I appreciate Manny as a fighter, but people are overstating his feats.
At least ten of his fights included contractual weight stipulations. Other bouts where he's fought guys outside of their natural habitat.
Pacquiao is an all-time-great, but the weight stipulations, coupled with his regular refusal to undergo proper random unannounced blood based durg testin, seem to be elephants in the room, which are being ignored by everyone.
Like them or loathe them, these issues are a permanent part of his legacy and will always be associated with his name.![]()

There’s a video of Sergey’s manager clearly stating this.
You’ve seen it. You’ve commented on it. And you don’t believe it, because the truth doesn’t adhere to your preferred narrative.
The names I listed that fought Pacquiao whilst having to agree to contractual weight stipulations is an accurate portrayal of real-world historical events.
Chris Alieri, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Eric Morales, Shane Mosley, Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios.
Are you suggesting that I’m lying or applying double-standards? I haven't claimed something that isn't factually-accurate.

Do you believe I’m lying?
I previously asked you (twice) what were the specific words that Kovalev's manager 'clearly stated' in the video to confirm there was no rehydration clause, yet you never answered.
So yes, if you can't reply this time, then you are lying

It’s not the first time this has happened.
If you prefer to believe journalists who can’t cite sources and weren’t privvy to the contract negotiations or stipulations, rather than the fighter’s own manager, then that’s up to you.

You can’t cite any sources to contradict the claims made by Sergey’s own manager.
Claims made by journalists that aren’t supported by any proof, fails to trump Kilmas’s own words.
