Lyle I would like to think that someone like you who likes to analyse and review things in depth would do that also for boxing topics and not just for all those other threads you create in the hidden board.

To say that Manny Pac is the 'GREATEST' cuz thats what the title states is quite honest absurd. And don't stretch my comments out and over do it. Manny has had 2 huge victories in his career.
His win over MAB was at 126 (Featherweight) not Super Feather. So thats that.
He then faught JMM also at 126 and got lucky with a Draw.


At 130 Super Feather where 'you' list him as the GREATEST hes like this;
He faught Erik and lost a UD
He the faught Hector Velasquez (42-10) not a World Class fighter by any means
He then rematched Erik in TKO'ed him in a very fashionable way
His last outing was against a 'natural' Super Bantamweight Oscar Larios thats 2 weight classes above. Thats like Pacquiao fighting JLC, Cotto or Hatton at 140. I give Larios props for taking the fight after all his career is winding down and I'm sure he was hoping for a miracle that night.

So as you can see, or should I say from what I can see he hasnt done anything GREAT at 130 to be considered the GREATEST there. Hes 1-1 with Erik and has beaten 2 other guys. In all honesty I cant see how you can say he will overshadow MABs career if he keeps on. Now that when you talk about MAB in the feature people will always bring up Pac thats a different story. But remember Sanchez beat Gomez badly and still that doesnt take ANY credibilty away from Gomez and what a GREAT career he had.
So if Pacquiaos the GREATEST at Super Featherweight then damn!!! where does that leave; Alexis, MAB & Azumah

And I know you put 'IF' Paquaio continues like this, still at this moment hes not there yet.

By the way quit using BoxRec as your source I've told you before their ratings are way off.
