Emmanual Dapridan Pacquiao: The Case For Being the True Pound 4 Pound King

We all know that Pound 4 Pound titles are based on resume, and not individual wins. If you take a look a Emmanuel Dapridan Pacquiao's recent string of fights, and the performances in them, it's clearly unmatched by any active fighter!

Fought an elite fighter, locked-in HOFer, and future ATG. On top being a stylistic nightmare for Pac, Marquez was suspected of juicing due to significant increase in muscle mass.

Won, but also could have drawn. I had it a draw.

During this time, everyone said that Pacquiao would never be matched up against a young, hungry fighter in his prime. People were also saying that Pacquiao had avoided African American fighters throughout his career.

Handily won, but was robbed.

Once again fought a guy who was a stylistic nightmare for him. Gunned for the KO. And almost got it, but got KO'd himself when he got lazy and greedy at the last second (literally).

By now it was obvious that Marquez was chemically-enhanced for their third and fourth fights. It was all but confirmed when Marquez appeared w/ huge boils and acne all over his chest and back, a clear sign of long term doping.

Coming off of one of the most brutal, one punch KOs in the history of a sport, fought a young guy known for being an iron-chinned, heavy puncher, with a Michael Myers like determination and stamina to match. Pacquiao pitched a complete game shut out.

This is a guy that Marquez refused to fight, citing all risk and no reward.

By now, Bradley was a certified elite talent and acknowledged P4Per. Bradley was also coming off of outboxing Marquez, who himself was coming off one of the greatest KO victories in the history of the sport. Avenged his robbery loss.

Snatched Bradley's 0. Officially, this time.

Fought a young, hungry, in his prime fighter who held a massive height, reach, and size advantage who was coming off of beating Ruslan, a rampaging beast that was clearly ducked by Marquez and to some extent, Rios.

Pitched a 1 hit, complete game and snatched Algieri's 0.

 

Meanwhile, the Other Guy fought Ortiz (looked up the definition of bum and saw his picture next to it), Guerrero, Cotto, and Drainednelo.

Handicapped Maidana and arguably lost their first fight.

Handicapped Maidana again in the rematch and saved himself from a KO loss (round 3) when he had a tooth knocked out of his face. Also heavily aided by the paid off Bayless.

 

By the numbers...

Six fights.

Two zeroes snatched.

Four against certified elite, P4P fighters.

Four against young, prime, hungry fighters.

Two against a guy who's a stylistic nightmare for him, and who was also a rampaging roid freak.

Two against a guy who's impossible to look good against.

One against a classical boxer who held a considerable height and reach advantage.

One against a big punching, iron-chinned, iron-willed Mexican, while coming off of a brutal one punch KO.
