    Because Pacman is smaller than Floyd, therefore Morales and Barrera weren't smaller than Pacquiao as they would have been to Floyd, Pacquiao moved up to fight them.

    Seriously, how hard is that to understand?

    No, Not Hardly..."Top-Tier" is just UNDER Elite...A Top 10 Lb for Lb'der is an ELITE Fighter...A "Top Tier" Guy is Slightly LESS than that...YOU Named David Diaz who AT BEST Might have Been in the Top 100-150 Lb for Lb @ 1 Point:lol:...Larios MIGHT have Been Top 50-100 @ 1 Point...

    Velasquez, Lucero & Solis??...Please:lol:...

    NONE of those Guys even Resembles a "Top-Tier" Fighter, Dude...@ BEST, they're SOLID Wins like REED Said...

    *sigh* Pac has firmly established himself as a force at Floyd's weight. Something Hatton & Marquez never did.

    I can keep going on with this. I'm just showing how people shit on one fighter for something and praise another for the damn same thing.

    This part is true and there is no arguing it - Pacquiao just destroyed a legitimate welterweight, he has proven himself to be a viable top challenge at welterweight.

    this works both ways tho - if floyd beats him, i don't wanna hear any of this "oh he beat a much smaller guy" bullshit

    If Floyd beats Pac it's the biggest win of his career by far, he'll get credit from me for sure

    Mayweather will find a way to duck Pac, either by demanding 60% of by doing what he's already doing, making it seem like it would be no big deal to beat Manny. :shit:

    So Top 50-100 isn't top tier considering there are over 82,000 registered boxers in the sport world wide? The Top 1% of the sport isn't consider Top Tier to you? :lol:

    Admit it, you're just playing REEDmantics.

    Of course. They represent name fighters you can name off the top of your head. Now if you're talking about Billy "Club Sandwich" Mortegan with a 0-12 record out of Bumfuck, Texas, then I'd say yeah, he's not top tier.

    Just Because U're a "Name" Fighter, that DOESN'T Make U "Top Tier"...Emmanuel Burton is a "Name" Fighter but he's NOT "Top Tier"...Just ADMIT that U 1nce Again Caught a Case of Paquiao LUST & OVERSTATED your Point...

    Here's the funny thing...

    Manny's win over Cotto trumps Floyd's best wins over welterweights.

    Well this is all semantics isn't it, but I'd say a champion can be called 'top tier'. I'd have no problem calling David Diaz (or Carlos Baldomir) a top tier Lightweight (/welterweight), even though he was by no means an elite champ.:dunno: I mean a tier isn't a peak, by it's very nature there are gonna be several 'top tier' guys grouped at the top of a division.

    Has Pacquiao ever beaten a great fighter in their prime?

    Dumbass question by Cupey.

    That's precisely why the MAB fight was so surprising.

    agreed. Cotto is a better welterweight than anyone Floyd has defeated

    Marquez is not in his prime. That's like saying Hopkins was in his prime when he beat Pavlik.

    Well I did get one prediction right, I said you would show up after the fight, and guess what, you did!!

    I wonder how long it will take before your run out of here again lol.

    You don't know boxing, all you do is ride on Manny's nuts.

    1,000.00 says Floyd beat Manny.

    Now step up or shut the F**K up.

    There's always stuff people can nitpick, it's silly, if he hadn't taken those fights the same nitpickers would be saying "why didn't he fight him?". Manny has been a breath of fresh air and taken on everyone who people want him to fight, enjoy the guy while he's here, he's incredible.
