd fight and had other issues like preparing to go to jail ......

Corrales was not Top 5 P4P, no chance.

That'd be like saying Mikey Garcia is Top 5 P4P now, which clearly isn't true.

And P4P lists can severely overrate people. Like Floyd in late 90's or Broner in early '10's.

Yes, he was. If you'd like to argue that those lists overrate fighters, sure. But Corrales was a pound for pounder when he fought Mayweather. Rated higher than Mayweather by The Ring. Corrales flattened Garcia for the title, then stopped Gainer and Manfredy among others. Flattened a very tough John Brown that a lightweight (read: bigger) Mosley needed nine rounds to stop on his feet in a respectable showing for Brown. Corrales was a beast and he proved it pre and post Mayweather. Thurman is just not there and that's a ****ty comparison.
