    I'm not a Pac-Man hater before anyone has a hissy fit Im just want to know what you guys think. He definitely is a ATG possibly the greatest fighter of Asian descent ever and a 6 weight titlist. Lets check at his best wins each weight.

    112- 1-1 in title fights very green and suffered two ko loses at the weight. Never defended title successfully

    122- defeated Lehlo Ledwaba for title. Starched a very good fighter. defeated shop-worn former bantam titlist Jorge Julio. Never fought Paulie Ayala(the champ at the time), Israel Vazquez or Oscar Larios(until at 130 undersized and past his best)

    126-stunned the boxing world with a win over Barrera whom is a ATG but wasnt in his prime. drew with Marquez in a great fight and was recognized as lineal ring champion

    130-beat a worn Larios, lost to Morales(every great fighter has one great fight left in them) and stopped the warhorse twice), won a controversial descison to Marquez who IMO won the fight.

    135- the least dangerous titlist at the weight which was stacked with formidible opponents like Casamayor(champ at the time), Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, etc. Not impressive at all

    140-Ricky Hatton was very big win and won the true title at the weight.

    147-ODLH was weight drained waaay past prime and was a human punching bag....not a good win at all

    You can do that to every fighter's resume.

    this guy, Pacquiao, has so many haters. He could beat Cotto, Floyd, and Mosley back to back and the haters would still find excuses.

    It unbelievable.

    yep...but you are taking the whole thread out of context. Its solely my opinion. I stated the good and the bad. Im sorry i cant praise everything he does like some do on here. Im not a biased fan. Mayweather and Pac-Man have been my favorite fighters for years...dont mean they dont have faults....hell Floyd has been pissing me off not fighting Mosley or Cotto yet:fire

    you also have to consider how he beat them. outside of the 2nd fight with JMM he not only beat those fighters, he pretty much beat them easily

    He definitely has an impresive resume and can be considered an ATG. Only a hater would say otherwise.

    So? Answer the question.

    Nothing to do with hate, he's presented a logic opinion & already stated he's an ATG and the best Asian fighter ever. Why not just answer the question?

    I totally agree.. you can do that to mayweather and other ATGs


    mayweather fought an old genaro hernandez and a weight drained corrales
    lost to castillo the first time IMO
    mayweather fought a past prime gatti
    Beat a blown up Hatton, who looked very bad in that weight against collazo
    captured a 154lb title against an over the hill DLH
    Beat a journeyman in carlos baldomir

    you can always find a hole in every fighters resume. its a matter of how you look at things and how you hate or love the fighter.

    The thing about pac, he does it in dramatic fashion, he destroys his opponent.

    He didn't say anyone did. He just asked 'is it as good as it's sometimes made out to be?' So why not just answer the question?
