    I look around these threads and all the talk is about his recent fights, but he's been so dominant, you maybe have to go back a few years to find out Pacquiao's intanigibles.

    Where are the mentions of his two jobs on Barrera? A boxerwho was also skilled and adaptive in the ring? Morales? A guy nobody thought could get broken down but actually was? Marquez...a better fighter and awkward stylistically for Pacquiao, who was outboxed at times in the second fight?

    Pacquiao's recent wins have been almost too dominant to really consider, just like Mayweather/Marquez tells up nothing. People shouldn't forget just who Pacquiao has beaten and how good he is.

    Maybe they cant accept the fact that a Pacific Islander is the P4P #1. When you think about it great boxers from the past are mostly either Mexican or American. Then this midget showed up and starts making a raucus, they cant accept it. IMO.:hat

    Nice try at being funny. Too bad you FAILED.

    TS, you're absolutey right. Unfortunately people tend to take things for granted and will only realize what unfolded right before their eyes when the subject matter is gone. If Pac goes on to be competitive with PBF, years from now he'll be given his dues and will be spoken of along side the greats of yester-year. For now, there are way too many envious fans getting in the way for a serious appreciation thread of any kind. It goes with most fighters though, not just Pac.

    Think about it for a Sec. Barerra, Morales, Marquez, Dela Hoya, Hatton and Cotto has very huge following, I mean HUGE. When you beat fighters like these and coming from Asia, you will get alot of hate and people find a way to discredit you.

    If Pac was American or Mexican he wont have any hate. I mean 0%. IMO.

    He didn't look so great against Marquez - who actually won more rounds in two fights than did Pacquiao.

    Any of you Pacturds care to explain away that little inconvenient fact?
