Will we ever see a legendary run like what Pacquiao did from '06-'09 again?

[Chuckguy]

Do we count the fact morales lost to Raheem the fight before, odh was 147, he drew with jmm, cotto was 145?

If so then we’ve seen better runs by a lot of people. If we go with just name value it’s up there. Quality wise it isn’t that significant.

Floyd fans count a greeb weight drained canelo and JMM who went up not one but two weight classes so where do you stand on those??

[daggum]

Prime?

Judah
Corrales
Castillo
Ortiz
Canelo
Maidana
Hatton


fighters younger then Floyd

Pacquiao
Cotto


but but thats not good enough doe!!!!!

also judah? weren't you just bashing morales for losing before pac beat him? at least morales was moving up in weight and fighting a very good slick fighter. judah was fighting a complete B-U-M in his own division! so prime judah couldn't even beat a bum and this is one of floyd's best prime wins? this is mind bobbling it really is. so judah the guy who just embarrassed himself and lost to a bum was relevant but morales who had just beaten pac before losing while moving up in weight wasn't relevant? if judah had moved p to 154 and lost to a good fighter that would make the floyd fight a bit different than losing to a bum don't you think? thats what happened to morales. and you know the spence-brook fight was relevant and brook doesnt hold a candle to morales so you got caught in another hypocrisy wormhole

if you want to see a legendary run look at what leonard did in LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

he beat prime wilfredo benitez who is an ATG fighter and was lineal champ
he went 1-1 with roberto duran who was an ATG FIGHTER
he moved up and beat prime kalule who was the lineal 154 pound champ
he beat prime hearns who was an ATG FIGHTER

hey Ill put hatton, judah, corrales, and a drained canelo up against this anyday! although it took 15 plus years to get that crap lmao

[Chuckguy]

He literally beat 6 HOF in dominate fashion during this time. Morales, Barrera, Marquez, De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto. Do you think we will ever see a crazy run like that again? Thoughts?

When did he dominate JMM? He knocked him on his azz 3 times then after two more rounds went on to get schooled only to be given a draw
ODLH?? Really a retired weight drained shell of himself? A zombie

[daggum]

All of this.

Morales was considered easy pickins when Manny fought him, that's why Morales' upset was so insane.

thats because pac had just destroyed barrera and barrera had just beaten morales. it wasn't considered easy cause morales sucked like floyd fans like to say but because pac had looked so amazing. also that was pacs first fight at 130 but no one mentions that cause who cares about weight right? it only matters if you are grabbing easy belts against lipinets. if you are moving up in weight to fight great fighters meh you should have won anyway. high standards for some...very low standards for others.

Dude Morales had just comes up to 130 the year before and were both small for the weight GTFO with that.

And yes, ATGs get hold to a high standard.

hindsight is a beautiful thing.... before that fight everyone was ****ting on ODLH for fighting a smaller person and making it easy pickings... now "ODLH was shot"....

Gotta love it when people play revisionist history.

barrera and morales were ranked #1 and 2 in 2006. not relevant...makes no sense. then marquez became the new #2 guy behind pac, and pac beat him. but pac had already beaten a better barrera so lets just say top ranked morales and marquez while adding in a win over diaz who was top 3, hatton who was the lineal champ, and a win over "drained" cotto hmm yea ill take that over judah coming off a loss to a bum, a bum named baldomir, and 2 guys moving up in weight. good try larry but floyd can't win everything. there are no judges or refs to help him win my opinion.

Apply the very same reasoning to Mayweather as you do to Manny and then any fool can see what a biased garbage poster you have always been.

Oscar wasn't short he was dead man walking because of the CW, do you ever think of what 154 Oscar would do to Manny, in that fight Oscar would be 20lbs heavier than Manny not 2 pounds lighter do have any idea on what that would mean.

Wtf is wrong with you people.

[Thraxox]

Manny put in work, but i am sorry this is not what makes him great at all HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BEAT THESE PEOPLE

So manny was supposed to beat Dela Hoya-Cotto-Marquez? We all know all those fights where 50-50, stop pretending.

Do you know also fights that we know floyd's gonna win? You know, Judah, Mitchel, Gatti, blown up Marquez, Castillo etc. etc.
