    its an ok list. but like i mentioned earlier, its more impressive considering the weight he came from to do it.

    so i don't know how to rate that.

    It would be like cotto or Floyd going to middleweight and beating Pavlik. Is it a C- win because Pavlik isn't at his best anymore. Or is it an A win, because of the size difference.

    yes they do now.

    Pac was fighting at 130 in March 2008 and most commentators were saying he is probably too small for these weights as he couldn't over power people like he could at the lower weight.

    So people saying his next 2 years beating Oscar/clottey/cotto and hatton isn't impressive are ******ed.

    floyd is the one that said what pac, has accomplished, would be like floyd going up to super middle or heavy, or something like that.

    And floyd wonders why he didn't get fighter of the decade :rofl

    yup :good


    I don'y get how anyone can hate on Pac, a guy that put together one of the greatest resumes of the last 50 years.

    And 99% of the time, its people that like a guy that has managed to rise 5 weight classes and managed to avoid ever fighting a genuine prime 1st ballot Hall of Famer/ATG

    :lol: Because commentators don't know WTF they are talking about. When Pac was at 130 he was gaining 15 lbs over night, fighting as a welterweight in the ring.

    Floyd was weighing 136 on fight night as a 130 lb'er. Pac has always been the more solid compact fighter. Floyd more lean.

    I'm not trying to hate on Pac, but I think his criticism mostly comes from him fighting drained fighters or trying to make them drain themselves for an advantage. But then again, I'm not sure if its Pac to blame or Arum.

    one of the biggest Myths in Boxing.

    Manny fought one drained fghter his whole career in Oscar. And Manny rose 17 pounds and oscat dropped 3 to make that fight.

    That's why floyd an ATG too

    But no other fighter could have done what manny did.

    He don't get accused of taking A-side meth for nothing.

    If his post 135 resume was so bad. And it was all a mirage, the mayweathers wouldn't have refused to fight him unless he's tested.

    GREAT win over Cotto, an excellent win over Timothy Bradley and a very good one over Hatton.

    I don't really count DLH, Mosley and Margarito tbh, they were all completely shot or weight-drained. Clottey, meh. The loss to Marquez hurts aswell.

    C for me.
