When has a fighter done what Pac did in the last 5 years?

You dont really go into detail about the marquez fights?:deal

 

Marquez fought a very green Pac, one handed, left hand trigger happy with atrocious defense.

 

yes ellerbe... when pacquiao was weight drained at that weight and still made jmm kissed the canvass LOL kind of ironic, jmm was able to hurt pac but cotto couldnt hmmmmm.. was it true that pacquiao was weight drained at 130? I heard pac was having a hard time making the weight he looked like skeletor in that weight in LOL

 

ellerbe is bitter ^ his BF is not talk of the town LOL

 

what makes you think that Floyd beating Pacquiao would make him the greater fighter? He doesn't inherit all his wins by beating him. Pacquiao is the greater fighter of his generation hands down, regardless of the outcome of Pacquiao vs Mayweather, unless Floyd consistantly starts to prove himself against top flight opposition.

 

+1. Although after last nights performance, I would favor Pac against Floyd, even if stylistically Floyd CAN give Pacquiao problems.

 

What Pac has done over the last few of years, is unbelievable and maybe unprecedented. Just in his last 5 fights he fought at 4 different divisions. Beating the calibre of opponents of JMM (yes, I thought Pac edged it), Oscar De La hoya, Hatton, Cotto.. and in the fashion he beat those last 3 bigger opponents..add to that what he did before that with Barerra and Morales..I can't remember anyone having a run like that in my time watching boxing.


I saw De La Hoya go from 130-160 over the course of his career, with titles in 6 divisions fighting the best including 7 fighters who were/became P4P#1. But he fell short in many of his biggest fights.

Likewise Roy in his career went from 154 to Heavyweight winning titles in 4 divisions and handing out boxing lessons to Hopkins and Toney. But the overall quality of his opposition left a lot to be desired and cheapens his achievements somewhat.

Mayweather won titles in 5 divisions from 130-154, remaining undefeated, but he missed fighting alot of top fighters on his way up the weights. If he had fought and beat the likes of Mosley, Tszyu, Cotto, Margarito, P.Williams..now that would've been on par with what Pac has done. But right now Pac's achievements stand alone at the top in the last 10-15 years.

 

Well said. :happy:thumbsup

 

Regardless of the result. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

So if Maywetaher schools Pac over 12 rounds making him look like an amateur he still wouldnt be considered the greater fighter.

So really what can he do other than beat old ass Mosely to be considered greater in your opinion.

Knock out BHOP.

 

I don't think anything quite like this has happened since the days of Henry Armstrong. (Armstrong jumped in weight so fast that he briefly held the titles for Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight simultaneously. And then was held to a controversial draw for the Middleweight title.)

And for anyone who doesn't know, that was at the end of the 30s/start of the 40s. This is true once in a lifetime stuff.

 

We would have to go back to fighters of 1950's or 60's to find someone who has done what Pacquio has done over last few years. He's definately top man in boxing right now, has been to me since beating Delahoya.

 

Diego Corrales did beat Casamayor, Freitas, and Castillo in a row. Which to me was also an incredible run of beating primed future HOF.
