Just How Good Was Prime Manny Pacquiao?

[PAC-BOY]

It brings sense as to why a fighter would fight a guy or not fight a guy.

Us fans want to see great fights, hopefully the guys we root for will be involved.

Yes and that is all im saying i personally care about. Seeing the best fights i can. Not a spectacle. Nor do care about someones worth.
Guys are trying now to follow that Mayweater blue print and its not gonna happen anymore. People are not gonna pay big money again to see shlt like they dis when he was getting paid. And we the fans got ripped off.
I cant ever remember seeing a Floyd fight i was like "WOW damn good fight" Hes never even been a candidate for fight of the year in any of his fights.
Yet us fans pay to see this garbage to get disappointed each time. It was a show and why his fights were few and far between and well orchestrated he got paid big money to throw it our face and be amped up by the media as one of the best.
It propaganda . I can watch Gatti Ward or Barrera Morrales or PAC and JMM type fights and not a give a shlt what they get paid.
Fights that you can remember as being great is what matters to me and the fighters that made them. Of course that is how i feel about it.

Do you consider mismatches where your guy pummels his opponent fun times ? ?

May is boring because he usually outclasses his opponent rather easily. If you feel his opponents are weak, aim that criticism at Pac as well.

Pac is given passes because he smiles and has a fan friendly style. If Pac was brash and had a super ego.......

May was more exciting before he moved up.

If May comes back, you know everyone is going to want to fight him.

Floyd would make more money than any fighter in the world to come back and fight anybody, kinda makes your post BS.

- -Fighterof the Decade again.

No fighter has ever come close to his accomplishments.

The boxer that got me into boxing, the legend himself. After a few years of lackluster fights at TR, Pac vs Thurman was one of the most exciting fights i’d seen. Wish he would retire before he gets hurt but he always remain my all time favorite fighter for being the reason i’m a big boxing fan

I like Pacquiao as a boxer and his story of coming from nothing to becoming something.

Interesting comment by Jonny Nelson the Sky Sports boxing pundit. Asked who would of won when both Mayweather and Pacquaio were in their primes he stated Mayweather no contest.To slick,quick and technical .

After May and Pac disappointing the *** out of everyone...nobody is gonna want to see that shlt show. I will stream it for free like most people will. would never pay for it.

To stay active you have to fight some game lesser opponents. A fighter of Mannys stature has fought some of the best in 8 different world classes. Most in there prime. Some not. So when he fights a live dog a game guy that everyone knows Manny will win against it comes to no shock. Not Manny fighters are on Mannys level. What can you expect. Crawford has same issue right now except he is getting credit AND NOT FIGHTING ANYONE on any elite level. Past Present or future.

May is more boring because his style is boring. tap hug tap hug run slip tap hug run run tap hug. NONE of his fights has NEVER even been nominated for a candidate for fight of a year. Even the commentators criticized his fights as boring during the fights lol As for his opponents. Everyone knows their is no denying that he fought them past prime when big paydays for them were over and any hope of a big fight seemed far on the radar. Either take the May deal and make more than you will make on any other fight or dont take it and retire with less money. I truly believe that fighters were paid to make him look good. And lose. Including Manny!

Before May moved up. He was an average fighter with decent skills and fights were better post DLH. After DLH and after that fake retirement. It was the May show. Marketing at its best. Well orchestrated. When you have to cut out and stop fighting because you have no more actors to fight in your show all you can do is retire. He wasnt old or out of shape and wasnt looking his age. The sham was up. Time to move on.

Floyd would make more money than any fighter in the world to come back and fight anybody, kinda makes your post BS.

You sit there and think that. Against who?

Crawford? NO cant buy him out.
SPence? NO. cant buy him out.
Porter? NO. cant buy him out.
Thurman? NO cant buy him out.

Danny Garcia. Maybe. But who would give a *** about that fight?
Manny? I think Manny already took a buy out from Floyd. Thats if his shoulder injury was really the issue Would take another IMO. Both fighters threw and landed the lowest in their career. So it look suspect to me. And them meeting alone. Hundreds of millions of reasons why this could have been the biggest sham ever. And after that horrible boring lack luster fight...who in the right mind would see that rematch and pay 100.00 and or go see it for the ticket prices it once had. It would not compare or come close to.

Other than that May in the octagon against Connor or someone their. Or some dog shlt event like he did with a kick boxer *** head lol

meanwhile....Manny is fighting young undefeated hungry hard hitting lions still and winning. Keep that in mind

[GhostofDempsey]

He was so good a prime Mayweather avoided him.

[Young Money]

Pac has been looking really good though, destroying guys at this age.

It just shows how much Mayweather dominated him in their fight. Floyd was too accurate, damaged Pac's shoulder and made him miss too many times.

[lopetego]

prime Pacquiao was a unique type of beast

a fantastic fighter, with never tiring speed, accuracy and ferocity

Mayweather ducked him like the plague for years, after watching the destruction of Cotto, *****ass Floydette wanted none of that

He was so good a prime Mayweather avoided him.

Yeah, he only found his balls after Pacquiao was out of physical and mental prime and had been brutally KO'd, looking like a shadow of his former self

even then, he still had to win that fight in cowardly fashion
