Manny Pacquiao is Undeniably The Greatest Fighter of Our Era

He is clearly the best offensive fighter of this era

Dude was fearless n believe in himself, went up divisions destroying opponents

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.

2001 musta been weak then, because Corrales today with that resume would not sniff P4P Top 10.

So if Pacquiao fought Mikey Garcia next It'd be equal to Floyd beating Corrales right? Better even, Considering Garcia is a better fighter with a better record compared to Corrales before Floyd.

Yeah he would've. GGG is on most lists, isn't he? And who are these champs Garcia beat?

[IronDanHamza]

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.

He was #5.

[IronDanHamza]

Why isn't Edwin Valero? He knocked out everyone he faced. Nothing makes a fighter look more silly than getting knocked out.

I don't know, maybe it's because Valero fought barely any ranked fighters.

[IronDanHamza]

Wow getting into the HOF is easy then.

I guess Rios, Ledwaba, & Clottey can also get in.

Doesn't matter he'll just move the goalpost and discredit the ranking during that time. Damn pac fan's I swear....none of them followed the sport back then but have the nerve to talk about fighters they've never seen fight.

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 ......

Is that why he continued to fight at 130 after the Floyd fight?

No he isn't, Pacquiao is too limited up close and doesn't display the punch variation that other fighters do, when opponents decide to move on him. So clearly is a giant stretch.

It's funny because I see a lot of the Pacquaio fans never list Sasakul as one of wins. That's actually one of his best wins and it's never in the list. Look at the OP.

This era is a bad time for fan bases. The internet era I suppose.
