      Crawford's win over Burns was ok. Burns should've lost to Beltran, i actually see Beltran, Manny's sparring partner, as a better fighter. And Gamboa has looked like *****, he was nearly gettin Ko'ed by journey men, came back after a long lay off to fight Crawford at a weightclass he doesn't belong. Don't get me wrong, great string of wins for Crawford, and i like seeing that from the up and coming generation, but Pacquiao competed at a higher caliber, and made it look easy, really easy.

      Fans need to settle down a little bit, look at the real picture. I know it's fun seeing new fighters stringing good wins together, but Pacquiao was far more dominant, against better competition.

      Pacquiao should be fighter of the year.
      This!
      Very true, I think most people rooting for TC are only doing it because of similar nationalities.

      Pacquiao clearly has the better wins against active opponents.

      Ricky Burns - Should have lost to Beltran and he had just returned from an operation to sort out his jaw, since losing to TC he lost to an absolute nobody.

      Beltran - He has no big wins on his record and has been stopped before by nobodies.

      Gamboa - Year of inactivity and yes he was getting starched hard by guys he should have been schooling that and he was fighting at a weight class that was too big for him mix that in with the fact that TC is very big for lightweight it takes a lot of the shine off TC best win.

        Beltran beat hank Lundy.

        I think most would agree that was a pretty good win.

            Well, he won. That's what we know. A lot of people felt Bradley lost to provodnikov which means he would have been 1-2 going into the Pacquiao fight by your standards.

            Isn't so impressive anymore then.
            bradley was p4p number 3 at the time

            lara is not a grade A fighter, he is a B fighter

              Lol alright.

              Couldn't care less about some mythical ranking. Bradley was never #3 in real life and pacquiao was favoured to beat him yet was #5 by the time they fought.

              Makes sense right? No? That shows you how much the P4P rankings means.

                im sorry but just because he got an arguable decision against provo then was hyped as much as a fighter can be for the next 6 months dont make it an impressive victory at all if pac is fighter of the year after beating a guy he already beat and beating algeiri then our sport of boxing is done as far a awards go

                    The point is Nonito Donaire was just as good a win and so was Lara.

                    People said Lara would beat Mayweather ffs. Bradley had already been beaten by Pacquiao, rematch was pointless and nobody was asking for it. But good job on rewriting history.
