    I like all of you am a Pacquiao fan but seriously I do feel although his opponents have large question marks and here is why

    Joshua Clottey - No credit to fight Manny
    Miguel Cotto - Damaged since his fight with Margirito
    Ricky Hatton - Late Career, Damaged since his beat down from Mayweather
    Oscar De La Hoya - Fought at 147 forcing him to drain himself
    David Diaz - Genuine opponent
    Juan Manuel Marquez (2) - Genuine opponent
    Marco Antonio Barrera (2) - No credit for a rematch
    Jorge Solis - Genuine opponent
    Erik Morales (3) - Completely drained
    Oscar Larios - Genuine opponent
    Erik Morales (2) - Weight drained
    Hector Velazquez - B class fighter but a good fighter none the less
    Erik Morales - Genuine opponent
    Fahsan 3K Battery - B class fighter but a good fighter none the less
    Juan Manuel Marquez (1) - Genuine opponent
    Marco Antonio Barrera (1) - Genuine opponent
    Emmanuel Lucero - Genuine opponent

    This is not a hate thread so no hardcore comments but I would just you to pay attention to the top half of the list as this is where Pacquiao has received alot of his credibility when I feel he should have this from the lower section.

    anyway all post your feelings on his opponents this is based on credibility of the opponent not the result. :hi:

    Oh, I get it. All his opponents should be undefeated ATGs at their best age and weight. That's not unreasonable.

    the funny thing is before the pac/clottey fight, clottey was regarded as the toughest and underrated boxer in the WW division, if pac fought him before cotto then people would of laughed thinking pac will get killed

    You must be trolling for reactions, so I'll give ya one.

    Who cares? A lot of boxers resumes look like this (some even worse). Pacquiao at least fought everything put in his way and tried to keep it exciting. The more popularity a boxer gets, the more the promoter tries to create "safer" money generating fights. I didn't want to see him fight Clottey, but it happened anyways.

    Why don't you go make a list of opponents he should have fought? Or list what rank you think Manny is, because that's also a wonderful waste of time similar to the list you produced. It's like you tried to make a list to convince yourself that Pacquiao isn't all he appears to be. You appear to be one of those "haters" that'll construct silly situations and facts to make a fighter (in this case Pacquiao, could be Mayweather, Ortiz, Hopkins, etc, etc).

    The credibility of the opponent fluctuates the most while a fighter's career is active, and is the worst indicator of who a fighter actually is. The best indicators can only be taken into consideration when the fighter has retired. He's taken on what's been put in front of him and that's the best we can ask for. Not this revisionist bull**** you're trying to offer up.

    From your Mayweather thread:

    Jose Luis Castillo (2) - Genuine opponent
    Jose Luis Castillo (1) - Genuine opponent


    Why is a rematch no credit for Pacquiao but a genuine opponent for Mayweather? :lol: I'm finding your little list heavily biased
