    Nah . . . I honestly doubt it.

    Pac will have to pass through the eye of a needle to beat Diaz at 135 . . . but it's still possible But at 140 . . . higher? NO! :-(

    NO. Unless there is a David Diaz caliber champion at 140, then possible.

    I think he might be able to actually.

    I love these old Pac threads, helps put it in perspective for you.

    Ouch!

    I did later predict that Pac would knock Hatton out, when it was seen as impossible.

    Nah, you were quite prophetic man, you asked the question and a lot of people were ready to shoot you down.

    kg,

    Too bad you are not here anymore to reply on your own thread! Anyway, that's good for you.

    Yeah! Who would believe Pac can dominated Cotto two years ago! If you ask me two years ago, I'll also probably say Cotto KO's pac in 3 rounds!

    PAC is really an amazing boxer! He ranks among the best! Despite his achievements he remains humble. Down to earth in real life!

    Reading this thread is hilarious. Most posters didn't think he would be a lock to beat David Diaz!

    This is so so funny to read. Just goes to show that nobody knows anything for sure.

    To be fair to these guys I would have said the same thing. The only guys I would have thought he could beat during that time are David Diaz and MAYBE Ricky Hatton.

    Everyone is too strong. DLH was supposed to be too strong. So was Hatton, so was Cotto. :lol:

    135, he could dominate that division for a long time. I don't see David Diaz, Juan Diaz, Campbell, Katsisdis, Casamayor, Funeka, etc. able to beat Pac. Same goes for 140 as well, though there's not much there and don't see why he would. Did we just forget that the king of 140 was KTFO by Pac at 140?

    Wait nvm...this thread is long over :yep

    This thread is funny, but perectly logical!

    Why would a former Flyweight Champion, not just beat but demolish Ricky Hatton, Oscar DeLa Hoya and Miguel Cotto...?!?!

    Exactly.

    Two years ago I would've laughed at the suggestion of Pac beating any of De La Hoya, Hatton or Cotto. But then I ended up picking him to beat two of them by knockout. He changed my mind pretty quickly.
