Manny Pacquiao is Undeniably The Greatest Fighter of Our Era

[Kagami Taiga]

I often wonder if Reloaded served in Vietnam which is why he has such resentment for the Pacman.

What does Vietnam have to do with the Philippines? That's like saying someone should hate Turks because they fought in the Afghanistan war.

Dunno maybe he extrapolates his PTSD from Vietnam to all South east Asians

I don't know any true historian or follower of the sport who would rank Mayweather over Pacquiao when he has avoided fighting the best for over a decade now.

Lol, he ran for the hills just like all the keyboard warriors on here would. I didn't make him say he was a street fighting expert and then puss out when I mention a prominent gym in Milwaukee we could spar at. That was all him, he embodies all the bravery that is the pacstan keyboard warriors of NSB.
