Brah, you trying too hard to hate. Pacquiao was the underdog against, Barrera, Marquez, Mosley, ODLH, and Cotto. After winning, all the excuses flew.35 fights in and nothing but farmers and food vendors
MAB was post prime the FIRST time they fought (60 fights in)
Erik was post prime the FIRST time they fought (49 fights in)
JMM.....FINALLY !!!! Went LIFE and DEATH !!!!
Wouldn't go near Cotto without a clause
Hatton was a bum when May clobbered him.
Mosley
Clottey
Margarito
DHL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOH with that fanboy shlt
But thanks for proving my point
Barrera went on following the Pac loss to win 10 more fights including 6 in a row following Pac loss. FOH with past prime.
Erik won probably 3 of the first 6 rounds in the rematch before he couldn't keep up with it and the punishment took it's toll.
JMM, what's the problem with life and death? So did everyone else that didn't have him come up in weight for the fight.
Hatton was a bum when May beat him? Right, only because that happened. Nevermind that Hatton was undefeated at 140lbs, nearly got KO'd at 147lbs by Collazo and then fought Mayweather at147lbs AGAIN where he was ineffective. He goes back down to HIS weight class of 140lbs where he was undefeated and got iced in 2 rds.
You put LOLs after the likes of Margarito and Clottey, yet they were difficult opponents for everyone they fought. Mayweather was scared straight of Margarito when Margarito and team was calling for the fight, in fact retired in that moment. Clottey was a tough style for everyone and Pac won every round.
Cotto was still at WW when they fought. I highly doubt the 1lb made a difference when again, Cotto looked sharp, strong and probably won the first two rds before the knockdowns and ultimately turning of the tide.
Sorry but you need to hate harder. In fact, if you can't like Pac, I'm not sure how you could even watch boxing. He's been a great ambassador of the sport. Humble as f**k. Gives the people their money when you watch him fight, and took on challenges over and over that you didn't think he would win. Seriously, why even watch boxing if you can't appreciate that?Comment

It is funny because if you saw Manny vs Barrera and Manny right before he fought Barrera, you would have never thought he could compete at a technical level with Barrera. He had just fought that awkward Mexican dude who was practically crouched the entire fight and Pac blew him away in like the 3rd rd but didn't look super special there. Just the Mexican dude looked terrible with that style. Then he goes on to fight Barrera and his performance was master class. I saw a decent amount of right hooks in that fight but obviously his bread and butter was the straight left.
It's not like he never had the right hook, he just never utilized it as much or threw it with the conviction he did moreso after seriously focusing on it. His opponents were so fixated on his straight left since it put so many of his opponents on their ass, that they forgot he can throw a right hook. Now with adding power to it, it became equally as dangerous. Morales was probably the first to know in the 3rd fight. Some serious right hooks staggered him bad. Hatton got dropped with the right hook in 1st rd.
Still, his straight left when he was at 126lbs was one of the fastest straight punches I'd seen.Comment

He developed that hook under Roach. Freddie improved Pac's balance especially when he used to throw his left and fall forward at times. Once his balances was tweaked that right hook flowed easier. He has a tricky counter hook when jabbed from the conventional side.Comment
