And in doing so Pacquiao showed us where the bar truly, currently sits. This would have been like Chavez beating De La Hoya when they fought. The difference is De La Hoya's generation was packed with talent and Oscar was a legitimate HOFer unlike the crap piles we have active currently.

Yep, all true.
Major respect to De La Hoya he never backed down from a challenging opponent. He fought the best of the best in his era in their primes.
These days we have cherry pickers like Crawford and Spence trying to inflate their “win” record to market themselves as “the best”.
Gotta blame Floyd for all that malarkey.

Originally posted by FredRekk View PostI don’t think he underestimated him. He just lost to a greater fighter, even at age 40. Pacquiao smelled the blood in the water and he took him apart. Outclassed him, even hit a little dance moves after a couple rounds. He was consistently out boxing and out thinking Thurman the whole fight.
Pacquiao took a couple middle rounds off and then lit him up again starting in the 10th and then finished Thurman off. He could’ve gone in for the kill and KO’d him but he already had the decision in the bag.
Pacquiao even at 40, is still worlds above the current WW boxers. Nucking futs.

One of the greatest boxers, Julio Cesar Chavez, called Manny the GOAT.
Erik Morales says Pacman is the GOAT.
