Will we ever see a legendary run like what Pacquiao did from '06-'09 again?

    I answered the question the TS asked. I don't think the run he highlights is as impressive as he does given the context of each fight. I think my answer is fair.

    When these kinds of questions are asked about Manny or other top fighters many of you immediately pivot to asking about Floyd whenever a Floyd fans answers the question as if being a Floyd fan automatically mitigates the answer given or makes it biased.

    That isn't right.
    No that’s not it. I agree with your assessment dun. I just wasted to pick your brain a bit. I know you support Floyd big time and that’s cool. I’ve asked others and the flo mo comes out in them

      I think Floyd is in the same boat, name value high but context (like JMM coming up and the whole waiting to sign the contract until it got changed to 146) affects how the wins are seen.

        Pacquiao’s career>Floid’s career.

        Floyd was the king of cherry pickers and hugged and pitter patted his way to boredom.

        Pacquiao fought his way to worldwide stardom. There is no comparing the two.

        But if you are black, you’ll say Mayweather is the GOAT because you’ll want to assimilate to another black mans successes because you share skin colors. LAME really, Mayweather was a boring piece of pvssy

          You put a lot of stock on rankings right?

          You must rank floyd extremely high considering that.
          lol..............

            Floyd and Manny fought a lot of the same people

            Hatton
            Oscar
            Mosley
            Jmm

            so how is Floyd a cherry picker and not Manny?

              He clearly beat Marquez in the first and second. Next two are up in the air lets not exaggerate now.

                Always love these responses, especially considering Floyd is always ranked higher than Manny in any credible poll of boxing media people and historians, almost all of who are not black.

                What is the reason for their voting this way since they are not black and presumably are not trying to "assimilate to another black mans successes because you share skin colors "?

                    We'll never see the prime version of Pacquiao (and haven't since 09) Because he began PED testing after that.

                      Really?

                      You really actually think Pacquaio clearly won those fights?
