It just happened so fast. From a good fighter, he was exciting as hell. Then he took it to another level. To greatness. By defying logic, by continuing to surprise us. As of this moment, I can definitely say that Pacquiao's legacy is now secure as compared to PBF's which has still many question marks.
What amazes me is his progression ..Who would of thought after conquering two Mexican legends in MAB and Morales he would endup where he is now ?? Truly amazing !
The Pacman is just what boxing needs a true superstar with awesome speed and power. I could watch him fight forever.
The only downside is waiting for him to fight again. No boxer in recent history has pushed the envelope and won seemingly unwinnable fights. To only be proclaimed the underdog again. Long Live The King !
Pacquiao could retire right now legend firmly intact, but what does he do? He keeps going, actively seeking the most difficult challenges imaginable, and unimaginable. That is what greatness is. I sincerely believe Pacquiao would get in the ring with any man who has ever put on gloves within reason. Words aren't enough for this man.
Most scary thing to me, is to see Pac improving so much every single fight the last year. Pac is has not finished developing yet. That's Incredible considering the level he is at and the career he has had isnt it? Edit: Didnt read your post imperial. Yes 100% agreed. Btw, did you guys know that if you have 5$ and Pac has 5$, Pac has more money than you do?
pac is amazing, sure is a living legend, but i see many over rated comments about him ... easily the best fighter in the last 5 or 7 years for sure ... but #1 ATG what a crap from the last 20 years i would place pacman at my 4 place behind Chavez, Whitaker and Tito
I guess thats a lesson and the difference between those that proclaim their greatness and those that just go about becoming great through actions.
