Y'all must've forgot about the greatness of Manny Pacquiao

[IronDanHamza]

No one can deny Pacmans greatness.

It’s not possible.

His resume is riddled with Top 5 fighters and Top 10 P4P guys.

The Margarito win was remarkable. Dude outweighed him by 20 lbs. on fight night, and was 6 inches taller.

I said even though he was big...but u can't ignore the fact that he was out of the ring for 2years after getting destroyed by Shane and talking a BS tuneup. Manny basically dug his big ass out the grave to fight.

Mayweather was out for 2 years and then came and beat JMM. “Ring Rust” and “Tune Ups” are nonsense sometimes.

Margarito was in amazing shape for that fight.

Stop making excuses.
A dominant victory is a victory, and an opponent is an opponent. One of Manny’s greatest fights of all time.

MAYweather DUCKED Margarito. That’s a fact.

Why do u keep saying out of the ring for 2 years?

Exactly, He was too wrapped up in his undefeated record (its his primary moneymaker selling point) to care about legacy.

Every true atg and goat candidate is defined by the opponents they fought. Some great fighters are ranked lower jusy because they didnt have the opposition to test them.

Floyd had the opportunity in 09 in the best division in the entire world and instead he retired.

If he didn't retire... if he beat cotto, margarito, mosley, and paul williams when they were still the top ranked fighters in the world... on top of his current resume...

You might just have to call Floyd the goat. He would be up right up there with ali, lennox lewis, sugar ray leonard, robinson.

As it stands now, he's not even above Pacquiao.

surreal how there wasnt advanced drug testing back then

canelo the ped user really got caught..

Why don't we talk about how Margarito was a sensational cherry pick, fighting a guy at 150 for a 154 WBO title who was coming off one fight in what, 2 years following a year long suspension?

Or how Cotto was drained to 145, was coming off a beat down vs Margarito, barely survived Clottey and had Joe Santiago in his corner?

Or how Mosley was a corpse by then who not only was beaten by Mayweather beforehand by was held to a draw by Sergio Mora?

Oh wait, facts hurt.

this was a reasonable cherrypicked of all times if you said so.. top 4 fighters got cherrypicked.. one of them was way better than all floyd's cherrypicked..

Gotta add W over Spence to pac's resume next month.

Spence is gonna get beat up.

many are saying a Pac victory will make him top 3 p4p ever. insanity

Pacquiao's next 4 fights after beating Hatton at 140?

Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley....

In the words of the great Roy Jones Jr., "Y'all must've forgot."

You musta forgot he fought Margs at 151, cotto at 145 and Shane after floyd beat him.

This was also around the time he was getting his tattoos, before needle fear developed.
