Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao - One of The Greatest

[The plunger man]

Without question one of the greatest of all time and along with mayweather is the best fighter in the last generation.
The record he has will never be beaten

it was pac vs shot shell of hoya.

*severely weight drained IV marked shot shell of hoya.

That wasnt my dispute bro. I questioned this made up knockout result from rosenthal.

even cotto sold out to the pac $$$$

Pac will not be The one and only 8 division champion, 5 division lineal champion and a FIGHTER OF THE DECADE if he's not one of the greatest.

So the years and fights that stick out, happen to be the exact time frame that he had Ariza giving him mystery shakes. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

This piece is like something written about how great Barry Bonds was, without ever mentioning the su****ions against him. After all, both Pac and Barry never failed any tests. Both were great, then suddenly became much better. Both had heads that grew in size during their 30's.

I think the years where he demolished Morales and Barrera, and edged out Marquez in their second fight were just as impressive. Some of those fights with the Mexican trio are the best fights Ive ever seen.

Pac is one of the greatest in his generation not all time... pick a weight: lightweight he would fight Duran, Jr Welter Aaron Pryor or Kid Pambele Antonio Cervantes),welterweight Leonard and Hearns... but for this generation I give him his Doom he's a great fighter and a fan favorite and I still picking to win the fight tonight by decision...

[Pacquiaotard86]

I don't have a problem with calling Pacquiao "one of" the greatest, so long as we recognize that Floyd was, without question, the better fighter!

No way, never. if that fight was in Manila, Pacquiao would have won by unanimous decision.

[QUOTE=Elroy The Great;18936452]not a fan or a hater but i did enjoy that margarito ''fight''

made sense the caveman would be the only guy above ww pac would take on.

pacs ww resume leaves much to be desired -
lucas
horn (TOP 5 ALL TIME ROBBERY)
vargas
may**
alcherry
bumbum
timmy 3x (2-1. should have been 3-0)
jmm 2x (1-1....1 KTFO !!!)
supershot mosley
margarito
...
clottey
cotto*
Slh !!!

cmon, now. which win was really that impressive ?!?!?

* = if the cotto fight was without a clause, it would have been his best win imho. was there ever an explanation as to why pac demanded it ?????

1-1 vs jmm

what else is there ????

16th fight at ww+ and i dont see the greatness.

** = could have been pacs defining moment had he not been so cheezy way back when.......(/QUOTE)

Actually amazing resume considering hes a former flyweight.

And you forgot Hatton. now that was impressive, knocking out a guy in under 2 rounds, who almost went the distance with the supposedly best boxer in the world.

No way, never. if that fight was in Manila, Pacquiao would have won by unanimous decision.

Location would not have made a difference! Manny was totally outsmarted by Floyd! Floyd is simply much smarter than Manny inside, and outside the ring! When was Manny's last fight in Manila? It's funny that 2 African-American fighters (Ali and Frazier) put Manila on the map, and the Filipino Champion has never had a World Championship fight there. Shame!

[Bronx2245]

salty salty. this is a manny thread, go make a floyd is the greatest of all time thread if you feel offended.

I don't feel offended at all. Even the author of the article had to mention Floyd in "a Manny thread," so why can't I?

"No fighter of his era comes close to matching that sparkling resume except perhaps Mayweather, who never lost a fight but didn’t face as many elite opponents as Pacquiao did. For example, Mayweather faced eight opponents in or likely to enter the Hall of Fame (Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya and Gatti)."

You should be offended by the author of this article, and not me! Lol!
