Earlier today, a Pacquiao fan tried to argue that Manny is very small and that he gives up a lot of height and reach to compete with the top guys. He says because of this, Manny should be the P4P GOAT. Well, let's look into that:

Manny Pacquiao - 5'6"½ ft, 67" reach
Ricky Hatton - 5'7" ft, 65" reach
Juan Manuel Marquez - 5'6" ft, 67" reach
Brandon Rios - 5'8" ft, 68" reach
Miguel Cotto - 5'8" ft, 67" reach
Timothy Bradley - 5'6" ft, 69" reach
Adrien Broner - 5'6" ft, 69" reach
Keith Thurman - 5'6" ft, 69" reach
Lucas Matthysse - 5'6 ft, 69" reach

Giving up an inch or an inch and half in height, and 1-2 inches in reach does not make you a P4P GOAT.

When he did fight guys with significant height/reach advantages, they were already way passed their prime or simply bums. Oscar was 35 and weight drained, Shane Mosley was 40 years old, Floyd Mayweather was 38, Joshua Clottey was a bum, Jeff Horn was a bum and Antonio Margarito was a bum without his hand wraps.

Manny Pacquiao is so overrated by these dumb casual fans. I can't wait for the day that all pac tards slowly disappear from these boxing forums again.

"Giving up an inch or an inch and half in height, and 1-2 inches in reach does not make you a P4P GOAT."

Of course, not! It is what you do and what you accomplished with what you have that matters...And as for pac, you forgot the speed...but don't get discourage...just be more creative and disciplined when you post..

Have you seen YouTube bids of Pac fighting at 16, 17, 18 and 19 years old?. Skinny, basic looking, work in progress learning on job pac.
Would you predict that little thing would go onto beat thurman? Be oldest WE ever, 4 time WW champ?
Heck no.

Yes, Clottey was a bum.

If he's a bum, I can't define Cotto, Margarito, Judah that looked terrible against him
