No announcement yet.
Will we ever see a legendary run like what Pacquiao did from '06-'09 again?

everyone of those wins has a *next to them
Barrera and Morales in 2006 were not even relevent
Cotto-145 even roach admitted to draining the guy
Oscar-was a dead man walking
So how can you give him credit and discredit Floyd?

Morales was on a 4 fight losing streak
Oscar was a damn Zombie coming off of a loss and a broken eye socket
you dont have to post crap to make an ATG look great..those fights didnt make him great
Morales was considered easy pickins when Manny fought him, that's why Morales' upset was so insane.

His run of ODLH, Hatton, and Cotto is the reason there is actually real ped testing for most top fights now.
What would people think if Santa Cruz moved up to welterweight and beat Thurman, DSG, and Porter and then Spence or Crawford agreed to fight Santa Cruz if they both underwent VADA testing, and Santa Cruz refused? What if Santa Cruz beat three top fighters at 140 or 147 all by ko, and then after being accused of peds didn't knock out another opponent for 10 years?
You can't tell me, if some cat at 126 or 130 suddenly jumped to ww and won by ko over top opponents and then refused real ped testing, and then didn't ko anyone else for 10 years that EVERYONE wouldn't agree that he was on peds. Without a doubt. And imagine if Santa Cruz gave 5 different reasons he wouldn't, such as being afraid of needles. The only reason Manny gets a pass from many is because of peoples deep hatred of Floyd Mayweather. If anyone did the same thing today everyone and I mean everyone would agree the guy was on something illegal.
Manny's run was still impressive. Just like winning five Tour de France titles is and hitting over 70 home runs in a season. Very impressive, but needs to be put in the proper context.
