By the age of 24, a 3 divisions, 2 lineals, champ at 19, media hype or overrated?

Exactly, it was a ghost town. beating the big names, that were already old, weightdrained, or ran through already doesn't make him the beast that you or any other of his fans claim. Not when fighters like Ward are pounding out dominating wins in weight classes as stacked at 168 over prime elite fighters. Good clarification & even borderline self ownage, thanks alot.




Pacman is an atg, we do not disagree there. But he is overrated by the majority of his fans. He's not top 10, boxers cause him a world of trouble & his welterweight run is nothing short of a joke. But that does not include the great things he has done at 140 & below. Because he has been stellar below 147.

Exactly, well put sir.

Manny is a great fighter

His fights at welterweight against Cotto and solidified it against Clottey are pretty much legit to me. Often forgotten, Pacquaio is a small fighter who moved up facing these highly rated bigger boxers in their own weight division should count for something.
