Why is Pacquiao height and reach ignored when looking at his greatness?

[Reloaded]

but when people bring up that Canelo looked drained at the weigh in and Diego Corrales was a shell of himself and weighed in 2lbs over the limit and then had to squeeze out those 2lbs, Floyd fans cannot and will not agree.

Floyd, whose weight was very stable, yet su****iously required an IV.
"I believe Floyd was severely dehydrated but not Canelo and not Diego" -Floyd fans

You just dont listen , Floyds CW with Canelo was an advantage but not near what Mannys Cotto and Oscar was and Floyd didnt make up any BS about leveling the playing field Im only a little guy , Floyd said straight up truth " It will make the job easier "

Manny has the most man made resume of any fighter in history , nobody has as many special conditions as Manny , all the BS about Canelo not going to 160 is no different than Manny forcing Cotto to 145 for his title straight after a 147 drained Oscar was ok , Manny is a real good elite fighter whos team made weight draining a fine art .

That's what impressed me so much about his fight with Margs.

Outweighed his entire career

How many L's can one guy take?

Floyd and his fans can't accept a little midget is being bad ass slaying bigger guys that's why they accuse him of roiding.

That is the biggest compliment you can give to a fighter.

' He's so good even if he's just a midget. He must be taking peds. It's not possible!'

Since he is so good his detractors automatically can't believe he did all those cleanly. 'He must be taking those A side meth again.'

Too awesome = PEDS lol

That's how you know someone is great. They can't believe he did all that

What his detractors forget is that speed kills. That separates the men from the boys. And Pac has it in spades. It's a rare gift that only few athletes have, hence ELITE.

Manny's accomplishments speak for themselves. He doesn't need excuses to prove his greatness.

Outweighed his entire career? His career started at 135 did it?

he started at 108

I agree. People come up with this piss-poor "drained" nonsense when the fact is that Manny was still dealing with a size disadvantage. One guy is drained, one is at a size disadvantage. Even playing field.
Manny deserves much more credit for fighting bigger fighters and I have major respect for the guy.

the size disadvantage was nullified by a few of his opponents coming off bad showings, tko losses and not looking impressive before he fought them

taking nothing away from Pac but most of his welterweight matches were not even welterweight matches.

i respect him though but ODLH, Margo, Mosley, Cotto, rios did not look impressive before he fought them and its not always the name, its when you beat them as well

The guy is recognized as an ATG and a 1st ballot hall of famer...
