Michael Jordan beats Julius Erving or any player that preceded him in the skills department one-on-one.... so go even further and imagine Michael Jordan playing against Pistol Pete Maravich whom everyone regarded as the best. Even Roger Federer on a bad day easily beats Mc Enroe with the added skill, technique and power.

So STOP Romanticizing that the classic ones were better as even Emmanuel Steward (a known Pac Critic) said after seeing Pac demolish Cotto it was the first time in his whole boxing life he has witnessed such a level in boxing easily dislodging the likes of Aaron Pryor from his own mouth.

Now speed, skill, power and technique applies to boxing. You see it in all his videos, you see it in the way Pacquiao performs and tries his best to better it for the fans.

From the mouth of an opposing corner and trainer Robert Garcia trainer of Margarito:


"People can't be mad at us or blame us for the loss. Everybody else, every other fighter that's lost to him, same thing... It's just that he's out of this world. Something that's special."

Asked about Pacquiao's impact in the history of boxing, Garcia didn't hold back his thoughts. "He's (Pacquiao) somebody that's going to be remembered, somebody that's still going to be recognized 300 years from now. Somebody that's still going to be remembered as one of the best."
