no doubt pacquiao is a great fighter but he's only one of the many great fighters past and present. i would agree that he's probably right now a top 25-30 all-time p4p fighter. but he still needs to do alot more things before he can be considered anywhere near the top 10. for those of you who think mayweather is "scurred" of pacquiao, let's wait until the end of 2011 before we make that assumption. this is no indictment on pacquiao but i seriously think mayweather is much will better than him and will beat him convincingly. many great fighters throughout history have had questions about them and pacquiao is certainly one of them. such as:

a. why oh why does he continue to get matched up with fighters who are on the way down and not in their absolute primes.

b. why oh why didn't he ever accept that 3rd fight with marquez? a vast majority of experts, writers and fans believe pacquiao clearly lost that fight. hell, even the philippine media thought he lost. and since he's their major super hero, well, you can make your conclusions on that one.

c. why did he fight the GREAT david diaz (paper champ) before whilst casamayor, marquez, juan diaz, campbell, and others were available.

d. why does he insist on fighting AND demanding catchweight fights? the great one never demanded them. they fought on their own merits and accomplishments and not with some kind of unfair advantage.

e. why won't he take that stupid blood test? what does he have to hide? you mean to tell me YOU would turn down $40-50 mil before you're scared of needles? come on, some people have rocks in their noggin and would believe anything, but not this fan.

f. and if margarito is supposedly way past his prime and pacquiao will go through him like butter, why then did pacquiao first agree to fight at a catchweight of 151 but later on complained and have it changed to 150? this is bullshit and unless you're a pacquiao nuthugger, you should agree as well.

g. finally, if he, pacman, was willing to give an absolute washed up, morales a trilogy, why oh why did he balk into giving a very dangerous marquez one? is this the mark of a superior ATG? Hmmmm!!!

well, there you go. i think pacquiao is a great fighter but i still have many, as do others, lingering questions about this guy. and to MORALES, no,this is NOT a racial thread. so don't turn me in to the moderators and try to have me banned. okay?
