    Before the the 4th Marquez fight, alot of clowns, er I mean fans had Pac rated as an ATG. After he got **** pushed in and brutally KOed by an 40 year, past prime, shot fighter who's been in a ton of wars, one has to ponder how being exposed like that sheds light on how good he really was.

    I think's its become clear that Pac ought to be removed from the ATG great list. He's simply a hall of famer. Marquez is the ATG and he solidified a few weeks ago.:deal

    I don't think Pacquiao got exposed he is an ATG. But he was just never as good as people made him to be I.e the second coming of Christ or G.O.A.T

    But he was really good fighter, Marquez is another really great fighter and I always thought he was the better boxer but lacked the speed and power of Pacquiao.

    Both guys are elite fighters and you can only make a case for a select few fighters who are better than them in this era.

    If losing to an ATG removed your ATG status, ATG's wouldn't exist.

    You obviously know **** all about boxing. How do you fool the sports writers and pundits and pro's?? Manny Pacquiao won fighter of the decade Manny Pacquiao has won 8 weight titles.. Who else has done that?
    Just because you are a hater it does not mean your opinion is correct..
    Did Muhamed Ali's legacy get spoilt by his defeats...NO
    How about SRR? or SRL?

    Get a life and stop hating homo

    Out of four fights one guy progressively got better and adapted while being robbed of his victories.
    PAC on the other hand can only fight one way, the guy has 0 adaptability.

    If you remove all of Manny's prior accomplishments just because he suffered a brutal KO at the hands of his stylistic nemesis right at the end of his ATG career, then you, sir, don't know **** about boxing.

    I thought this would be a legit debate over where he should fall, P4P, #6-15. Buuuuuuut, instead I got a shitty troll thread.

    Sportswriters, pundits and pro are a bunc of journalistic geeks who've never put on a pair of boxing gloves in their life.The fighter of the decade award was nothing more than a popularity contest.

    Exactly.

    I know PAC has some extreme fans and he did things that annoyed me but most boxers do too but you have to be reasonable when assessing his career. Ofcourse some of it was hype and he was matched well sometimes but he still ran through ALOT of very very good fighters.

    Manny IS an ATG he WILL be remembered. No point trying to deny it.
