Pac is a genuine great, but a lot of his career is smoke-n-mirrors
two issues...
1) matchmaking (which includes the weight manipulation)
* lower-level opponents... all those mid-level Top Rank JWW's
* 144... dragging the little guys up, and pulling the big guys down
* many of Pac's top wins were literally at the lowest point in their career
Pac would not have fought them otherwise, like we saw with Mosley
2) steroids
* all been said before, no need to go into details
I think that Pac is a genuine great for his performances below 135, and with Mayweather... which are really the only times we know that he was clean
I don't believe he was using before the Diaz fight, and I honestly thought that Mayweather would blow him out
many will burn Pac's entire career because of the steroid thing, but I still evaluate the fights that we know were real... all of the... "leap 3 divisions in 9 months, increasing speed and power, while DOUBLING his punch output"... fights, are obviously not eligible for consideration
verdict: a genuine great, but nowhere near as high as most seem to think... based on the facts above

you have to evaluate his legacy as a whole
in saying that, there are two distinct chapters in Pac's career
I get what you're saying
also, he definitely was clean for the Mayweather fight... we know that

Fun to watch when he has 2 functioning shoulder bones
I tend to judge a person, in general, on how they behave in the face of adversity -
If you act guilty, I'm going to assume you are.
If you act like you have something to hide, I'm going to discredit you until you stop with the BS.

That's right, compare my record with Pac's to get a feel on how worthy it is
Just show everyone up to this point, all of the great wins Pac was in.
Spending time name calling me won't make his resume any better.
Chatsai Sataskul to win WBC flyweight
TKO Nedal Hussein
TKO Marco Antonio Barrera
TKO Erick Morales
Knocked out Hoya, Hatton, Cotto
And recently beat Keith Thurman.
I didn’t mention his wins over Marquez, Bradley, Margarito, Matthysse, Mosley, Clottey, Jorge Julio because the ones above impressed me the most.
That speed, power, strength is what makes Manny so great.
Why are you taking the time to discredit a legend that makes our beloved sport great?
Do you not consider boxing great?

I exclude those wins because of the weight manipulation, timing, steroids
mainly the steroids
even Marquez would have beaten 145lb Hoya, 145lb Cotto, and 140lb Hatton... those guys were at the lowest point in their career
their careers had never been at a lower point before/after Pac fought them
like I said earlier, Pacquiao is great for what he achieved below 135, and for performing so well against Mayweather... but he is nowhere near as great as most fans think due to the phenomenal matchmaking by Bruce Trampler and Brad Goodman, and the supplements from Ariza
there has always been smoke-n-mirrors in boxing
