    i think youve been around long enough to know that a tough, exiting good american will have a higher stock than a tough, good non-american. thats just the way it is, i'm not calling him a bum. he was a good champion in his reign, pulled some Gatti-esque performance in some of his fights but in no way is he a HOF and while his 10 deff of his belt is comendable, his comp was not Hof caliber.

    Pacquiao is the harder hitter. Speed is power.

    Rafael doesn't have PACS speed. Speed doesn't help raw power, it does help to get a ko in the boxing ring.

    So Marquez is heavier handed but in the ring PAC has the speed that makes him just as dangerous a puncher.

    I have been around long enough to know that people love to talk about an American bias that I don't think is half as prevelant as you guys think it is.

    Let's see what happens to Marquez power when he goes up to 126. Remember what happened to Wilfredo Gomez's power?

    He was not rated on most p4p. He was however rated the top Bantamweight from 1998 to 2002 by Ring all except one year, and that year he was #2 (he had not lost, I don't know why he dropped).

    I would consider that along with his 9 titles defenses of his title to consider him a great fighter. P4P isn't the only thing that equals a great fighter....There are many fighters not rated p4p right now that are still great fighters. Do you feel that only P4P rated fighters are great?

    I agree..if pac has speed alone he cnt knock hall of famers. its his power that gives him the blinding speed.

    I would say Pac in a sense that he was the only fighter who had knocked out the granite chin Morales in the ring. Do you think Rafa would have had a chance to knock Morales out if he had fought him? Aside from Pac who else had knocked out Morales? Nobody... Only Pac. :deal

    No, you get the fukk off. Defended his belt 10 times? Against who??

    I know Austin but to say he is a great fighter is absurd. I can only recall him being once in the P4P list (and #10 at that) for a very short while.
