How Overrated Do You Think Pacquiao Is?

Question

He never really beat Juan M. Marquez decisively and he beat 2 aging veterans in Barrera and Morales,

Zahir Raheem also beat Morales but got no recognition for his win so how overrated do you think Manny Pacquiao is?

Answer 1

He is the real P4P champ. None of those guys were past prime when Pac beat them. In fact, I have Marquez as #2 P4P right now!

Answer 2

I'm a Juan Manuel Marquez fan, and - like others - I think JMM actually won the 2 fights against Pac.  But I don't think Manny is overrated.  I think he legitimately belongs in any discussion of one of the top 5 pound-for-pound fighters in the world.  Despite his questionable technical skill, not many can argue with his speed, power, and aggression.

Answer 3

to milsheik he didn't loose to JMM do u even watch boxing. he is not overrated at all he is one of the best p4p boxer.

Answer 4

Manny is what Julio Cesar Chavez was to Mexico. There are a lot of similarities. Manny beat up on Mexicans and Julio beat up on African Americans (dont remember any Filipinos back then). However, when you least expect it Manny will eventually fall off his cloud just like Chavez did. I remember when Frankie Randall beat Chavez and even Frankie could not believe it. Manny is not overated but do not get to confident being at the top cuz thats when you wake up without a belt.

Answer 5

Pacquiao lost to Marquez? My God! Where on earth you've been? Thats what you thought, but Manny really won. Faced it children, Marquez really lost.

Answer 6

The #2 post are you kidding me Manny beating Mayweather lol in your dreams Mayweather is WAY to fast for him.

Answer 7

Boxing is overrated. MMA is the future. BJ Penn would kill Juan Marquez and Manny Pacquiao in a fight or any other boxer.

Answer 8

Not overrated at all. He's the Mexican Killer. I honestly believe that based on Pacquiao's style and toughness he can beat a guy like Mayweather.

Answer 9

I think like a lot of fighters with the fanatical fan base, like Pacquiao, seem overrated.  But I think objective boxing fans have him measured just about right - he is pretty limited technically, basically only can fight coming forward and only throws straight 1-2s....but his unique power and excellent speed, along with his heart/ferocity enable him to beat guys whose skills are more advanced.  

Right now he has to be in the top 3 or so pound for pound, he's very beatable, but exciting to watch and gifted enough to beat anyone from 126 to 135.

Answer 10

Pacquiao is one of the most exciting boxers in the world

Answer 11

I don't think pac-man is over rated. He beat these guys sound anc clear. And even with Marquez's fight scored so close, he still looked  impressive

Answer 12

Pacquaio is on most peoples P4P list at #2. calazaghe is #2 P4P. Pacman has lost a few times AND lost to JMM. Mayweather and Calazaghe are both undeafeated. We should get Mayweather VS Pacman at a catch wieght of 140 to settle all the arguments

MMA is g*y.
