    8 weight divisions accross 10 with aorund 20 world champions and multiple ATGs. Loses every fantasy match. Sounds pretty overrated to me..

    I'm a Pacquiao fan yet I have no problem admitting Mayweather is one of the best fighters of the last 40 years and probably close to an ATG.

    Now why is it that Floyd fans can't say the same for Pacquiao, its because they are caught up in some form of psychosis that won't allow them to think logically.

    Yeah I don't know why Pac gets so much hate. He has an amazing resume and was exciting throughout his career. We are watching a living legend and agreat humanitarian.

    I just hope we have a great fight May 2nd... a great night for our sport.

    No.

    On the internet it is possible because the claims I've heard from extremists who worship him are awfully out there; far more than any other current fighter spare for die hard Wladimir and Haye fans.

    he is :deal

    ****s hype him up so much when Pac has no skills whatsoever :deal

    can't cut the ring
    been KO'd several times
    loves fighting leftovers at catchweights :deal
    and a puppet of Bob Arum,

    I wonder why Floyd kept insisting that this hype-job be tested before fighting him? :think

    after all, Pac is a hype-job :rofl

    A flawed fighter, who has overcome those flaws to win belts in multiple divisions and been in some amazing fights that will live in the memory

    His fights in his prime always lived up to expectation, which is rare for a lot of boxers

    A credit to boxing

    You don't have his record and his accomplishments for nothing.

    He's doing SOMETHING right.
