Is Manny Pacquiao Bad For Boxing?

[LEGION]

Thats your opinion and you can belive what you like but you are very quick to make excuses for Pacs losses. Dont you think it had anything to do with him losing to the better man that night?

I happen to believe boxing is all about stages of career and a fighter may lose to a lesser fighter just because he isnt at his best anymore. There are several examples of this

I do not think that Singursat is better than Pac but he got him at the right time

I do not think Berbick is better than Ali but he got him at the right time

I do not think Rahman is better than Lewis but he got him at the right time

I do not think Willy Wise is better than Chavez but he got him at the right time

and

I do not think Manny is better than Barrera or Oscar. He just got them at the right time.

Thats boxing.

I don't really think Hasim Rahman got Lennox Lewis at the right time, it was more due to Lennox Lewis taking Hasim Rahman lightly. And Lennox Lewis got caught by a lucky punch and if they fought 100 times, they would never happen again. And again i fail to see the comparison here.

I always take exception when i read something like that. Cuz it makes no sense. The main objection in Boxing is to hit your opponent. Why is Rahman's punch lucky?

For real. I hate to this day watching Lennox get knocked silly like that; but that is one punch I can say wasn't lucky. And as you said; they make a living off throwing punches and though Rahman isn't the best HW that ever lived he didn't get where he did throwing lucky ones. Flip the coin and you could say Lewis got lucky in the rematch.
