Could Pac possibly be the greatest pound for pound fighter?

    I agree. ******s will remain ******s. Floyd would kill Margarito like what he did to Hatton. I didn't know Pacquiaos punches were overrated like a hard massage. :lol:

    Good choice. It's a toss up between them for me.

    It's not the fact that he beat Margarito, but the manner in which he did it that adds to Pac's legacy. For that matter, all of Pac's recent victories were astounding (except for clottey). Anyone who fails to appreciate that is just a plain hater.

    Robinson
    Pep
    Ali
    Leonard
    Whitaker
    Chavez
    Duran
    Mayweather
    Armstrong
    Sanchez....

    ....would all beat Pac stylewise at their best without a size advantage IMO.

    The Margarito victory wasn't astounding, it was average. He should have stopped Margarito.

    He did what was expected of him. When this fight was announced, people saw it as a mismatch. Guess what? It was.

    How can Floyd be your P4P if he doesn't show up to fight? I agree with the poster who said it's about accomplishments not skills.

    I don't want to make bold statements, but he's way up there. I think he's the best in his generation. No disrespect to Floyd or any other great boxer in this era.

    Dude, Pacquiao didn't go for the KO. He coasted in the 11th and 12th rounds because he felt mercy for his opponent.

    When a person consistently meets, and once in a while exceeds, people's expectations, then that person is astounding, especially in an era where other people are content with shitty performances. Or worse yet, taking vacations.

    He felt mercy for a cheater, who mocked and insulted his trainers life threatening illness? Who called him a bum, and threatended to knock him out?

    Yet he felt no mercy for a completely broken Miguel Cotto, a decent respectful guy who was suffering a terrible beating. Pac was relentless, showing no compassion for a guy who shouldn't have been allowed to fight past the 11th rond, it was a brutal beating.

    Why would Pac show compassion towards Margarito and not Cotto?

    When has Pac ever refrained from knocking a guy out?

    Pacquiao just beat a C class fighter, not an elite. Like Mayweather beating Gatti. It's really too soon to ask that.
