    Would you have believed that Manny Pacquiao would add these names to the list of boxers he beat up?

    De la Hoya
    Hatton
    Cotto
    Margarito
    Mosley

    Not bad for a fighter who started out in extreme poverty, terrible nutrition and training, and fought his first fight at 106 lbs.

    What he has accomplished these past few years is unprecedented and only the haters won't appreciate it.

    I believe he would have beat everyone except Mosley and De La Hoya.

    Even the worst of *****s like Bladegunner above certainly would never have thought that Pac can achieve what he just did (brutalized these boxers, and be a genuine threat to their Goddess), regardless of the fighters history before they faced Pac.
    Absolutely nobody thought Pac will brutalize the likes of Margarito on a 150 cathchweight regardless of what Margo's career would've turned out to be, hardcore *****s included.
    Don't even get me started with the whole "ODLH's jab will KO Pacquaio" consensus of old.

    Which is why none of these nuthuggers will answer your question with a direct answer. (See post above of Blade as an example)

    I was a big fan of Pac and I really thought going above 135 is a stupid stupid move.
    Boy was I proven dead wrong.

    I also see the pattern that MAYWEATHER RETIRES or is on VACATION everytime there is a big name is ready to fight him...

    Way back 2008 Cotto, Margarito and probably Paul Williams was available but MAYWEATHER opted to retire..

    Then came pacquio, he opted to fight Marquez for the so called tune up fight! More than a year after he opted to retire :nut... then what do we hear from his dad?! Mayweather is getting old and needs a tune up ?! (what?! the so called midget, one dimensional boxer and Mayweather jr needs a tune up (again?!) :hey:tired

    Anyone who believed that would be told they were crazy, as PacDBest was by everyone. I thought De La Hoya was going to give him a bad beating. Even through the first few rounds I was telling my friends De La Hoya was just carrying Pac so the fans could feel they got their moneys worth, I could not believe what I was seeing.

    Man, nobody did. It was laughed off five years ago when people were hearing he might move up eventually. I mean, ****, there were even plenty of threads here just prior to the Mosley fight, giving Mosley a real chance. People still don't believe he can keep doing it.

    Now he's apparently "on the slide" and "losing his legs", so loads are gonna think Marquez has his number too.

    forget 5 years ago, just go back 3 years ago and you would be branded as delusional if you say pac would fight those welters never mind beat them.
