I'm so happy Pacquiao finally fought someone other than my favourite fighters and won so well! Morales and Oscar are/were by two favourite fighters, and Pacquiao third... (and against Marquez he wasn't convincing) but finally for this fight I got to really cheer for him hard and appreciate his brilliance without feeling like **** as he beat one of my favourites. He is a ****ing machine, a TRUE great fighter who would dominate in every era (when I say dominate, I mean he'd be top 3-4 P4P at the time).
Pacquiao is a great fighter....on hes way to becoming really great. Could you imagine if he beat floyd jr??? Id put him top 20 ALL TIME
Pac-man showed out tonight and is one of the best all time. I just didn't have much belief in his opponent. Hatton in my opinion isn't that good of a boxer. He can punch a little but has never been an awesome puncher. Pacquio is a very hard puncher and the weight addition served him very well against a guy who has little discipline between fights. I'm proud of Pacquio for proving that it's better to stay ready than to get ready. Big props to the Pac-man as he prevails once again.
Pac is at the top of his game right now, no one within his weight reach can beat him right now, no one! That, of course includes Mayweather. Amazing performance, have to give credit when its due, he completely destroyed an elite and proven fighter. Great fighter, amazing person, truly a modern great. Manny Pacquiao is an icon... As boxing fans we should admire such a professional. #1 p4p.
Every fighter in the other weightclasses should thank their lucky stars Pac can't ever fight them. Pac is a p4p great, what a knockout I witnessed. It was worth the money, and I hope the number of buyers was a success, because Pacquiao deserves it. Pacquiao is a vicious fighter, and Roach is just as vicious as he is.
If he beat Floyd convincingly, and maybe beat Marquez again (not necessary but the fans want it), then I'd put him top 15.
If Pac beats Floyd at 140 or 147, it'd have to be the single best win in the sport since Duran-Leonard one for me. No more than a year ago, that fight was looked at as a complete joke and a walkover for Mayweather. All the sudden, nobody's laughing when it's mentioned any more. It's rare to see someone accomplish what Pac has and still feel like you might just now be seeing the best of him, but that's exactly how I feel watching him. Maybe he should've moved up to 140 a little sooner! :good
****in great point the second statement. PAc is only 30! sure he could be battle worn but again maybe hes just built differently. Seems to me hes abosorbing different skills everytime he fights Steward was on the money tonight, Pac is an offensive machine but hes not easy to hit aswell
