Why Is It So Hard For Manny Pacquiao Fans To Realize He Is Overrated?

January 21, 2011 By Lou Block 98 Comments

Manny Pacquiao fans seem to always put their blinders on and always try to ignore the truth when it comes to their hero.

So many boxing trainers and boxers have already said the same things I’ve said and many real boxing fans have said, “Manny Pacquiao fights guys on the decline!” and never fought a slick black fighter

Now the Middleweight champion of the world Sergio Martinez and his trainer Gabriel “Gabby” Sarmiento have said that Manny fights guys near retirement and at the right time, and the Pacquiao fanboys started getting their feelings hurt and threw insults at Martinez and his trainer like their opinions aren’t credible.

There is no secret that Freddie Roach and Bob Arum are lining up the perfect opponents for Pacquiao. David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito were all tailor made guys for Pacquiao because they were either flat footed or washed up and forced to fight at catchweights to give Manny the advantage.

Boxing Legend Bernard Hopkins drew some criticism when he made it known that Manny hasn’t fought a slick black fighter. Team Pacquiao has avoided every single slick black fighter that was in their way from Zahir Raheem and Joan Guzman at 130, Nate Campbell and Edner Cherry at 135, Timothy Bradley at 140, Andre Berto for the WBC 147-pound title, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. by not taking the Olympic drug tests for steroids and performance enhancement drug detection.

Now they are fighting a 40-year-old Shane Mosley hoping he is washed up badly so they can say that Manny Pacquiao beat a slick black fighter.

Throw water on your face Pacfans and realize that your hero is being fed carefully picked opponents that are past their prime.

Manny is not the real “Fighter of the Decade,” he has losses, has never cleared out a division and hasn’t beaten guys in their prime or coming off a winning streak.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has beaten prime fighters, cleared out weight divisions, and beat undefeated fighters at their weight without catchweights.

Don’t let the media fool you with their anti-Mayweather propaganda. The media is a very powerful tool and they can blind people from the truth, and now they have people fooled into believing Manny Pacquiao is this bad ass all-time great when he can’t even hold a candle to Floyd Mayweather’s resume and career.
