Rewatching Pacquiao's fights down the years

[NUCLEAR]

I enjoyed making my way through some of his back catalogue. His relentless performance against Barrera, his closely fought battles against Marquez, his beating of Hatton. My favourite was probably his Cotto fight, although i really like his performance against Margarito.

He was/is a really special fighter. It was interesting watching him start as a talented, wild, strong puncher and progressing into a world class fighter as his career went along.

I didn't touch on them in the thread, but i rewatched Pacquiao's losses to Morlaes and Marquez also. Both great fights.
I really enjoyed the Morales trilogy. Rewatching it reminded me of how much i enjoyed Morales's style and career.

It was fun to catch up on some fights i hadn't seen in a while though. It pretty time consuming, but i might rewatch a chunk of De La Hoya's or Leonard's fights next.

You should watch his fights way before he came to america it wasn't beautiful on the technical standpoint but this is how pac's courage was shining it was just all guts and willpower pacquiao fights like a kamekazi

This was an absolutely awesome fight. Seeing Pac in full flow against a beast like Margo was insane, I was waiting and waiting for Margo to do something, and when he starting blasting Pac with body shots against the ropes I thought it was over. Ref should have stopped in in the 10th or 11th.

Watching Pac trying to force the stoppage here was one of the craziest things ive seen in a boxing ring.

Little Pac going toe to toe with a bigger guys like margarito & cotto was insane. I've seen him on personal and pac was actually smaller than you thought his wife is even bigger than him he could have took a knee from those body shots margarito unleashed but his willpower is strong enough to resist the pain what a ****ing warrior.

I like the first Erik and 2nd Marquez fights. manny won the latter imo

I can't rewatch his fights because I just can't enjoy them knowing he was drugged up to the eyeballs. His career is tainted. I'd rather watch PBM and appreciate a natural talent who showcased his brilliant skills without resorting to peds. Nothing personal against Manny, just don't like junkies. Thanks.

so you're a racist AND a f@gg0t ass b1tch...fitting

Based on what? Rumors and speculation? The "natural talent" you suggest actually has documented flags. Abnormal epitestosterone to testosterone ratio on two occasions, suppressed USADA testing results, and of corse, documented use of a diuretics which is banned by WADA (the Olympic standard he claims to follow). Now I'm not saying he definitively was using PED's, just comparing red flags vs rumors and speculation. You seem to prefer rumors to documented facts.

You sound very convincing with your big words, but Manny is a roidhead. Fact. Uncle Tom Traitor.

Can't get enough of the Cotto fight.

Big words? Damn, sorry, didn't realize you can't handle big boy words. Stay in school, its obvious you need it.

Can't get enough of the Cotto fight.

Was one of the most stressful for me to watch, had no clue what was going to happen. Love the way he took away Cotto's jab in that one.

And who the **** is PBM?

That Ledwaba fight is how you make a statement on your big network debut. Manny took full advantage of the opportunity.

The first Barrera fight is how you make a statement on the big stage. It's a shame that casuals didn't know much about Manny before the Oscar fight, but the fight with Barrera was his breakthrough fight. He proved he wasn't just an action fighter that night, he proved he was elite.
