His career post Marquez really isn't relevant as he'd been bodybagged and was clearly faded after that. Some even think he beat Mayweather (who had a su****ious IV) with one arm. I personally felt it looked like a draw were both did nothing but Pacquaio (due to being completely faded) looked worse doing nothing but I didn't pay a great deal attention to the fight.

    Pacquaio post Marquez is as relevant to me as Holyfield after Lewis or Benitez after Hearns for example. They'd peaked but those lost close ones at the end whereas Pacquaio was brutalized out of his best days.
    So you think Pacquaio was "boarderline finished" and ""completely faded" yet somehow managed to earn a draw with Mayweather.

    How did he do that, magic?

      Mayweather fought too cautiously. Almost scared to engage or to go for it.

      It's one of the worst fights I've ever seen at that level.

        Your error is the bold. That wasn't his best win, not by a long shot, because he was never in any danger.

        Besides you're changing history; arguably, Cotto, Hatton, Corrales, Gatti, Gernaro Hernandez, Chavez, Augustus and Castillo are Mayweather's best wins period.

        Personally, Corrales is a signature win, but many of you are too young to understand how important that win was at the time. Way more important than what Manny brought to the table. It's just that people overrated the level of threat he was to Floyd - as in, very little.

        Because of Manny failing to be aggressive. Yes, I agree.

          Sergio mora the latina snake
          Or lomachenko?
          The answer is obvious Pacquiao

          On his biggest stage he stunk out the arena, made a lame excuse saying his shoulder was injured, then miraculously healed it with salt water.

            I suppose the fact he rocked him twice was down to that too right?

            So a draw with Mayweather, beating Bradley wide dropping him, beating Vargas wide dropping him = "Boarderline finished" in your eyes.

            And you actually compare that to Holyfield post Lewis and Benitez post Hearns Hilarious.

              I don't remember him "rocking" him. Was it like when Marquez rocked him in fight III and IV? I don't remember much from that ****ty fight. It's clear post Marquez he was unable to do the things he did before and near that level before. I get it - you are a BIG Mayweather fan and you won't have it that it wasn't a spectacular win but it just wasn't. Pacquaio was probably 50/60% at most of what he previously was.

                Once again, never said it was spectacular.

                I'll pose the same question you avoided before; Why do you do that? Do you get something out of putting words in people's mouth's? Or do you do it thinking no one else will notice?

                  Easily Broner but the #1 in my lifetime has to be David Price.
                  I feel almost bad typing his name as he's such a likable bloke, I have a bit of a soft spot for him but he was hugely hyped and expected to be much better than Tyson Fury and the next big thing despite his best win being against Audrey. The heir to the Klitschko throne until an ancient Thompson derailed the hypetrain.

                      That was the most cautious i ever seen him. And faded Pacquaio was too. I actually liked the fight
                      "as an exhibition"
