    Absolutely agree, and it is beyond criminal that Pacquiao gets criticized for his skillset. I really think that anyone who legitimately questions his skills should have their boxing fan card revoked for life. They should be banned from ever commenting on the sport again. Seriously.

    He is a phenomenally skilled fighter -- a transcendent once in a generation type of talent. You don't accomplish what he has done in the sport with a subpar skillset, lmao. The thought of that is just absurd beyond words.

    Pacquiao's offensive skills in particular are just phenomenal. His footwork is also otherworldly. No he's not a textbook boxing technician, that's obviously not who he is, but his skill/talent is simply amazing, and anyone who says otherwise either has an agenda or they are incompetent when it comes to analyzing the sport of boxing.

      Well for one being Brutally K.O by Marquez(KTFO6) and Being taken to school by Floyd Mayweather among other things, but they also have many similarities like being Shafted by Bob Arum Twice...

        Loma is overrated in his skill and Pac is criminally underrated. And then there's the gulf between them when it comes to guts, willpower, and determination. Loma just doesn't want it. I find it ironic that he talks like he is due all this greatness but he falls way short of proving it.

          If that's how you see things good on you if it makes you happy.
          But I see it as a cherry pick as i think Floyd could take a tougher challenge that people could drool over in 100 years time.
          Beat gg g at 160. Floyd s ceiling shouldn't be a 70 fight former flyweight. But it's still a controversial win

              he waited 5 years, for pac to be in his mid 30's and for pac to take a couple losses including a brutal ko loss before fighting him. how is that not a cherry pick? not that pac ****** but this was clearly not the threat that he was before. he hadn't ko'd anyone in about 6 years and pac still won that fight against floyd as he landed the much cleaner punches as confirmed if you watch the footage but of course you wont believe that. feather jab to the nose is worth more than a punch that rocks your head around of courseee

                Have it your way, cherry pick it is. Not for nothing but Floyd's older than Pac.

                    Actually, Clottey is an underrated fighter. Things you make fun of Clottey is just because of the Pacquiao fight. He never had that bad rep before.

                      People who place all the blame on May can't be trusted as legit fight fans.

                      I'm sure Pac would have fought May (and gotten KTFO) if May didn't push the random blood thing
