Yes, Pac has been underdog but then goes onto obliterate the opponent what does that tell you? It tells you he's better than you thought he was so give him the credit and apologise for underating him in first place, rather than make excuses.
Thurman had all advantages and Pac s closer to 41 than 40 and thurman was unbeaten. What tougher challenge did Floyd take?

Who said the Thurman win wasn't impressive. I thought he would lose. However it's not lost on me the timing of the fight. We know Manny chose him because of how he looked against Josesito. Manny never even utter his name before his layoff.
Look at Manny's last ten fights (Rios, Bradley, Algieri, Floyd, Bradley again, Vargas, Horn, Matthyse, Broner and Thurman). How many of those fight would Floyd even entertain?

Years in the future ppl will remember Pac for being champ in 8 weight classes and how a dynamo of a fighter he was.
Then then they will look at how he got beat by Floyd and put to sleep by Marquez. While looking at Floyd they will notice that he was undefeated.
Unless you lived in the era you won't appreciate things as much unless they are noteworthy.

Yeah ok then guerrero , ortiz , Berto , McGregor and that market stall owner Japanese guy with funny hair.
Pacquaio has beaten fighters just as good as mayweather....in fact if you add Barrera and moralez.
Cotto , de la Hoya , Hatton are both , then add Thurman at over 40 then he eclipses floyds in terms of resume.

Plus pacquaio had to deal with corrupt NSAC officiating and dodgy Floyd TUE bust at his home night before the fight.
