All threads are typically overwhelmingly side tracked by some posters and they never get back on topic. Let's bring it back on topic. When its all said and done, the difference in competition is there, but its still small, and to some people's view - minimal. I don't agree with the whole 'Manny Pacquiao has been knocked out before. Even if Manny were to have dominant victories against Rios and Bradley, having taken many big shots, it's still not the same victory as a Manny who has never been knocked out'. A Manny who brings the same level of ability as he did against JMM > win than Chavez. We can agree to disagree, but even if we were to disagree, the difference in competition here is minimal. I don't want to hear any 'I don't THINK this is going to be the case in reality' - stick to the premise of the thread or go away.
It would be nice for me to be consistent but as I said earlier, I'm making a thread just trying to see ways in which I can emphasise the greatness of Mayweather..and this one is in regards to his potential greatness. ..So I don't really seek to be consistent as much as I seek to learn in the process itself. There's always going to be someone who respond to ideas that I even throw out there in a 'try and test' approach, isn't there Orriray..
I'm talking potential greatness + you're making a premature judgement on Manny even if you think your line of reasoning is the best. The fact is, we don't know how Manny is going to be. He may be more blood and guts than ever before for all we know. Hence why the first word on the thread is assume. I get where you're coming from though.
Which is the better win? Buddy McGirt or Jose Luis Castillo? I do feel Castillo is a little underrated.
We will have to on the Chavez argument. The '93 version of Julio was past his best, but still sharper than the Pacquiao of 2012. Only way it would have been a better win is if it would have been an '09/'10 version of Pac, and an extremely dominant win at that.
:deal Its no comparison really. I mean Pea's best win is Chavez (**** the judges), are you seriously gonna compare someone like Diego ****ing Corrales to Julio Cesar Chavez?? :rofl:roflatsch
