    i like pacquiao too bro but where is the evidence that pacquiao can beat this level of fighter? The Sanchez at fw matchup is especially absurd, considering that the guy is his stylistic poison. Remember, this guy got beat by Erik Morales, arguably Marquez at the championship level. All of these guys are in their own right incredibly dominant p4p relevant fighters.

    Prime-for-prime at those respective weights, I don't see him beating the likes of Sanchez, Zarate, Whitaker or Oscar. That is my point.

    He doesn't beat Sanchez or Zarate IMO but I don't think him beating whitaker at welter is so absurd.

    I know you don't. That's what I'm saying, he's underrated.

    :lol:

    That's cool, but just to double check on you, you think he can be favoured to beat Zarage at BW?

    I really dont think you can favour Pacquiao over any top 10 Bantamweight IMO. Even the guys who arnt top 10 but still handy operaters like your Rudkin's, Galaxy's and even Hasegawa's probably all beat the younger and more raw version of Pacquiao.

    Who would be the best Bantamweight you would favour him against?

    Ah, man. I dunno. I just don't know. He didn't really look all that at BW to me. Who knows? Knowing what I know now would exercise drag, for sure...i probably am not that interested in his chances at bantam.

    Between 130 and 140? I honestly think he is in with anyone.

    PHILLA, you still think he was the greatest Featherweight of the generation, don't you?

    at the lower weights I think its a testament to his greatness what he achieved, actually more his potential.

    Agreed on the second statement.

    He clearly was :deal

    although he let them smack each other round a bit before he got his big chance.
