This is a serious question because of many boxing fans have called Manny Pacquiao a pussy and coward for wanting to fight Cotto at a catchweight, which would be his first. To be fair I never considered the Oscar fight a catchweight because you can't expect someone to jump 3 weight classes from 135 to fight you when you called him out and it was at the 147 ww limit. So there are endless discussions about the Pacman for or against him in every boxing forum.

So is Manny Pacquiao bad for boxing? Would boxing be better if Manny Pacquiao never picked up the sport?

Discuss.

You guys make me laugh!

I'm having a little trouble understanding if your question related to the sport of boxing or more specifically related to this forum. It would appear that the subject of Manny Pacquiao is a very hot topic and ultimately good for this community.

Personally, I think there are two personalities that bring the sport of boxing to the spotlight. Yes, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. The classic matchup of good guy verses bad guy. Hollywood and the WWE figured out long ago that this formula sells. Just my 2 cents.
