Just How Good Was Prime Manny Pacquiao?

[UNBANNED]

ATG and all round legend.

One of the best to ever do it. No fighter will ever be able to achieve what he did giving up so much height and reach to various opponents.

Prime Pac was so fearsome that even a prime Floyd was too scared to fight him.

8 division champion and he's still going.

Had an amazing performance against Thurman and potentially still has more greatness left

Had some amazing fights and rivalries.

Came back from getting brutally ktfo by the legendary JMM to further add to his one of a kind legacy.

A true champion and legend.

War Pac.

I hope he retires soon and doesn't pull a RJJ or Bernard Hopkins by continuing to push mother nature too long.

Beat Garcia (either) and call it a day. I'd rather he didn't fight Spence due to Spence's injuries (I'd like to see Spence take another year off to make sure he's as recovered as he can be).

Pac vs Garcia is the perfect cap to a legendary career.

When you look at the height and reach disparaties Pac has been up against in many of his fights is simply insane.

Prime Pac was gone before he fought Bradley the first time and it's incredible that Pac is still a champion and even competitive at top level against bigger guys.

We are lucky to have witnessed the phenomenon that was/is Manny 'Pacman' Pacquaio.

Hopkins ADDED to his legacy through his 40s...beating prime Pavlik, Pascal, and a host of regular contenders...and he was deep in his 40s. Entertaining AF tbh

One of the best.

Your arguing with a guy who still think's pac isn't an 8 division champ even thou I actually gave him links and proof that he is, i even kept the links for future reference.

I think he just has it in for Pacquaio at this point.

More like pawing with him. I know hes just a ****** alt trolling a boxing forum because he has no friends or girl. Its ok. I feel bad for him.

and youre right his only purpose is to hate on Manny and he thinks using Floyd is a best way of doing it. And hes way off on that.

100% Hopkins added to it in his 40s but he continued too long and got TKO'd out of the ring.

He should never have taken that final fight. Defensive fighters age better than offensive ones.

Hopkins is also an ATG and it's amazing what he did as an ancient boxer. Oldest world champion!

Still continued too long though as his final fight showed.

Pac's career above 140 was a lot of smoke and mirrors and BS titles. Seriously, who in their right mind counts pac a 154lb champ? Lol.

Fans dont care about the fine print thats why they never ever mention a CW and guys coming off their career worst loses then fed a few cans are then CWed into Manny.

All fine print lol.

The ''giants'' Pac had to survive -
Soft ''hitting'' Vargas
Shot to shlt Margarito
Useless Algeiri
A skeleton named Oscar

Pac is always making sure he plays it as safe as possible.
