Default Re: Pacquiao's Accomplishments aren't really that Great

As a Floyd fan, I obviously rate him very highly, however, the Gatti win is basically his 'David Diaz' & there's no denying that, it was not a great win.

I've always rated Castillo highly, he's one of those Mexicans who decided to straight into the pros & bar the losses that have come as he has fought past his prime, I think he is a HoFer, not a first ballot, but I think he's worthy. His record would also look different if he didn't cut so easy early in his career.

Corrales I think is a great, although Pac, MAB & Morales come close, I don't think there's another fighter who's been in so many exciting fights, & the weight-drained thing was crap, he weighed in like 10lbs more than Floyd on fight night.

Baldomir was a poor titlist, but the fact was he was the Proper Welterweight champion & whilst he's no great, I'm not sure he is a million miles much worse than some of the guys who've been P4P worthy in recent years (well Margarito & Hatton), but still he is no more than a C-level fighter

Agreed on Zab, he never failed to falter when in the super-fights & the Mayweather fight was no exception although I never get the 'Zab was winning the first 6 rounds' stuff I hear, usually from new posters or those with a Floyd-hate-fetish.

His best stuff was always at 130 though, his wins over Hernandez, Chavez & Manfredy are possibly his finest wins for me.

Anyway, like you say, you can do it for any fighter if you have the agenda, although I find it funny that people seem to love doing it with Floyd & Manny who are the 2 finest fighters of this generation. If they're crap, what does that say about boxing as a sport??
