Pacquiao Analysis

I agree with you but Pac had only one or two fights left before he hangs up his gloves to pursue his political ambition. As much as I want Pac to fight these live fighters, it would in effect, deny Pac a few million $ more (10-15million approximately) he stands to earn in fighting an old and shot Mosley or unretired and rusty Floyd or Margo left-over Cotto!

 

hmm says... If you didn't want to make it seem like a "mental breakdown"/ he never recovered from his loss then why emphasize it? gee that's one whole paragraph son and I was only focusing on your analysis/excuse and nothing else.

 

does anybody else have a similar resume with pac?

 

A lost is a lost. You are the one who said that getting KOd will decrease a boxer's performance. Even if a boxer's lost is from his early career, that kind of lost is still devestating to the boxer. It doesn't matter how young/inexperience he is or weight drained he is. Getting stopped at an early round can cause most boxers to crash and end their careers early.

And you shouldn't compare Floyd's amateur career to Manny's career because Floyd started as an amateur when he was 16. It's alot different than starting as a pro-boxer when you're 16 years old.

I don't understand the statement that you made. I high lighted it in red. Please elaborate.

 

:verysad this is crazy. the pacman, overrated? IMO, he is underrated. 5 or 6 division (not sure) champion, keeps knocking out much bigger guys! when will the haters ever wake up to the fact that this man, pacquiao, is something special!

 

How exactly is Pac being overrated? Outside of the nuthuggers, I think Pac is getting the praise he deserves. Here's what I gathered from all the articles I've read after the fight:

1. Pre-hatton, many still believed that JMM should be # 1 P4P, but after the fight, it's almost univerally agreed that right now Pac is #1. Do you think this is overrating Pac?
2. Many think that even with the return of PBF, Pac is still #1 until PBF proves otherwise since PBF hasn't exactly been busy lately. Do you think this is overrating Pac?
3. Almost everyone describes Pac now as having immense punch power, great speed, accuracy and improved (but not the best) defense. Do you think this is overrating Pac?
4. Not one journalist has said that Pac will run over PBF, Cotto or Shane. At best they give him a good chance against Cotto (at a catchweight), a much smaller chance against Shane (at a catchweight) and at best, 50-50 chances against PBF (at a catchweight). Do you think this is overrating Pac?
5. Many are considering him an ATG but still far away from the likes of SRR, Duran and still lower than SRL. Do you think this is overrating Pac?

Sure people are heaping praises on him, but IMO it is much deserved, especially considering how many doubters he had pre-Hatton. Of course if you listen to the nuthuggers, he certainly is overrated. But that's what nuthuggers do, it's part of their job description to say things like

1. Pac will murder PBF
2. Pac is top 10 or the greatest of all time P4P.
3. Pac will use Valuev's nuts as speedbags

Im sure if you learn to filter out the nuthuggers, you will see that Pac is getting just what he deserves. If you're actually trying to argue with the nuthuggers, well good luck but that is just a lost cause.

 

No. Because those were their opinions and I guess they have their own basis, subective of course.

 

I actually did look deeper and found that what he's done is still impressive. Hatton didn't look or act as if he showed a dented chin or psychological effects from the floyd loss. Actually he was boosted mentally. He actually felt he did "WELL" in his fight with Floyd but got caught by the perfect shot. He felt Floyd was a far harder task than PAC when they decided to pair up. His confidence with his great performance over a skilled fighter like Paulie gave him a nice mental edge in fact. DLH...PAC just completely dominated the way he should have "IF"...and i say "IF" DLH was shot or weight drained. No one really knows the true case....had Hatton done better against PAC like so many (including Oscar) thought he would...then maybe the weight drained or "Shot Oscar" case would have some validity.....But of course PAC dominated yet again and the question is still floating around. I just think PAC beat a past his prime DLH...the same thing that Floyd had done a year earlier. Only PAC crushed DLH in an outstanding performance where Floyd had a very close decision.

 

I think there is to much analyzing this crap. Pac fought the top guy of the 140Ib division and crushed him, regardless if he's been knockout before. Even Diaz, as much as people talk down on the guy, he had a belt and was a world champion. Pac has had some legitimate wins.

 

Tell me a fighter who more or less approximates Armstrong exploits. Heck, had delahoya got title on 147, its more than Armstrong.

Those guys are comparing because they saw the similarity of achievements. You call that over rating? Read again: COMPARISON THRU ACHIEVEMENTS!

lol at Mayweather beating Pac. Its not a done deal and till it is a reality, then we can only talk about your 41-0 thru 5 divisions gutfeel crap, just make it happen 1st.
