Originally posted by megadeth View PostI will give you Barrera and Marquez, but please stop with the Morales stuff. He was past it AND could barely make weight when Pac beat him(hence to overweight penalty & insistance of the fight being at 130). His record after beating Pac was 4-7.

Originally posted by megadeth View PostI am still amazed that Pac got so much credit for this win. When they announced he would fight Cotto, I thought it was a complete duck of Mosley, his team picking Cotto at the right time(Roach agreed) and a complete mismatch. It was made even worse to add a catchweight to boot.

Atg's Before him feasted on unranked fighters. It didn't affect their legacy.
And why hate catchweight but not the ridiculous rehydration of Margarito. Pacquiao is basically fighting a Middleweight that night and he outclassed him and outpointed in 12 rounds. That fight should have been TKO but it's not and it shorten Margarito's Career because of the broken eye socket caused by Pacquiao.

Why does every thread that has to do with Pacquiao's resume or just Pacquiao period have to turn into a "but Mayweather did this thread"? I mean it literally took 2 comments for this thread to get hijacked. Why can't his resume be looked at in detail without Floyd's name coming up. You guys have attached his name to Floyd so much that now that Floyd has beaten him the loss looks that much worse. Give it a rest for once... and yes his resume (Pac) in welter and jr welter for the passed 7 years has been pretty bad... probably not even a top 100 resume in welter if you are looking at it the right way.

No.
CWs, unrankers and beat-ups will not affect Pacquiaos legacy.
In time, all those issues will fade away.
But there are other issues that will live in infamy with the name Pacquiao.
The fact that he lost to Mayweather will be forever remembered.
The fact that he was brutaly KOd by Marquez will also be remembered.
Those two defeats knocked Pacquiao out of a Top 10 P4P All-Time list.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostTruthfully, no. His YouTube vids still, and always will, get far more hits than Mayweather or anyone else of this last gen. People love him for the entertainment he provided and he did enough spectacular things that he'll be remembered favorably. In the end, no one cares about the minutia, they remember a fighter for the entertainment he brought.
