    Is Pacman underappreciated?

    I'm not really a huge 147 fan but of course I watch all the bigger fights in that division.

    37 year old Pacquioa just beat a prime fighter who is top 5 in the divisions relativley easily. He was able to knock Vargas down and batter him throughout. Not to mention Vargas was coming off a TKO of Sadam Ali.

    Pacman may just be the best at 147 right now and he is 37 years old. Come one guys, even if you are a Floyd nut hugger you should be able to appreciate this.

    When Mayweather talked about fighting Garcia, it was called a cherry pick, and Garcia is a much better fighter than Vargas.

    Everybody loves Pacquiao. Stop being a *****.

      When PAC was considering Garcia iut was called a cherry pick as well and expected to destroy him.

      Garcia was porobaly considered acherry poick foir Floyd because there were tougher fights on paper, ie brook and Thurman. Garcia is tailor made

        He can only fight Top Rank fighters so no telling how good he actually is since TR has a **** WW stable. Thurman, Brook, Porter, Garcia are top of 147. Vargas and Bradley arent as good WWs so I would say 48 is being overrated in this case.

            He got plenty of props from real boxing and fight fans for the Vargas fight. And no, anyone that's even laced up the gloves for even 1 round has to appreciate and respect the hell outta Pac. He's a living legend, and an ATG.

            In fact, I realized I appreciated him a lot more than other guys like Floyd, who now that he's retired, I've really come to be a fan of again, not because he's not fighting anymore, but because it's ****** to not appreciate the greatest boxers of all time, and one of the greatest ring technicians ever.

                  Floyd's not one of, if not, the greatest ring technician of all time?

                    Garcvia is a cherry pick for PAC, as there are other boxers with a better chance than Garcia.

                    Man, PAC just beat Bradley, let him fight Vargas man! Floyd just beat berto. Do you want Floyd to have another easy fight?
