He debuted at 106lbs, was only 16 years old. Had mostly fought to decisions at the start of his career, thus taking some shots right from the beginning.
He was malnourished, poverty stricken, without a decent trainer.

He moved to America, paired up with Roach. He was eating well, training properly, learning actual technique, resting well etc. This was enabling him to get stronger and better.

Honestly, Pacquiao had no business being in the ring with these BIGGER elite guys, yet he not just beat monstrous names, but beat them at or near their primes AND dominated them ALL. Pacquiao was a brutal offensive fighter. These guys only tend to do well against guys of similar size, perhaps smaller. This is WHY Pacquiao is so great.

Pacquiao has a small frame for a welterweight today. Yet he's still pasting guys.

It's very easy to forget that he is a guy who turned professional when he was just 16. Just imagine the wear and tear on his body. He has been in many WARS. No wonder why he was past prime by 2010! Now, he earned a draw IMO against Mayweather, after beating the elite Bradley TWICE.

Pacquiao is a Top 30 ATG.

Floyd had a great career too, he is around 40th on ATG rankings and for sure, one of the finest defensive fighters of all time!

 

Don't feed them dude.

 

:good

 

This is just going to turn into the same old swamp so no point even making any arguments for both of them as equally viable ATG's... some people literally cannot process the virtues of the other, some give understandable arguments as to why they dislike one but they respect them, some are just completely devoid of rational thought and see either as the devil himself because he is different than their idol.

 

Totally agree buddy

 

Truth is they both suck.

Floyd's an arrogant cherry picking moron who lost to Castillo a long time ago and Manny has his own background demons as well as having lost multiple times including getting only recently highlight reel worthy KTFO out by JMM.

I predict that if they continue fighting looking for respect or paydays they will taste the canvas and go on to challenge RJJ for destruction of weak rep by getting knocked out on a regular basis.

 

I agree with Pacquiao's virtues but you can't just not do the same for Mayweather, much of this applies to him, the guy wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the only reason anybody is competitive with him is they come in at middlweight

 

i lost my respect for them a while ago. to them now it aint about fighting the best. its about money. floyd can fight half as- and get the win because he pays off the judges. pac doesnt care if he loses because he will get a lot of money so he doesnt concentrate on his training. they have been following floyd for years now and they still dont know how to fight him

 

Too bad they fought each other past their prime but an amazing run from both fighters. They both deserve the hate and adoration from boxing fans.
