    yep i agree. I can't imagine how much a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight would make. It blows my mind, and if this fight doesn't get made it takes a big blow to boxing.

    Where on the other hand big fights always get made in the UFC, no fighter ducks anyone in the UFC. Dana White always makes the fight happen for the fans u gotta respect that.

    Bald head slick , Nallage , Darryl , That marshello guy? , all hate Pac , all would have another thing in common?

    The Pacman love is at an all time high, some might take it a bit far, though, saying he would distroy these great from years past too, so it goes both ways.

    You still have doubts about that? Really?

    I don“t get that Amrstrong comparison. Pac is more like McLarnin than Armstrong.

    James Toney was also so weight-drained he could barely walk. His best win but put into context of the time and historically not that great.

    Manny has never beaten a great fighter in the prime.

    I am grateful that I got the chance to see such a fighter from the same timeline to be honest.

    Unless you actually watch boxing and note Barrera was clearly gun shy post Morales 1 and not as physical as he was down at 122

    ****, what the concept "prime" gets turned inside out on this forum. Can't we just accept that someone that still gets as good results as ever is prime? Otherwise, we can discard the whole thing as it will only make for endless discussions.

    Agreed, Barrera may have not been at his peak but he certainly was in his prime. :good

    Arguably a lot of ****ing things, Double P. You can argue anything subjective, especially prime. But, young successful fighter he was, with a successful enough future, so if you're going to go to all the trouble of saying Pacquiao never beat a great fighter in their prime, as a statement of fact meant in the negative in particular, it shouldn't be a thoroughly arguable thought rather than a fact, which that statement was, you know what I mean?
