Y'all must've forgot about the greatness of Manny Pacquiao

[GrandpaBernard]

Those 3 wins were good but Mosley n Marg wins were iffy. Even though Marg was a big guy

yea marg fight was an obvious token belt grab

[IceTrayDaGang]

Remember the mosley who pac dropped and then got on his bicycle?

The mosley who drew with mora?

The mosley who hurt floyd?

All same mosley

All 3 fights within a year of each other

damm bodied him..

[IceTrayDaGang]

Wat point r u tryna make?

I just showed the ring top 4 at 147 in 2009

And pac fought all 4 in a row

damm.. bodied him again!

[Mr. 29K]

Favorite fighter of all time.



Legend.

Your favorite fighter is cotto. Don’t lie Rican. You loved how he slept with his fat friend and then he’d grab his ass after. Don’t ride on the PAC train you ****.

The concept for this thread is odd.

You can't take the ranking at one time and think it applies to when the fights actually took place. Ring's rankings span an entire year. Who knows how these guys were being ranked in between then, much less when the fights actually happened.


You can look at their rankings see that by the time they fought, Margarito is out of the top 5 in the least. If they had to re-rank him at the specific time of the fight, who knows where he would have been.

The point that detractors here are trying to make is simply that their end of 2008 ring ranking doesn't tell the tale of what caliber of fighter they were by the time of the fight.

A few months later pac entered the 147 division

Paco, Paco, Paco...


You can ask anyone on NSB, Pacquiao is my favorite fighter or all time.


Ask a mod, Larry, whoever.



I do like Cotto too, obviously but my favorite fighter from PR is Tito.

Right, but what I'm saying is that the rankings span the entire year. We don't know how they would have been ranked at the time of the fight.

For instance, he fought Margs in November 2010. Why would we go by his year ending 2008 ranking?

I think I saw in one of the rankings that Margs was ranked 6th at the year ending before the fight. And I'm sure most people knew that ranking would plummet after taking an absolute beating from Mosley, time off, and a lackluster performance in his tune up.

the logic they use to discredit manny is so weird lol..

"pac fought guys at cw".. "pac fought them when they were old"... "spence and crawford the best right now doe"..

see how flaw their logic is? lol. pac gets no credit for fighting at a cw and beating up old ATGs, yet spence and crawford are the best right now? wtf???

this is why the cycle continues. you cant expect changes if you're part of the problem. you get comments from them like "pac fans are so delusional, saying manny is the best by fighting cw and old fighters".. then you look in the next thread and see the same posters talking bout "spence and crawford da best doe".

The Ring magazine rankings at welterweight at the beginning of 2009.

The top 4 welterweights according to Ring magazine.

1. Antonio Margarito
2. Miguel Cotto
3. Shane Mosley
4. Joshua Clottey

Pacquiao's next 4 fights after beating Hatton at 140?

Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley....

In the words of the great Roy Jones Jr., "Y'all must've forgot."

When its all said and done just ike Ali, History would look at Pac and universally be called and ATG. Calzaghe, Floyd and Marciano maybe undefeated but they won't have the Global status that Ali and eventually Pacquiao will.
