PacMan is the Best Fighter
THE way Manny Pacquiao destroyed Erik Morales in their “Grand Finale” fight, experts are now pointing in unison to the Filipino ring icon as the best, not only in his division, boxer of the world at this time.
James Slater of the www.eastside-boxing.com believed that the 27-year-old southpaw from General Santos City is now an “unstoppable force” and should be rated at the top of the pound-for-pound category. ”It looks to all the world that Manny is simply unbeatable at present,” Slater mentioned in his article after Pacquiao scored a third-round knockout over Morales last Sunday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
”I honestly cannot think of any super featherweight that would be considered capable of doing so [beating Pacquiao]. And perhaps even a number of lightweights come to that,” he added.
Pacquiao retained his World Boxing Council International crown but the highest accolade in that division belongs to Marco Antonio Barrera, the reigning WBC super featherweight champion. The Filipino fighter is ranked No. 1 in the WBC super featherweight category followed by Morales and Humberto Soto.
Slater mentioned before that Barrera would get an exact revenge over Pacquiao if given a rematch but after seeing how the Filipino punished ‘El Terrible,’ he said, “You know what, I’ve changed my mind.”
There are reports that a Pacquiao-Barrera rematch is in the works sometime in March next year but the talk may hit a snag as the Filipino signed a four-year contract with Top Rank Promotions just after the “Grand Finale” showdown.
Pacquiao kayoed Barrera, who is under the stable of the Golden Boy Promotions of Oscar de la Hoya, in their last meeting in 2003.
Ring Magazine ranked welterweight Floyd Mayweather as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today followed by middleweight Winky Wright and then Pacquiao. But Slater emphasized that Mayweather did not have the arsenal of Pacquiao and should hand the claim to Pacquiao as the best pound-for-pound fighter today.
“I am fully aware the Floyd Mayweather fans will strongly disagree with my assertions, but before anyone starts hurling accusations at me of being biased in the Filipino’s favor, I’d like to point out that the very same thing was accused of me of Mayweather’s favor not too long ago,” Slater furthered.
”I simply feel Manny Pacquiao is the very best boxer in the entire world right now,” he ended.

Si Pacman, dinemanda na ng Golden Boy Promotions........
Golden Boy to Sue PacMan; Filipino
ring idol No. 2 Pound-for-Pound
OSCAR de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions will sue the camp of Manny Pacquiao and wanted to enforce the seven-fight contract they had signed along with the Filipino boxer.
Richard Schaefer, GBP chief executive officer, said that their company’s contract with Pacquiao is valid. He said a battle in the court of law will be the best venue to settle the issue after Bob Arum of Top Rank insisted that his four-year deal with Pacquiao is the real one.
“We obviously have a valid, signed promotional agreement with Manny and we have all intentions to enforce it,” Schaefer told American reporter Steve Kim.
“And that’s really all there is. He signed with us first and I don’t know what he did with Arum but whatever it is, it’s obviously a very clear interference with our promotional and contractual rights. And anybody who would be a part of that obviously opens themselves up for legal claims.”

Manny belongs in the discussion on who's the best pound for pound boxer -my top 3 are Manny, Floyd Mayweather and Jermain Taylor...and it's very close.
napa iling ako nung nabasa ko yung news na kakalas si Manny sa Golden Boy...why go through the distraction of trying to break your contract and risk getting sued, etc? maybe there's something below the surface here...

top rank (bob arum) doubled the price stated sa contract ni manny...and even the bonus he will receive..I heard from the news that he(manny) signed a 4 yr contract with top rank..that means, ung contract nya with dela hoya's golden boy promotions was null and void...so wait natin ang susunod na chapter..siguro legal battle naman...
people of america vs. manny pacquaio? (breach of contract) hehehe...
kaya ung barrera-pacquiao rematch, mukhang suntok sa buwan...heheh...
