ATG: Who Ranks Higher? Pacman or Hitman?

Because everyone who has seen the fight knows that Whitaker won the fight. It's one of the biggest high-profile robberies of all time. Not to mention he was just better.

 

Chavez did well up to a certain level but Pernell won the same way at every level. Just a little better fighter. But Chavez fought them all.

 

just 2 years ago people would call people idiots for even mentioning pacquiao fighting hatton or de la hoya. then manny smoked their boots..

 

In boxing 2 years can be a long time.

 

Hearns was tall but not really built for weight.

 

Manny beat Diaz! That isn't very impressive.

 

Chavez was more of a warrior.

 

Manny needs to fight Floyd.

 

Floyd and Manny need each other to complete the legacy.

 

Not really. Different era and more organized when Hearns was around Langford? Come on. It is good that you bring up the old fighters, but in a way it also does not really pertain to modern boxing. Hearns would have had fun pounding the guy up in the early years. Hearns had 163 amatuer fights. Not winning a world title but fighting higher does not mean that much. That is what happen with one of them. Hearns won the welterweight championship over a legend champion and then 11 years later beat another legend at light heavyweight. That rarely is done and Pacman has not done it. Not against someone as good as Virgil Hill with 10 defenses. Hatton was not as good as Hill, but he had a good following. But a good following does not make him a great fighter.

 

Hearns clearly.

 

Hitman Hatton gets my vote

 

you mean Hearns right? I think maybe people are thinking it is Hatton who is compared to Pacman because Hearns was so much greater than Manny. Hearns was iconic.
