Posted Dec. 7, 2008 at 09:02pm By Michael Rosenthal Manny Pacquiao went into his megafight against Oscar De La Hoya on Saturday night in Las Vegas recognized by most experts as the best Asian fighter of all-time. Now what do we call him? One of the best fighters of his time period? One of the best fighters of all time? Arguably, after what Pacquiao did to De La Hoya, both of the above now apply. Consider: He started his career at 106 pounds, fought at 129 pounds less than a year ago and just beat the biggest draw in boxing and a certain Hall of Famer who has fought as heavy as 160 pounds. Thats Henry Armstrongesque, which is the ultimate compliment in boxing. It might be a reach to compare Pacquiao to a legend who held three world championships simultaneously and is recognized as one of the two or three greatest fighters who ever lived. However, thats how Pacquiaos accomplishments are starting to stack up. Hes beaten four certain Hall of Famers: Erik Morales (two out of three meetings), Juan Manuel Marquez (a victory and a draw), Marco Antonio Barrera (twice) and now this, certainly the greatest feat in a sparkling career even if you believe De La Hoya has declined. And, oh yeah, hes won four world titles in four weight classes spanning 23 pounds. How many fighters in recent years can make such claims? When all is said and done, Pacquiao could be the finest fighter since Sugar Ray Leonard was in his prime. I happen to think that that fighters like Pernell Whitaker and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are boxing virtuosos, television analyst Larry Merchant said. I have the highest respect for that. But when you also have a guy who fights, who is willing to take to risks, to put his nose in there, a guy who thrills people, well, thats a harder way to do it. When somebody does it, its the best boxing has to offer. Read more.....
