Im all about facts...no smoke or mirrors
Since 2009 Manny Pacquiao's overall competition has been decent to underwhelming
After beat a post beatdown Cotto in 2009 Manny beat/fought
1)Clottey, who was ranked but just lost to Cotto
2)Mosley was still ranked at the time but was coming off a draw at 154, a dominating loss to Mayweather and hadnt won a fight at 147 in years
3)Marquez in fights 3 and 4 was not ranked at ww and IMO marquez deserved to win that 3rd fight
4) Bradley was not ranked in the first fight at 147, but was in the second fight after beat Marquez
5)Rios unranked
6) Algieri unranked
7)Antonio Margarito was unranked at 154, fought for a title at a catchweight in a weight class neither were ranked
my talley of fights with ranked to unranked at the time he fought them is 3-6
thats pretty mediocre considering his status as a p4p fighter and a "world champion" and he has held a title most of the time at ww from '09-'14
simply put.....I love boxing and am a big Manny Pacquaio fan but if he doesnt start fighting guys who are at least ranked in his weight class when he fights them, id rather he retire. Why fight no-names anf you are a global icon and all time great.
