    Counting the wins-losses ratio of boxers they defeated,

    If you count all Pacman wins & all his losses of the guys he beaten. It will come out close to 5.7, I tried it on top champions, will try it on contenders, although the high ratio is concentrated in champions

    PAC was learning on the job, where as you mentioned, Olympic champions have had extensive experience in the amateurs and are pushed to fight better opposition through the hype.

    That is the idea, Olympic Gold medalists will now have to do what Vasyl did or stay in the amateurs. Shiming was also brought up the hard way (both Vasyl & Shiming were Bob Arum), so maybe he didn't have time for stalling & wanted to see the end game in his lifetime...Which helped boxing a lot, Shiming got derailed, but picked a belt...Vasyl managed to become a legend, not a bad deal

    I haven't watched shining at all to be honest. What this Ukrainian is doing is really unbelievable and unprecedented.
    His style I've never seen before. An aggressive slick boxer who barely gets hit! Very very impressive

    Shiming Olympic credit didn't translate well in the Pros. Vasyl fight vs Salido was the rudest welcome possible to the Pros but it seems to have helped Vasyl. Now it seems he is a class above the Boxing Elite

    In a way salido was the best thing to happen to lomachenko. He was naive and it has taught him how unfair the pro ranks can be.
    He has a nasty streak in the ring now which I like

    You should watch it, its a great movie, very creepy and horrific. There is this one scene where Jack Nicholson walked in a shower and saw this beautiful lady nude, but as she got closer it was actually an ugly old lady. The movie was great, you should watch The Shining it will give you the creeps.
