This is getting out of hand. Surely one thread of Manny appreciation will do. Are you going to start 220 different threads about people saying they think Manny is great today? Surely those views could be contained in the one thread.

I hate to get picky but it's getting boring seeing the board littered with this junk.

and to make things worse it's not even true, Pacquiao doesn't have shit on Whitaker

According to Bert Sugar, Manny is... Anyway we have our own personal opinions...

That's a good idea... We will bunch all these PAChuggers (Bert Sugar, Miguel Cotto, Al Bernstein, many more...) appreciation and praises into one thread...

What would be the title of that thread?

Pac nuthuggers unite?

Nothing wrong with these posts but since they're similar and there already a boatload of Xadu's Manny posts they have been merged.

Greatest lefthander of all time? Hmm.

link --> Pacquiao May Be Best Ever Under 135

by Al Bernstein

I have taken some time to let the events of May 2 gestate a little. I have rolled them around in my mind and come up with some historical perspective. I now believe this basic fact, IF Manny Pacquiao can beat any one of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shane Mosley, or Miguel Cotto, he will have stamped himself the best fighter EVER at 135 pounds or below. Here is my reasoning. The quartet of Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barerra, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales produced the greatest series of fights seen at any time in boxing. They occured during a decade's span in a few weight divisions. This series of fights exceeded even the Hagler, Leonard, Duran, and Hearns combinations of matches. I know, many of you are gasping at that last statement, but it's true. Pacman and his little crew overall had more classic battles than Hagler and his legendary bunch. And, even though Marquez has a legitimate argument to the contrary because of his two close fights with Pacquiao, Manny narrowly emerged from that pack with the best results and biggest name. And then Manny did something that really seperated him from that group--he moved up in weight and dominated. Now, I fully understand that David Diaz at i35 was only a so-so lightweight champ, and Oscar De La Hoya ended up being a shell of his former self when he fought Pacquiao (although he was a big favorite before the fight). And, I also conceed that Ricky hatton had slipped in recent fights--and many thought he was never a great fighter. But, still, the WAY Pacquiao won over Ricky was impressive.

All of that is why I am not quite ready to totally make Manny a deity--but I am close. If he beats one of the aforementioned fighters he will have proved that no one in history has been able to dominate the smaller weight divisions like him. From 112 all the way to 147 he has performed well. That's astonishing.

I would rename it a Manny appreciation thread but I don't know how to edit titles

this is good actually, no need for three separate threads.

Sorry for the added work of merging all these PAChuggers (Bert Sugar, Al Bernstein, Miguel Cotto) appreciation statements about PAC... This is good...

Thanks MOD Ouma...

Yes, a much more sensible title that.

After the Pacquiao fight, Cotto said something like "Pacquiao is the greatest fighter he has fought".
