    But he didnt though did he? There will always becontrast of opinions in the case of a close fight but the man who's arm gets raised is the winner and there's nothing we can do about it.

    No he didn't. The first fight was scored a tie because a judge admitted to ****ing up and scoring a round 10-8 instead of 10-6. So that fight should have gone to Pac. As for the second fight it was a close fight and plenty of people score it for Pac. These weren't robberies they were close fights and at the end of the day Pac got the nod.

    It was 10-7. And Pac practically lost the fight. When you get a 10-6 round with no more KDs and a draw, it's suffice to say you lost the rest of the fight. Didn't lose it literally but drawing from a winning position is as bad as losing

    What if he beat Mayweather or PW or Mosley would you have him next to SRL and Duran?

    I think Its only SRL and Duran who rank higher, one good win could rank him level he sure as hell has the names on his resume'

    in terms of accomplishments, he's in his own class. who else has won 7 titles in 7 weight classes. in terms of skill i think srl and duran might still be a little ahead.

    Whenever a topic about Pac, you come to glorify your hero as if he cured cancer. Whitaker was robbed vs DLH n JCC, you won't admit it because you want Manny to be above Pernell. But sorry he won't ever be above pernell. You wanna play that game?

    Manny lost to a washed up Morales who mocked him in the final round. He then beat a drained version who alrdy lost previously.
    He fought the weakest at 135
    He fought someone who just got KO by Floyd and then was saved by the ref from being KO'd by Lazcano.
    He fought a Cotto who was destroyed by Margarito.
    Then he fights the human punch bag.

    No need to bring JMM into this either because we know what happened there.

    So Pac is great, i like him. But hes someone whose been guided n promoted perfectly. Just so you know by the way, Pac has only lately become the "smaller guy" all his fights below 135, he has usually been the heavier guy.
