Did he just discover Pac 4 years ago or something? :huh I've always been a fan of his, but I wonder why he feels the need to say such things. Especially when he totally overlooks Pac's early career.
He also said he like hagler was too good and t0o black ... Maybe Mark "too much supremacy" johnson should like at the rest of pacs resume and see how its much better than his before hating on the man.
Real objective journalism there "Johnson was ducked by standout fighters from 108 to 118 ... including ...carbajal .. Ricardo Lopez." What kind of mediocre spin doctor journalism is this? Lopez wasn't ducking anybody. Congrats for getting in the hall on your own merits, Too Sharp. Don't discredit other fighters who deserve to be in the hall on their own accord. guys like oscar, shane, margarito, as if that is so ridiculous - would you have beaten margarito too sharp?
Its amazing everyone says Pacman fights dead men....how many ****ing WARS is PACMAN been in ...hes had 60 fights almost.....doesnt it take a toll on his body????i think it shows you how great pacman is...that he can compete at this level even after all those wars....if it was anyother fighter it would have taken its toll
I saw this..........alot of professionals seem to dislike Manny's recent run. If he kept fighting Barerra's and Morales then I'm sure he would be viewed more highly but hey there aren't THAT many of those calibre of opponents around in Manny's defense
Its bull**** who else would he have fought at 140/147 that would have been accepted? berto or bradley? people need to be honest and say they dont like his recent run because floyd is missing on his resume. If he fights floyd next would he not have fought almost all the good boxers post 135?
Why would Johnson find it necessary to slam Pacquiao? On his best day, as good as he was, he would have been koed by Pac on his best day. We can all find reasons to belittle any fighters resume if we choose to. Line up all of Pacs opponents and see where they were ranked when he fought them. He was supposed to lose when he jumped up to welter but he surprised everyone when he won in devastating fashion. No one has battered Dela Hoya, Cotto (not counting Margo's plastered hand wraps), Hattan, or Margarito the way Pacquiao has. Who knows where Pac is headed with all the distractions.
Too Sharp was a great boxer.....but he's on some ready rock if he is trying to compare his career and legacy to Pac... Its like trying to hold a candle to the sun.
