the problem with mayweather is that whilst he has got the talent, as person, he has few fans. heck, he even feuded with his father. dlh is given more props for his charity work. despite the bad press he was getting. pac on the other hand is a genuinely humble guy. we can squeal all we want regarding records, but the truth is, ranking atg or p4p wise got a lot to do with fanbase. perception is a big thing in sports. that is the reason why there are very good fighters but lousy when it comes to excitement. think winky wright and jmm. for me, pac is already top 25. mayweather has been accused of ducking so many times. and is there someone in his right mind who can accuse pac of that? duck jmm? he fought the guy twice and decked him 4 times.
I think we have to wait and see in about 5 years, a fighters CV can only be looked at fully and few years after the retirement.
I wouldn't even put Hatton has a hall of famer. He's beaten an old Kostya Tszyu , a shopworn Castillo and lost decisively to Mayweather. He really does not have any other big names on his resume. He should be trying to fight the top guys at 147 such as Cotto, Mosley and Margarito.
well stats dont lie and the stats show that Pacman is 6-1-1 against i think that will be Future HOF's. Duran is only 2-4-0 against HOF's. if you really look at it Pacman legacy already is on par with greats like Duran and well if he beats Hatton well lets just say that will be for me enough to put him topt ten. ill give you a stat that will shock you. these are other top ten fighters records against HOF's Ray Robinson 19 Wins 7 Losses 1 Draw against HOF's Ray Leonard 5 Wins 2 Loses 1 Draw against HOF's Tommie Hearns 3 wins 2 Loses 1 Draw Pernell Whitaker 1 Win 2 Loses 1 Draw Now Pacman is 6 Wins 1 Loss and 1 Draw against Future Hall of Famers Why the hell wont he make top ten. Plus he still has 4 years left of boxing.
who the **** cares about your stats...were talking about old school fighters here..legends, myths, magic, all mixed into one... these guys now..theyre half the athletes..theyre slower, weaker, poorly trained, poorly conditioned and lack proper nutrition
What the **** you know nothing then. Technology my friend has come a long way and im sure LeBron James Roy Jones LaDanian Tomlinson etc would dissagree. The athletes these days are better trained about eating and how they train and work out. Way better athletes today. Get a Clue. One thing about Stats to my friend they never lie. Ask Barry Bonds Hank Aaron Wayne Gretsky Mohanmmed Ali
Yeah and overate every american fighter they have seen. Pacman is bringing back what fans want to see not what PBF bought. Ive watched more Pacman fights than i ever did PBF.
