Has there ever been a fighter who visibly improved before our eyes like Pacquiao?

    Let's be honest — if Pac was black or Mexican, he wouldn't receive 10% of the hate that he does.

    Sergio Martinez seemed to rise to a next level in class late in his career. At least until his body started breaking down and injuries overtook him. He was a late starter in boxing (early 20's?) and peaked much later than usual for a non-heavyweight boxer.

    Good shout. He was okay early on (circa when he fought Margarito) but not a pimple on the ass of the Maravilla he'd become..

    Hahaha....Pac might be the biggest drug cheat in the history of boxing. The dudes head size doubled from age 28 to 34, while he got bigger, faster, stronger and better. He's boxing's version of Barry Bonds.

    don't know where you come from but in America blacks and Mexicans are heavily discriminated against. Much more so than any Asian or Polynesian culture. What is the basis for your claim? Where are you seeing this extreme discrimination against Asian people ?

    He has, but not to the magnitude that Barrera and Pacquiao did. Those guys when they debuted would have been crushed by anybody in the top 10.

    He compared him to an athelete accused of the same thing being discussed, who was hated so much he he was blackballed by the hall of fame, who happens to be black. How does this prove your point in the slightest??

    Hmm... a guy named Motor City declares that Pacquiao in the history of boxing while conveniently not mentioning Mayweather, a guy who used illegal IVs to mask his his PED use.

    It's really just astonishing that these guys will continue to bash on Pacquiao for using drugs when their guy Floyd used a ****ing IV that's designed to conceal drugs. Like come on, for real? How much more blatantly obvious can it get.

    If it quacks like a duck.....
