    Manny is an overhyped fighter. The fact that the non defensive Shane was able to slip and dodge alot of Manny's punches and time Manny with some left hands simply amazes me. Manny when he wanted too couldn't find Shane and KO him. It's sad. He's just a media hype job like Floyd says. He's not all that skilled and quite frankly terribly one dimensional. Floyd will have a field day on his face and possibly can get a TKO on Pacquiao if they fight. Manny can only look good if a man stands in front of him and exchanges with him. As far as a thinking mans game Manny is trash. If it isn't a mindless brawl the man isn't ****. What's also funny is these "excuse" threads about Manny overtraining and whatever bull****. It called a moving target. Just face the reality that Manny is a limited fighter.

    Also all you idiots who still believe Pac can get with the likes of a Sweet Pea or Duran youre all out of your ****ing minds. Although it was a lopsided victory he looked like **** against a measley just looking for a pay check Mosley. Pacquiao is too flawed to be mentioned with the greats. He cherry picks worse than Floyd and he's afraid of drug tests. Please stop hyping this guy up and sucking his $%%.

    Kind Regards,
    GOW7

    hasnt he accomplished a lot in boxing? was it simple what he did? Pac is atg and has been very good for boxing in a lot of exciting fights, why cant you appreciate it?
    peoples bias for mayweather clear their fair judgement. you can lable a guy like berto a hypejob by hbo, not pacquiao. it would be mayweathers best win as well.
    Say what you want but he ranks with the best based on what he already did in the sport, one shutout vs a runner wont change that eventhough people want it so badly.

    So why doesn't Floyd just fight him and pocket millions upon millions?

    What a resume Pac has compiled. All from being a one trick pony. Imagine if he actually learned boxing he'd probably have titles in all weight divisions. :nut

    Ok, getting a bit sick of this ****. Pac never even had to dig deep to win a one sided fight. Shane (as much as I like him) did **** all to bother Manny.

    The PED user is not one dimensional, but he's certainly not as gifted boxistically as alot of the *******s would like to believe.

    Pacquiao's improved some boxistically since his featherweight days, but nowhere near to where he can match x's and o's vs a real boxer fighting at the top of his game.

    .......its been awhile since Pacquiao's taken on one of those......try over 3 years ago vs some chump named Juan Manuel Marquez.:yep

    Manny is probably the most physically gifted fighter in the sport in my view. Great assets in terms of power, endurance, chin, footspeed and handspeed, but his technique while awkward, opens too many doors to solid, decent, counter punching fighters.

    Floyd can match Manny in everything except power and potentially endurance, in my view, he times Manny much better and has the faster trigger on his punches, in combination punching, Manny is faster - in a snapping punch, Mayweather is quicker.

    The style is so right for Floyd that it really makes me question what stops him from taking this fight.

    Manny landed 50% of his powershots according to compubox. A higher % than FLoyd

    Overyped? Shane although shot could have timed Pac with his right hand but hesitated coz he dont want to let his right side open for Pac's left.

    Overhyped my ass. Manny should have lost to a shot mosley, if thats overhyped to you.

    Mosley was shot even before the Margarito fight.

    If Manny is overhyped, you might as well stop watching boxing and go watch the WPGA. Some of you are such drama queens.
