    I was born in 92. I'm 23. I forgot that the fight was not in 96.

    I used to watch live fights when I lived with my dad.

    In the skill department, PAC is one of the worst. He was basically a swarmer who relied on speed and PED's. A very poor sport to say the least. Low boxing intelligence. And sub-standard chin. Now if that floats your boat, good luck.

    Agreed :good

    Pac relied on speed, power and PEDs.

    Floyd relied on speed, skill and PEDs.

    Pacman is up there, but as ATG's go, I don't have him ranked higher than 2 other southpaws in Pernell WHitaker and Marvelous Hagler. I have those 2 guys ranked in my top 20-25 fighters of all time.

    Sometimes I like pacman, sometimes I hate him. Sometimes I think he's pretty good at boxing, sometimes I think that without peds he would be nothing but s***t.

    Today, I think that he is a great boxer, but not skillwise. He is physically a beast, and if at any point it is proved by any mean that he used peds at any point of his career, for me he would be just an average boxer.

    Possibly in the top 5? :huh

    I think he's most definitely in the top 5, the question for me is #3 or #4. Which 5 would you consider ranking ahead of him?

    He's one of the greatest no question, some others off the top of my head; Maravilla, Calzaghe, Camacho, Whitaker and maybe the greatest of them all, Marvelous Marvin!!!
