    We've put Manny Pacquiao on a pedestal since about what, '07, '08 now? Called him one of the ATGs, lauded his bull**** accomplishments - which meant nothing, btw - he beat a bunch of nobodies. This guy is the most overrated fighter of all time, hands down. The only reason he has had any success is because of careful matchmaking. I mean, come on...Hatton? Cotto? Margarito? Pfffft. All mediocre fighters. I don't know what we were thinking heaping all that praise on Pacquiao...

    ...he is terrible. All he has is speed. Nothing else. No footwork, no balance, no accuracy, no ring IQ...he thrives on utilizing his speed against fossils and talent-less fighters. I mean, even Hatton was beating his ass by a country mile before he landed that lucky-ass punch. Manny Pacquiao. Terrible fighter, not even worthy of the top 100 atg list...good thing JMM was able to bring us to this epiphany.

    Bit harsh and Cotto, Hatton and margarito are all better than mediocre fighters and manny is 100% top 100 tag but top 50 may be pushing it

    He's an ATG in terms of accomplishment, but like you; I've never rated him in terms of fundamentals.

    Im not sure peeps are catching the sarcasm, but I'll play. Pac is a one dimensional midget who was lucky beating up on men way bigger than him.

    I know! Pacquiao didn't come forward ONCE for that entire fight! Those entire...five minutes and fifty-eight seconds, or so.

    Jake Lamotta and Rocky Marciano even had less of these without the speed but I bet they make the top 100 atg list.

    Pac's good just not GOAT as many people seem to think. I'd still say he is an ATG.

    He's being sarcastic, but you're wrong about this. Then again you've probably based your opinions of LaMotta off of Raging Bull and have Marciano confused with Balboa, so it's no wonder.

    He's also the dirtiest fighter out there, with all those intentional headbutts and low blows
