    Pacquiao never schooled Morales. He broke down and old man who was smaller. Even then the second fight competitive, and the third fight honestly should never have even happened.

    Agreed. I thought he did well in the first Rosario fight too, Edwin didn't like Ramirez's style IMO. Ramirez was one of the guys who confirmed you as elite if you beat him.

    He can counterpunch, but he's not a consistent counterpuncher like Marquez, Whitaker doesn't look to counterpunch, you have to do it consistently to beat Pacquiao like Mayweather or Marquez
    He can pin opponents down and and land combos body and head, watch Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz, that was a 1 sided beatdown against a great former champion

    As far as head-to-head prowess at their very best, Pernell is grouped in the absolute top tier.

    Manny isn't. And it would show.

    Pacquio is 2-1-1 against marquez, 2-1 against morales and 1-0 against floyd if not for the robbery. They were also drug cheater especially Floyd. Remember, Floyd masked his PED via Illegal IV in Pacquiao fight needless to say that he had abnormal T/E ratio multiple times

    1-0 against pbf? Do you just like to make stuff up to make you feel better? Pbf beat pac easily he's a better and more complete boxer always has been. Btw dummy pbf was cleared he didn't fail anything excuse maker.

    Pac never beat a prime erik Morales in fact he lost to a faded erik Morales. Lol!

    Pac never beat jmm clearly and got put into a coma and was ko victim of the year for his efforts.

    Like I said pac is very beatable and is starting to get overrated his best win is probably an overrated mab or perhaps jmm that's it.

    Definitely. I just think the Ramirez result is too easy to boxrec. You have to watch the fight understand what Ramirez had to go through to win.

    A faded Pbf neutralized pac easily in fact he outworked and outlanded pac and he's as slick as they come.. Now pea whitaker who arguably is more slippery than pbf with a better workrate who beat a atg pressure fighter in jcc has shown that he loves pressure. What good is a big left hand when it won't land? Pac is not hard to hit and he can be outboxed which pea is a master at doing. You're whole reason for picking pac is banking on him landing his straight left and stopping a atg defensive fighter. I don't see that happening. A prime pea was never stopped or beaten. A prime pac was koed outboxed and beaten by lesser fighters than pea. Pac has a problem with skilled boxers with high ring iqs and pea is as skilled and as smart as they come.

    He didn't show any improvements in 4 fights with jmm. He never figured out how nor to get hit by jmms right hand.

    When Morales got beat down by Manny, the Script suddenly changed... Morales was no longer in his prime. Morales himself did not give that as an excuse. If you try to look at on their first fight it was so competitive that the winner can go either way. It was a fight that you can objectively say that there was a clear winner.

    Didn't Marquez suffered the most knockdown in his entire boxing career against Manny on their first meeting and one of the judges acknowledged the he missed to give a point to Pacquiao becauase of the knock down? Pacquiao was the clear winner in that fight but the judges changed the result lucky to those who was always favored by the judges like Canelo and Mayweather to name a few.
    On their 4th fight Marquez was about to go down as he suffered the most beat down in his boxing career if was it not for his PED. He became a one punch knocked out artist. Marquez had not been well known as a one punch knock out artist.

    Floyd beat Pacquiao in the judges score card but he was technically beaten by Pacquiao in the fight. Don't you wonder only Floyd fan boy and american journalists claim that Floyd won against Pacquiao? Dude broaden your horizon outside USA in the eyes of the majority of boxing community Pacquiao won against Floyd.
    Floyd did not beat Pac easily he fought the most cautious fight of his entire boxing career. He was so afraid to engage that was the phrase "why are you fighting scared" has been alive up to this day. He made more than 25 hugs and run like a coward.

    Lmfao a faded Morales beat a prime pac. He then went up to 135 and lost to a very average Raheem he looked shot in that loss. He rematched pac and lost. That was not a prime erik Morales period end of discussion.

    Jmm dropped pac in that 4th fight earlier before putting him in a coma. Jmm never failed a drug test he beat pac fair and square.

    Lastly I dont give a **** about some country like Spain who can't even produce a decent boxer opinion they don't know **** about boxing. I watched the fight so did many others and it wasn't close it was an easy pbf win he out-worked and outlanded pac, pac can't name 7 rounds he won in that fight. You're pathetic so I guess pac is 1-0 against pbf in Spain, I mean you can't make this stuff up. Stop casual!
