This thread is no more unoriginal than all of the "Floyd is a Chicken" threads.... Let's see how many people who complain about this thread are on any of those....:huh
Pac's resume is WAY overrated. Pac is overrated. He is in some peopl's top 20 and some morons have him in the top 10. Hell, Oscar De La Hoya has a better resume than Pac, and I don't even rate Oscar in the top 30.
Pacquiao is overly loved by the mainstream ESPN media, the people that don't know boxing real well. The win over Marco Antonio Barrera was his best win to date, but he hasn't done much since that would overly compare to that win. His wins were against a lot of over the hill competition(Erik Morales 2 and 3) and weakest link belt holders(David Diaz). He didn't fight Zahir Raheem instead of Erik Morales even though Raheem had won the 'tune-up', and he didn't fight Nate Campbell. Now he has had a great career, but if we want to punch holes in Mayweather's record, then we should hold Pacquiao to the same standards and in those regards he cracks out just as bad as Mayweather supposedly does.
Its a bait!!!! if someone bites and says that hes wrong he will pull his usual copy paste post taken from boxrec comparing Pac and DLH's resume's. Thats all this maricon does.
Pacquaio's fought Barrera, Morales, Hatton, Marquez, De La Hoya and Cotto (amongst others) and you're moaning about him not fighting.....Nate Campbell!
I ain't criticizing you but lets be real here. Pac knocked out Sasakul the lineal champ at 112 who although he was unknown, he was a damn good fighter who beat the man who beat the man. Pac then moved up 3 division in one shot (112 to 122) and wrecked havoc like no other, knocking out every one of his opponents except Sanchez cause that was a draw due to a headbutt. When Pac fought for the IBF title against a boxer in Ledwaba he won every round and knocked him out in the 6th even though he was a replacement with only 2 weeks notice. Eventually Pac moved up in weight again and in his first fight at 126 he fought a bigger, 29 year old, prime ATG Barrera, who was in the best win streak of his career. Pac completely destroyed him from start to finish. Barrera was very succesful even after that loss. Right after that in only his second fight at 126 he fought a prime Marquez, probably the most avoided fighter at that time. He knocked him down 3 times in 1 round and then went on to give JMM a hell of a fight over the next 11 (don't believe the hype of people who think Marquez was handling Pacquiao esaily, its not true). The fight was a draw but one of the judges admitted that he made a mistake in his score and that Pac should have won. After one last stay busy fight at 126, he moved up in weight AGAIN and in his first fight at 130 he fights a bigger, prime, 29 year old champion, ATG Erik Morales. He gets cut from a headbutt right above the eye early in the fight and fights most of the fight with blood flowing from the cut. He lost the fight 115-113 so it was a clear loss but still a really close fight. After a tuneup Pac fights Morales at 130 again and knocks him out in the 10th round. Pac is the only fighter to ever knock out or even knock out Morales. Then he fights Oscar Larios who was moving up in weight and he takes him to school over 12 rounds, shutting him out and even making him hit the deck twice. Then he fights a rubbermatch with Morales and closes the book on that rivalry, completely destroying Morales in 3 rounds. Then he beats Barrera easily at 130 in a rematch just a few months after Barrera gave JMM a tought fight and even knocked him down. Then he rematches JMM and decides to box with a master boxer who looked like he was in even better shape than the first time and had like a 14 week training camp. Pac wins a close fight and JMM goes on to knock out two of the three best lightweights in the world before challenging Floyd all the way up at 147 and lasting the distance. After Pac beats JMM he moves up in weight AGAIN to challenge a weak title holder David Diaz in his first fight at that weight. David Diaz was not a good champion but he did knock out Jose Armando Santa Cruz who beat Casamayor and also Diaz was good enough to beat a faded Morales. Pacquiao won every second of every round against Diaz sometimes throwing 4-5 right hands in a row and brutal knockout in the 9th. Then Pac after only 1 fight at 135 moves up another 2 divisions to fight Oscar at 147 who had to move down from 150 after shutting out Steve Forbes at a catchweight. Pac is a major underdog in this fight because he is basically moving up from 130 to 135 to 147 in 9 months while Oscar was at 154 then 150 then 147 in 1 year. Pacquiao again wins every second of every round and makes the bigger Oscar quit. Then Pac doesn't even take a tuneup fight after Oscar, he moves back down to 140 to fight the lineal champion who is coming off the 2nd lbest win of his career, a domination and knockout of Paulie Malignaggi at 140. Pacquiao eats Hatton for breakfast taking him to school from the opening bell and then scoring the KO of the decade in the second round. Then Pac once again doesn't even take a tuneup he moves back up in weight again to fight the #2 WW in the World at a catchweight of 145. Cotto in his last fight weighed in at 146 while Pacquiao in his last fight weighed in at 138. Pac has a hard time figuring Cotto out in the first round but then in the 2nd round he is already outboxing Cotto and dominating him. In the third and 4th round he knocks Cotto down despite letting Cotto hit him with his best shots and after that he dominates the rest of the fight. That right there is not only an amazing resume but basically shits on any other resume of any other active fighter.
hasnt this been done about once a week for the past few years??? Why cant we talk anything lately other than Pac or PBF??? IM getting sick of everyday coming here and seeing just PAc and PBF threads. We have plenty of other boxing things to talk about....
lol, youre criticizing somebody's achievement and you cant accept criticism on your opinion? oh well......
if he thinks cotto had nothing, do you think he fight cotto for 70% 30% i don't think so, he will out punch shane but not cotto i been around boxing since liston vs ali and when your around that long you will know what style can beat boxers style unless you have hollow brain like mayweather i am mainstream fans i just don't watch them fight i study their style and heart, floyd style and heart will not beat pacquiao style he will not even beat cottos style , cotto out punch mosley almost every round, so floyd will beat mosley hands down, but mosley can beat pacquiao because of his style,margarito and pacquiao have the same style, they are warrior with no defense.:!::!:
pacquiao beat hall of fame boxers not one not two not three not even four, bert sugar, and emmanuel steward put pacquiao up in the top five all time greats, floyd also made it but not up there instead down the shytter
