    thats bull****. Pacquiao gets the MOST credit for beating MAB. thats probably his best win to date actually. He doesn't get that much credit for beating a faded Morales though simply because he lost their first fight against a Morales who was already battle torn, and Morales just came off losing to ****ing Raheem which was proof enough that Morales was shot when they fought a 2nd and 3rd time.

    MAB win is possibly Pacquiao's best and most important win.

    This. And also, while Juanma is getting credit for beating a past his best Marquez, it's not like anybody's putting him up there with the p4p top-3 yet or something is it? Manny has been ranked up there for years, and people are comparing him to the all-time greats. Ofcourse he's gonna be held to a higher standard, that comes with the territory. Duh!

    too many excuses for Morales. It's a massive double standard. You could also say Morales beat a 1-eyed Pacquiao who was just moving up to a new weight for the 2nd time in 14 months.

    Bottom line, Pacquiao won a trilogy in dominant fashion against a great fighter. He deserves alot of credit for those two KO's against Morales.

    Pacquiao > Morales and he proved it in the ring

    This is ridiculous. The Barrera fight is what made Pacquiao a star! What the **** is this bull**** about him not getting any credit for this fight??

    Pac moving up in weight and destroying a prime p4p#3 and crowd-favorite Barrera in San Antonio is the best win on any active fighter's resume right now. If he doesn't get credit for that, then no boxer deserves any credit for anything.

    The first Barrera fight is the one Pacquiao gets universal credit for! Even people who find ways to discredit his wins over Morales, Oscar, Cotto, Hatton etc, tend to give him credit for this one.

    There's a strong argument to be made that it's still his greatest victory.

    I love the double standard here. Raheem gets credit too for beating a Morales who has been in many ring wars himself and who just fought Manny Pacquiao.

    Raheem was way too good of a fighter.

    If at first you don't succeed with your phony Barrera outrage feel free to move on to Morales.
