    Humberto Soto is the truer champ.

    JMM has ducked Soto for more than 4 years.
    Pac has ducked Soto for almost 5 years.
    MAB, EM, Guerrero want nothing to do with Soto.

    I agree he is overrated. Ive been saying it for a while, the only people he loks good against are come forward slower sluggers. Hatton, Cotto, Margarito etc

    Guys who can efectively fight going backwards make Pacman, look not so invincible.
    Marquez, Cotto (for the second half of the fight).....Mayweather?

    Barrera was a bit past his prime when he first fought Pac in 2003.

    barrera's prime was 1998-2002.
    Those 4 years is when MAB was at his best and took on all comers.

    In mid 2003, Barrera had problems with his former managers and promoter cause he left Forum Boxing to go with Golden Boy, then there was wife divorce, and wildfires, and medical clearances before fighting Pac cause of a metal plate in MAB's head, then camp relocation. By the time MAB stepped in the ring to fight Pac, he's stamina was already partially depleted cause he had to come down from high alttude training TWICE and too premature, which ruined his oxygen cells built, and he fatigued quick in the pac fight.

    any of the top 15 contenders in the world couldve beaten MAB that night.
    heck, Morales couldve beaten MAB with only one arm, with the the other arm tied behind his (Morales') own back.

    MAB was beatable that night.

    no.
    he's at his peak right now, with all the peds he's taking, he's maxxed-out.

    Please. How is he when JMM isn't?

    Pac is a media fabrication. If he takes this fight? He will be exposed as such.

    cuz styles makes fight maybe? do you think JMM could beat the likes of Cotto/Margarito? Do you think Pac would do better againt Floyd than Jmm did?

    JMM's an amazing fighter, but i rank Pac/Floyd ahead of him by a fair margin.

    So styles make fights? So why is Pac given credit for Hatton and ODLH? The ******* anthem was how easily Pac destroyed guys Mayweather couldn't. At no point FMJ look troubled by JMM.

    At this point? Probably. Cotto and Margo are both seriously damaged. I wouldn't be surprised if JMM could RJJ/Hopkins them.

    Hell no. He would do MUCH worse. Why? JMM is at least tricky and can deal with a superior opponent. Pac is simple. When he loses? It is going to be spectacular. :lol:

    It is impossible to put Pac above JMM.

    JMM just met a better version of himself in FMJ. A younger/bigger JMM would give FMJ fits.
