Manny Pacquiao...is the resume really as great as its made out to be???

:good

 

MAB was p4p #3, FW champion, coming off a streak of wins including Morales...straight after loosing to Pac he comes back to beat Morales even more convincingly and becomes teh SFW champ, and goes on to beat other names. How anyone can compare this man to the Tyson that fought Lewis is beyond me. Any excuses...

Hatton was undefeated at 140lb, only ever lost to PBF...yep, surely comparable to Tyson.

Dela hoya was past it...yet every single one of you picked him to starch Pac? Suddenly after your proven wrong, no credit?

Morales previously just beat the current p4p #1, in the same year...must be so so past it.

 

Manny Pacquiao's resume is vastly overrated.

I've been following boxing for nearly for the better half of my life, and I remember a time when fighters wouldn't get too much credit fior beating old, shot, or past prime fighters.

Perfect example is:

Camacho vs Leonard
Trinidad vs Camacho
De La Hoya vs Chavez

We never gave these fighters as much credit for those wins than what Pac gets for his wins vs Barrera and Morales.

When Trinidad beat Camacho, Camacho had been fighting for TWELVE YEARS! That's alot of ring wear.

When Oscar beat Chavez, Chavez had been fighting for TWEKVE years too!

Now for good reasons, Tito and DLH only got very little credit for these wins.

But when Pac beat DLH, DLH had been pro for SIXTEEN YEARS!
Barrera had been pro for FOURTEEN and EIGHTEEN YEARS!!!
Morales had been through many wars in his 12 YEAR career by the time he fought and kicked Pac's ass! It wasn't untill Morales' 13th year that he lost to Pac.

So Pac's legacy most consists of beating fighters at the twilight of their long careers.

That is what I call, great managing and marketing, but not great legacy.

Beating old fighters is fine, but when people (*******s) start ranking Pac Top 20, 15, 101 and even #1 ATG for beating old fighters, it is just plain ridiculous and pathetic.

 

:good:good:good:good great post

 

Isn't that why Pac is #1 and Floyd is #2? lol

 

****ing relax Cheese lips, the man is telling the truth, north of 130 Pacs resume looks good on paper but when you talk "Real Boxing" and speak "The Truth" you realize that he has had a good management team to match him with the right fights under the right circumstances...
That is not a hate thing its a reality thing

 

Floyd vacated his spot when he retired its not like Pacquiao took the ranking from him in the ring....

 

No, but I think he's a great fighter nonetheless.

 

Because he never wanted to fight any of the great welters in his division. Pacquiao is now taking care of that for him. Hence, Pacquiao #1 Mayweather #2

 

Gotta admit though... Pac fighting COTTO... WOW! He has Balls... Cant say the same about Mayweather...

 

ODLH is not the best at WW. Cotto and Pac haven't fought. You can't be #1 based on future fights that haven't occured. :good

 

Post #63.

End thread.

 

co-sign!!!

 

Lol at the bitter ***** UliUli. :rofl

Imagine when a fighter just rubs you the wrong way. Then he's supposed to fight your favorite fighter of all time, and you are eagerly awaiting that guy to beat the **** out of him and it doesn't happen. Instead he gets beat up in embarrassing fashion and QUITS. LOL.

 

Yep! That's why he's on top right now considering we have a lot of future HOF's and some ATG's presently active.
