Manny Pacquaio overrated?

What a mad post. I remember on here many many years ago when people would put up posts about manny, hypothetically asking whether he could beat the likes of Ricky Hatton. People would take the **** out of the poster for even asking such an absurd question. Hatton was too big, too strong and would basically steam roll Manny.

Then when the idea of the cotto fight got floated around, people laughed even more.

Manny is a certified ATG. I think the bar has been lowered by a lot of the fighters from this passing generation, so how any fans today can look at a guy like manny and ask whether he is over rated, it’s beyond me. He paid his dues big time, and then you’ve got Terrence Crawford lauded as a god by today’s fans with a resume that doesn’t even come close to Mannys or Floyd’s.

 

There’s no confusion here. Why not fight at the 147 pound limit? If Paquiao wants to come in at 141 that has no bearing on his opponent coming in at the full divisional limit of 147 yet in the Cotto fight for example 145 was the limit. The issue is Pacquiao despite there being 18 divisions which btw is way too many wasn’t willing to let his opponent fight at the actual divisional limit. It absolutely cheapened the sport and puts an asterisk by those fights.

 

He fought Cotto at a weight restriction of 145……

 

Pac weight drained those opponents that’s why.

The Dehydration of those fighters was why they had China glass chin against Pac.

pac knew the formula.

 

So why aren’t you complaining about Mayweather, Hopkins, Canelo, and Sugar Ray Leonard doing the same thing as well? Are you saying that those guys have cheapened the sport and should have asterisks on their fights as well?

 

Rico will never call Manny a glass chin no matter how much he wants to..
