Manny the fighting congressman wins!

 

[Johan]

Manny has donne what no one else had before : 8 World Champion belts in 8 different categories. He can retire from boxing, there's no challenge big enough for him.

 

[maildude]

Pac was outreached, outweighed, outsized, and he plum outspeeded and outpunched Margarito. Size apparently doesn't matter.

 

[Basedow]

Pacman fractured Margarito's orbital bone:

Who's left to fight against Pacquiao? He's fought everybody except Floyd. He is the best boxer I have ever seen and will go down as the best boxer ever.

[Bloodshot Scott]

yes

That is awesome. I think Money is the most scared individual on the planet of facing this killer. Pacs is one of my idols!

 

[Basedow]

This fight HAS to happen by next summer.

lets not go overboard

If you know anything about boxing you'd know that it isn't a stretch to say that Pacman is at least considered to be among the top two or three greatest fighters of all time. Not only am I saying this but a number of Boxing commentators and analysts are saying this too. He's now won his eighth world title at a different weight.
