    Great point. Add Floyd Mayweather, Timothy Bradley, Ugas etc to that list but I get your point. Like I said Pacquiao was great and a phenomenal fighter.

    Exactly I've already conceded that Pac isn't the greatest modern fighter. If for nothing else he didnt beat Leonard, that was Duran. But come on now. What other Flyweight runs right through Cotto and MAB?

    Pacquiao/Bradley was a robbery and Ugas beat an ancient Pacquiao 8-4. You always seem to bring uo nonsensical points to diminish Pacquiao in one way or another

    Calling him a phenomenal fighter is diminishing him is it. You obviously don’t know what the word means. Again Pacquiao is fantastic just not unbeatable. HARD FACTS!!! Please note it possible to love Floyd, Marquez and Pacquiao. Loving one does not mean hating the others.

    No underrating or overrating of Pacquiao by me, his many boxing achievements speak for themselves.

    Pac is the greatest boxer since Duran.
    He is definitly not underrated and his legend will grow as time goes by.

    Underrated is more for a guy like Oscar.
    Or even Bhop gets slightly underrated nowadays imo.

    Yet you bring up Ugas and Bradly, even though its clear Pacquiao was middle aged for one and robbed in the other

    So what they are on his record and facts. He beat Thurman at a particular old age impressively in my opinion. Age was was not why he lost to Ugas it was stylistically. Floyd was 36 when he schooled Canelo who was 23. I personally don’t think he was robbed against Bradley.

    Yea and Leonard's best win is Hearns. So SRL has the better single win. But Pacqiuaos resume is deeper than Leonards.

    After Benitez, Hearns, Duran his resume drops off really fast. Hagler was on his last legs when SRL fought him and SRL did that on purpose.
