Some of the "highlights" of him missing/grazing punches against Bradley & Marquez are rather embarrassing, borderline own goal. :!: As for conducting a symphony of violence on Margarito's face, well...fair enough he looked sharp but it's Margarito... :yep
Is this where we post Pacquiao highlights? Here is his newest, most recent one: This content is protected This content is protected
Hypetrain? A bad loss at the end of his career doesn't derail an amazing career and legacy. Greatest fighter of this era , history will remember :good
History already sees he isn't the greatest fighter of this era...he got KTFO by a cherry picked LW who is way older than he is. Pac's legacy took a bit of a hit with that KO loss.
I see this thread taking a sharp left turn. (Prepare yourselves) I'll watch the vid when I get home. THx for sharing Gander.
On a serious note, what Manny did during his reign is amazing how many fighters can do what he did, catchweights aside and all there are not many fighters today that can move up like that and fight those guys and win the way he did even at a catch weight.
He's a certified ATG with a multitude of good/great wins, and I think history will ultimately remember him in a very favorable light. At his peak he was simply a fantastic offensive machine. One of my favorite fighters to watch, probably ever.
He is definitely one of the greatest of this era, but I think his legacy has already taken a visible hit from the KO loss. Just look at how Roy has tarnished his legacy. There were people having serious discussions about him being GOAT back in like 2000/2001. Nobody actually thinks Roy is GOAT anymore.
I dont agree with that, I think if anything it just showed you exactly how close Marquez and Pacquiao really are in terms of who they are and what they are about. Sure he was knocked the **** out, but he beat Marquez at least once..... I had him wining the first two and losing the last two obviously... But his career is not going to be defined on that KO loss, its going to be defined on his wins..... and he has some solid wins you cant take that away from him.
