Just How Good Was Prime Manny Pacquiao?

[Mr. Anonymous]

Neither did Lance Armstrong, Shane Mosley or Floyd.

And ? Manny was never involved with seen or admitted unlike the above mentioned were either. Thanks for adding to the facts

[Roadblock]

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

Undefeated broken fighters with a name is what Manny is jumping on lol , Broner B grade , Mattythese shot and Thurman was broken, he wants nothing to do with Spence until the car crash, he wants nothing to do with Porter or Crawford , he WILL fight Danny Garcia after Danny is fed two bum wins from a loss to hype a Pac fight .

Manny is man made, meaning hand picked matching to get every advantage he can and if you know boxing it stands out like a Baboons ass, they have maximised his popularity so much they get a pass for anything from CWs to B graders coming from loses, there is a career of it.

And nowhere do I say Manny is not an ATG, Im saying he wasnt the best of this era and he was matched perfectly to get where he is, and Im stating Manny will fight Garcia next , which is another prime example of a sliding big name beaten by a B grader then fed 2 C graders and then into a Manny fight. all the while Porter and Crawford are never mentioned or Spence until the car crash, not that I blame him but to say he fights the lions is fan BS, the only lions Manny fights are limping.

One of the greats. You know with Pacquiao your always going to get your moneys worth. He always put on a show and his style was exciting to watch. Was surprised how badly he pieced up Margarito and how he dispatched Cotto with relative ease. Cotto was a live dog and got the snot beat of him.

[CHOWWOKKA]

Maybe only a handful of fighters in history could have beaten manny in his prime

Absolute rubbish. Manny Pacquiao is an old man in boxing now, why should he fight Spence or Crawford. Pacquiao was not suppose to beat Thurman either.

You casuals are funny as ***. Not once did you ever mentioned an 8 time world champion and fighter of the decade and all the great fighters he fought.
So out of his 25 yrs of fighting and 70 fights with the resume he has AND STILL fighting and WINNING. You mention a few guys YOU think are broken. Like Thurman...lmfao Someone whos been winning and WAS undefeated. And in the top 10 in all ratings. (but YOU little ole you) thinks hes broken lmfao!
You have your dumbazz opinion but just you and a small majority of lame ass casuals with no knowledge may think the same idiotic shlt you think. You base Mannys entire career on that. He made his whole career up? hahahahahahaha Thats about one of the dumbest things ive ever heard of.

So with all that shlt you talk...You say nowhere did you say hes NOT an ATG? LMFAO!!!! So you think hes an ATG but not the best of his era? Okay!

Im gonna end with the Garcia thought! Most casuals dont understand the sport. I get it. I do. So i feel good explaining to you. Thought process. They are throwing names up. Dannys name came up. I dont like Danny at all. Dont think he deserves a fight with Manny. Manny is the Cash Cow. He is the Draw. Nobody can bring what Manny can bring. So the other top guys at 147 needs to bring that wow factor to the table so Manny can fight them. Meanwhile He will keep fighting and staying busy. Manny. Now i just hear That Spence wants to fight Garcia if he wins his next fight. Now that makes sense. Then maybe Spence can set himself up a shot a Pacquiao.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MANNY! Deal with it!

His destruction of Marco Antonio Barrera in his prime as a 3-1 dog and then beating Oscar De La Hoya were his biggest moments.

Bro casual fans just dont understand

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.

For every fan who won't pay for it, there will be millions who will and they know it. Pac is begging for it. Pac and his excuse made a shlt fight even shlttier....and still millions will pay to see it again. That's the power of May.

I agree that May's style since moving up isn't the most fan friendly style. After a while a fan knows what to expect. You don't go see a movie that doesn't interest you.

Mismatches are time wasters. They don't prepare a top guy for future top guys. They are glorified sparring sessions. Sure, once every decade a big under dog will pull off a fluke.

I won't get into resumes here...you are either unbiased and tell it like it is or you're not. No sense in debating that.

Fu ck FOTD....May was p4p and ppv king when he was active. And even a largely inactive May is a possible FOTD winner. Pac should not win off of the Thurman fight. He lost to May, was slept by JMM and robbed 2x. 4 L's on the ledger. If Pac wins, that shows how little the award means.

The bold part of your post had me laughing my ass off for hours !!!!!!!!!! Shot May would always beat a prime Pac...

[CatchAndShoot]

During his prime, easily the greatest fighter of this generation, and a top 10 talent all time. The absolute best version of Manny was against Cotto. Looked like he could've beaten any WW in the history of boxing, if not beat, give anyone hell and then some.
