    Someone In A Thread Was Saying If Pacman Did This & That He Would Be Ranked #1 All Time...

    I said its really impossible to be ranked #1 as a boxer because there is nobody with an unbeatable style.... every question has an answer....

    What I would like to know is...

    Who In Boxing All Time.. During Their Prime... Pound For Pound... Would Be One Of The Toughest People To Match Up With?

    Donaire would get dealt with by Canto, Harada, Ebihara, Too Sharp, Zapata to name a few...nothing to suggest he has a chance against those guys yet.

    Agree with Gomez at 122...hard to see anyone beating him there.

    Sigh...you have to actually watch the fights asero..just because you see on boxrec he has a few MD and SD's, mostly in the other guys hometown, does not mean they were all close. And if you actually look at the fighters who he had those fights against you will find they are among the greatest flyweights ever.

    Even bigger sigh...Zapata was a ****ing huge lightflyweight, he was also excellent at flyweight.
    Admittedly he does have the durability issues that a puncher like Donaire could expose...but at his best Zapata schools Donaire.

    Too Careless too sharp? :clap: Oh zing...now the laughter has died down lets get back to reality please...Mark has some of the fastest hands of any fighter that has lived and was very dominant in his prime.

    Donaire looked less then convincing against Mthlane and that other armenian kid...one big KO over Vic "Here is my chin on a platter" Darchinyan, does not equate to H2H greatness in one of the historically strongest divisions ever.

    Donaire against guys like Canto, Villa, Wilde & Lynch? I don't think so.

    Hells yeah! Benny gets some respect. Too skilled, too athletic and too durable for Donaire. I like him but he's WAY too unproven yet to be considered. He's got the makings but not the resume.

    Interesting choice. I don't know much about his time there other than obviously Duran. 147 is usually seen as his best weight, why 154?

    160-Purely head to head, I don't see anyone beat the Marvin Hagler from Caveman Lee-Tommy Hearns fights. Greatest middle ever

    Roy Jones Jr at 168 hands down he would be a H2H terror for anyone in boxing history.
