Is Pacquiao Approaching Legendary Status? Comparison to Leonard.

You posted it here and posed the question. You wanted a response. Now you're getting it. Deal with it.

 

If your claiming that I am bullshiting, then obviously you believe in the article and should willingly defend it.

Just your posting it makes the inference that you support its premise, being that its not from a source thats known for its jounalistic integrity.

 

:yep

Im a Pacfan but i stopped reading after Roy Jones Jr. and Tyson being not a legend.

 

of course i am. just like how you are off topic when you drop your "i predicted donaire to win against Darchinyan" **** everytime you get pushed to a corner. all's fair pacd.

 

this stuff is getting close the being as dumb as the guy that once Posted here that Sven Ottke was a greater fighter then Ray Robinson.:roll:

 

Bias articles like this is what keep me away from Pacland, even though i respect Pac's talent's immensely.

 

Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Roy Jones Jnr, Evander Holyfield I could add to that list are our current crop of Active ATG's wether they become Legends is yet to be seen, Legends develop over time, Legends are guys who get talked about like Ali, Leonard, Frazier, Hearns etc etc throught generations they make us want to watch them fight even now. In 10-15 years time we'll no if Pacquiao, Hopkins, toney and company will become legends but at the moment they are ATG fighters. Top 10, Top25, Top 50 doesnt matter those guys will be and are ATG's fighters legends not quite yet.

Just my opinon now cut me to shreds for having one like everyone does on here tear everyone elses opinions up!

 

The article is not credible. Roy Jones, Jr., although having fought lesser competition on a WHOLE compared to Pacquiao, has enough marquee wins to at least match him (Toney, Hopkins, Tarver I, Ruiz at heavy). And besides Tarver I, the other names were all dominated by average margins of 10 rounds to 2.

Pacquiao has fought everyone under the sun from 122-130 except for Guzman and Valero, but his body of work speaks for itself. His marquee wins involve a mix of both KO's and dominant decisions as well. However, Pacquiao, unlike Jones, was never undisputed #1 pound-for-pound in the world.

If Pacquiao is a legend, so is Roy Jones and Mike Tyson.

And Pacquiao must dominate 135 to even warrant mentioning him in the same arena as Sugar Ray Leonard, who is easily Top 10 ALL-TIME.

 

he's probably on his way...too early to talk about it, he might face a road bump anytime soon...and tyson and roy was very much underrated in that article

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Actually, the article is very objective and very well written. I disagree with Tyson & RJJ not being legends though, by the authors criteria they may not be, but by his criteria his argument is backed up very well...on the other hand I think some of those criterias are BS though.

 

I understand your argument. Roy Jones is a better boxer and more taleneted and skilled, overall. However, what the author states is kind of true when it comes to legendary status as a boxer for years to come. You should read the rest of the article at least before fully dismissing it. I have to kind of agree with him, even though I think Roy Jones, PBf, Sweet Pea, et al. are greater overall boxers.
