    Bernstein said best ever under 135 and by that he means from 105 lbs to 130 lbs. Is there any other boxer who won 3 lineal championship belts from 112 lbs to 130 lbs? Only pacman was able to do that, a feat that would be very difficult to replicate, let alone surpass.

    Okay I was a little far off with that comment, but I would favor Mayweather to beat Pacquiao back then and now, as long as he doesn't have physical injuries. Here is another clip of Mayweather in his prime, and this is just his 7th pro fight.

    no problem man. i appreciate the clips. floyd's a very accurate guy. much like how jmm operates. doesn't waste much punches. it kinda reminds me also of donaire.

    about the thumbs-up emoticon, it was because you probably made a mistake and put floyd <<<< (is far a lesser fighter than) pac when your real point is that floyd is a much greater than pac when he is not injured. :yep

    Again, we will never know really unless the two actually fight atop the ring. But regarding the topic of the thread that pac was the best under 135, money may became a champ only at 130 while pac has 3 lineal belts from 112 to 130.

    the guy had 12 wins and 15 losses. how impressive can domination of a career loser be. i think floyd is a very good fighter but clips of him beating up pinatas in boxing trunks really doesnt impress.

    On what basis? Canzoneri's resume is so far ahead of Pac's it's not even contestable.

    being dominated by ambers is a major blow in his overall ability as a fighter...it's like pacquiao clearly losing 10 rounds to barrera

    A lot of hype for a boxer that was schooled twice by JMM.

    Ambers is another fighter with a far superior resume to Pacquiao, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Mayweather, etc.

    Pac is a great fighter no doubt, but he is being overhyped.:yep

    Marquez put forth two great performances against pac that will be remembered forever. :deal

    So do you agree with this nonsense ?

    because I certainly dont, Duran fought at 135, Pacquiao aint near him & likely never will be.

    These old guys should go for regular check-ups.

    Even if Bernstein meant UNDER 135, he`s still a clueless mug because Willie Pep is streets ahead of Manny.

    How the **** can Pacquiao be the best when he's not even better than JMM?

    Bernstein is like Bert Sugar. A good person to listen to about the history of boxing maybe, but his opinions don't mean **** often!

    :lol:
