Do any of you realize what a Pacquiao win will do for boxing?

lets just hope theres no controversy

 

yeah but floyd still wouldnt be a heavy under dog....

manny was the underdog and proved he can win and be the underdog.... so now everyone has fallen in love...

i mean i'm not making some excuse or some **** ... im just saying

 

A pacquiao win would make it almost impossible to see Arum agreeing to a Mayweather fight thats what it would do to boxing...
Cotto could care less about money, he is all about being the best, so a cotto win is likely going to bring us a Mayweather fight.

 

TOP 10!!! WTF?? PAC ain't in the top 10 for what he's done in this sport. That kind of ranking is deserving of the greats like Ray Robinson, Armstrong, Peps and others with amazing careers and winning streaks. But for what PAC has done thus far he's definitley in the top 20.....I'd say around 28-29 in my opinion.

With the "FACT" that he should have lost to JMM?? Lol.......Naw....PAC should have 2-0 aganst JMM not 1-0-1. THe first fight PAC won, but a draw was a gift given the fact that one of the judges ****ed upon scoring which was acknowledged and the 2nd fight it was close but the right man won. PAC did more damage and had the KD.....he also wasn't credited with anther KD that would have even more solidified him as the winner. JMM i lucky he has even a draw against his nemisis.

PAC has been Lineal champ in 4 divisinos out of 6.....not bad at all. PAC doens't clear out the divisions bc he's constantly looking for challenges and those challenges are presented by facing guys who are much larger than him.

 

Why does Floyd Jr deserve to be called ATG at this point and Pac still needs a Cotto victory to be a "bonafide" ATG?
Take a look at their résumés and tell me their biggest wins.
All-time greatness is what you do in the ring, not the product of what goes on in some nut's head fantasizing about how his idol thrashes this and that fighter and so eliminates the need for their idol to face such fighters. And we still are not talking about the weight-class spanning. Don't take this ATG label lightly, it's not some badge you can just put on your favorite fighter because you want so, and deny on another for reasons only you know.

Well, aside from the Marquez close victory Pacquiao lost to Morales. But I wonder why anyone would "struggle to give him much more than respect for his achievements" because of a close victory, or a loss for that matter?

Mayweather had a controversial win over Castillo. Many actually thought he lost that one and got a gift. Do you also struggle to give Floyd much more than respect for his achievements?

Very rarely been lineal at any weight? You mean twice or thrice is rare for you?

 

I absolutely respect him. He outshines Pretty Boy and is such a blessing to this sport. Pac deserves all the attention and should be an example to up and comers to give everything in the ring to deserve the accolades and attention outside of it.

 

Unlike Pacquaio - Mayweather Jr gave a rematch and dominated the guy the second time they fought, rather than take a very controversial decision second time up and then do his best to avoid.

 

this one:deal
and same thing to Cotto. He deserves all the credit for fighting absolute challenges.

 

regardless of what happens in this fight pbf will make either manny or cotto look like **** and this is coming from a pbf hater. a pac win really doesn't mean **** all in the grand scheme of boxing. beating a guy who has already had his O removed twice imho both margo and shane. shane won that fight in my eyes at least. maybe margo's gloves were loaded we will never know. and props to cotto for lasting as long as he did if they were. in any case i hope cotto cuts manny in half sat night.

 

i agree, except for the fact that if pac DOES win he's probably just gonna retire to focus on his singing career and run for office in the phillippines.

 

i don't think that pac avoids a third fight with jmm. pac was lured to fight bigger names at the higher weights (not referring to ddiaz w/c is obviously a tune-up). don't worry, we still might see their rubber match should pac lose this coming saturday.
