When I say hype I mean why does Pacquaio get so much hype for his skill when he is a good fighter, but he lacks alot qualities the great fighters who fought like him had. Example young Tyson had way better head movement, and he slipped punches far better. I think Pacquaio has time to learn, but watching Floyd when he was only 21-22 he would have already beaten Pacquiao back when he fought Genaro if that Floyd met Pacquaio now.
Pacquiao doesnt have a sound technique yes, but for someone as technically deficient as he is he surely is EFFECTIVE that alone I think should warrant hype.
I noticed you're starting to berate PAC's previous opponents, dude I'd like to ask you do you think Valero can or will stop PAC? (IMO Valero should be the topdog on this one since he is naturally bigger and stronger starting his career at junior lightweight). What if PAC stops Valero too? I guess you'll say VAL is too green, not skilled.......and so forth
