Did i say boxing is dying? No i didnt. I think the standard may be slipping a little that is all. It is a megafight in terms of the amount of fans, but in terms of skill it pales when compared to fights like Hearns v Leonard, Toney v Jones, or Mosely v DLH, or Hopkins v Trinidad. Shit Pbf already owned Hatton and he'd do the same thing with Pac.
Pac destrerves to be a top 3 p4p fighter. He has earned his place and I even had him at #1 last year. However, I dont agree with him being at number one right now. It seems that a lot of boxing writers and boxing organizations need to forget about how big Manny has become with the boxing publc and start taking things for face value. JMM and B-Hop have a better case for being p4p #1 based on opposition and being proven at multiple weights against each divisions elite.
Psalm 144: Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle
Your basing a p4p standing as worst because of 2 controversial fights with JMM...now I'm calling you an idiot. Manny has taken on all comers and now is facing the undisputed Jr Welterweight champion of the world who has not lost at that weight. And your calling him limited. Manny has power, speed, determination to win and goes for the gusto every time he steps in the ring. Also your saying he brings the worst fans why because they stand by their countrymen or love the fact that he brings crossover appeal. The sport needs more humble boxers like Manny who know how to do their job when the bell rings. I think he is the right choice for p4p#1 at this moment and time. I think he is just as good as Pernell Whitaker who at times could put people to sleep with his style. Plus he is only 30 and his career is not even done yet. And your boy Roy Jones had opponents that he should have fought but chose not to and you know who I'm talking about Eagle because we been here b4. But Roy chose to fight the Richard Fraziers of the world instead of more meaningful fights. Manny is good for the sport and the ppv numbers are showing it too.
You're criticizing the current #1 P4P as the worst... As if he's causing some decline in boxing... If that's your mentality, what does it means to boxers like Hatton and Darchinyan that were further down the P4P ladder... Does it mean Hatton and Darchinyan were worse than shit??

Ive got JMM the better all around fighter with many more gears than Manny.And man...I like Pacquiao.Love the intensity,the self belief and undeniable presence.And his willingness to engage some top caliber fighters as of late.Think he made a clear mutual money grab engaging in that carnival farce reality show with Delahypa...as opposed to cleaning up his respected division and even now finishing an open chapter with JMM that is an undeniable and pertinent issue....
but its when the fan boys come in and make broad brush silly statements in an effort to boost up they're boy that it gets blurry.Look Pac has some great scalps on his resume,Morales (lost one though),Marquez (drew in first and 2nd was hotly disputed),Barrera (All praise to pac in first,wrecked Barrera).........but it gets short bus with stuff Like Pac is just as good as Pernell whitaker.....um,no......
I never once said Manny was the worst fighter. U are brain dead. I said he is the worst P4P #1. The fact i actually say he is #1 means i havent said he is the worst fighter now!!!!! Read fuckface read.
Hatton and Darchinyan deserve their spot now but neither would be near the top 10 P4P in a stronger era. In the late 90's, early 00's when there was RJJ, Hopkins, DLH, Mosely, Trinidad, PBF, Barrera, Morales, Tszyu Lewis etc etc guys like Hatton and Vic wouldnt have got a mention top 10 P4P.
You said PAC is the worst P4P #1 and by that, you're degrading too all current active boxers... You're implying that boxers like Hatton and Darchi are worse than shit... You're pathetic...
Dude, they're the best of the current crop in this era... better enjoy their fights and have some fun rather than putting them down by comparing them in bygone eras... It doesn't look good for you as a boxing fan... You should support boxing...

Are u seriously all there? I dont think you are the full quid. I enjoy fighting now, i am not obsessed with one fighter like u and i am just making an observation. Im 10 times the fan u are. U just babble shit.
Show me where i once said Darchi or Hatton is shit? I am a big Darch fan. Atleast i can be unbiased and say he wouldnt be rated as high in other eras. Can u do that with Pac, or are u just a biased fanboy?
