Maybe even better than Bruce Lee?

Because face it; Bruce Lee is centered around myths and hes more famous for movies than actual documented fights.

But pacquiao has a literal record. Fighting and winning against people in 8 different weight class divisions and insane athletic ability.

You dont see Bruce Lee going for those kinds of challenges against world class fighters.

Didn't Mayweather intentionally wait until Pacquiao was past his prime to fight him?

You wanted Mayweather to go in the ring and start fighting like Tyson did? That is not his style.

You keep responding, it's obvious you're a fan of Mayweather's. I say he's a good fighter but to watch him fight is boring. Also primes and wear and tear on a fighter factor into a fighters "prime". We got the Mayweather fight way too late for it to mean anything. Pacquiaos prime was around the time he fought cotto.

If anything, I was a fan of Tyson. Even if I lost my respect for the guy after what he did to Holyfield.

Dude was clearly not there fully. Fought anyway.

I mean...Pacquiao's been slept to the point that it looked like death. And he's been beaten many times. He's not close to the legend of Bruce Lee. Now the actual Bruce Lee? I guess they're similar? Except Manny probably fights better.

This is just an argument to say why Pacquiao is nothing at all like Bruce Lee.

You don't have to be undefeated to be a warrior. One of the best things about Manny is he always puts himself out there. He went up 8 weight classes, and is still a champion at 40 years old. He's a damn legend.

I already said it was a figure of speech. I only meant he won without having to sweat much for it.

Prime Anderson Silva was a freak. Jon Jones is a freak, but he's tainted for now

Mighty Mouse is probably the best fit for now though
