Manny Pacquiao sometimes we forget just how good he really is

[DaxxKahn]

just watched this it brought back some great memories and reminded me of some big debates

Crazy thing is as you watch the fights and the years progress he gets better and better each time out....There is no such thing as an "OK" performance from Manny Pacquiao...He is just going to go all out in the best style he can...Plus he has started to use defense...Man the longer Floyd waits to fight him the worse it gets for Floyd

Oscar Larios? Jorge Solis? I agree Manny has looked better and better, but I think part of that is effective strategic planning on the part of Roach and Arum.

Oscar was shot when he faced Manny because for whatever reason he couldn't rehydrate. Cotto wasn't the same offensive force he was a few years before, and Clottey's style was tailor made for Manny to beat. I think they had the perfect strategy to beat Hatton. Now I think Manny has to be a great fighter to accomplish what he did, but he definitely had circumstantial advantages when he faced them.

Not to what you wrote, but what somebody else did. I simply think Floyd didn't want to fight in 2010 again. The more he has been in the spotlight, the more it seems Floyd gets stressed out by it. Across his whole career there have been times where he has been less dedicated to fighting often than necessarily the opponents he has foughten. I think Mayweather has faced plenty of opposition, clearly not like Manny has, but Floyd has beaten at least 8 future hall of famers. That is more than almost anyone else except Manny of this era.

Well yes you have valid points with the oppponents Manny faced and how they were choosen but the same can be said for Floyd...They both have some really big names they made sure they caught at the right time...I agree with Floyd being stressed out by the media but then again he seeks the media out? Kind of catch 22?....Floyd is stressed by the media because he is not really sure how to act.....

Inj truth nif Floyd was just "FLOYD" the Floyd I have met away from fans the Floyd that is known to give back to his community the guy would the this era most popular fighter....Floyd does not likie the villan role just with the way he gets around the media it is one that he finds easier to play
