    Erm...I think that was a pretty damn good prediction. Did you not see Marquez ALL OVER THE F*CKING CANVAS?????????

    There's only one or two punches difference between being knocked down and KO'd. It was a pretty good prediction.

    Floyd would have ruined Pac at 130.

    Prime Mayweather outclasses Pacquiao.

    Pac would have dumped Floyd's ass at 108.

    He still has 4 or 5 fights left. Floyd, Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, and perhaps as a farewell fight in the Philippines.... an easy one, Valero. :good

    One thing about Al Bernsrein that I give him props over other so called Hostorians

    BERT SUGAR /COLIN HART...he doesnt wear ROSE tinted glasses like those to claiming todays fighters wouldnt have a chance vs the old timers..

    credit to him. I think 5/6 fighters from this era could have whooped most of the fighters from any era

    Jones
    Pacman
    Floyd
    Hopkins
    Toney etc

    Duran was blown away by hearns, dominated by hagler and embarrassingly quit against leonard. Although his resume was phenomenal below 135, what he showed above that weight should have diminished his standings. Pac has never been blown away, dominated or quit in his biggest fights yet.

    Al is right. If he beats either Floyd or Shane then Pac may be the best ever under 135. No doubt.

    Morales vs. Pac was a classic even to the losing team. If floyd fought that version of manny then, he wouldn't bloody pac but would probably get a decision win. The thing is, pac vs floyd never happened and Mr. Bernstein was invariably recollecting past fights of the 3 mexicans and the filipino = fights that actually happened and IMO classic fights.

    Paciaqou is overrated 135 and up. He fought nobody at 135, he fought nobody at 140, he fought nobody at 147. JMM is better than Manny, simply because he actually fights the best in each division he moves up in. He goes to 135 and fights not the weakest title holder, but two of the best fighters in the division, Casamayor and Juan Diaz, even though I do think he ducked Nate Campbell to face Juan Diaz.
