I think he is. I mean, he beat a prime Hatton in his natural weight class as well as a slightly over the hill DLH. Cotto and Margarito were great wins too, as well as Barrera and Morales. Floyd (or should I say Void) meanwhile has ducked Margarito, Cotto and Paul Williams. Surely Pac is number 1 ever. Don't get me wrong. HEAD TO HEAD, I think SRR and Hagler would have possibly beaten him, but in terms of legacy, Pac is surely greater. Hagler had the wrong style for Pac but I think Pac is better overall. Besides, Hagler was fighting in the 70's when everyone had **** poor technique so his opponents were ****. Void is void meanwhile. Please do not bring up void in this thread. A man who is going to jail and retires every year. A man who is only famous because he is unbeaten. As an amateur, I am unbeaten, 10-0-0. Does that mean I'm better than void? Stupid logic from void fans Discuss
He is not!!! He would never go up in weight to fight Hagler and if he did he would be KTFO!!! He is atg and great fighter but not even close to GOAT!!! And one more guy from 80s that would destroy Pac is Hearns!!!
People have different opinions, if winning 8 titles in different weight divisions was easy, how come no one else has done it...you will hear a lot of blah blah blah haters....but PAC will definitely go down in the books higher than most boxers. GOAT is depending on how you look at it...
I've modelled my game on Pac. That gives me an advantage. Plus I've studied tapes of Duran and have learnt how to throw uppercuts.
Exactly bro. SRR comes close, but again. SRR fought in the 70's like Hagler and that was a weaker era in my opinion. Less technically correct.
I tried to fight like RJJ in the gym once, after a round of blocking punches with my chin, I went back to my high guard. :-(
Yeah, that Roy Robinson fella is touted, but he fought in the black and white era, which any knoweldgable boxing fans knows didn't have a patch on the colour TV era.
