Also, your friend is clearly a ****ing idiot. "Only" 12? 12 is rather a lot.

Edit: Okay, "might be" a ****ing idiot. Sorry, that was harsh.

 

As are some of mine.

If interested, here is a comparison to Floyd, since one is never mentioned without the other these days.

These lists are counting the four major sanctioning bodies-WBA,WBC,IBF and WBO.

 

He does have more fights, but interestingly, they both became world champions the exact same year. 1998, Manny at flyweight and Mayweather at Super Featherweight. Mayweather turned pro in October of 1996 off a major amateur pedigree where he was an Olympic medalist with big hot prospect hopes. Pac turned pro in January of 1995 off of hunger with big rice bag hopes.

 

If a guy came and unified all the belts from Paperweight to Heavyweight and won all his fights by 1st round KO the majority of the nostalgic people still would claim that SRR was greater.

 

He might if he did all those at the age of 18

 

I believe Cashflow has a chance to do this. :blurp

 

Both Pac and Floyd defeated less champions than DLH did.......interesting:think

 

Both of you are overrating Pac here.

His resume is filled with nobodies: Barrera, Morales (2x) JMM (2x), Hatton, ODLH, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and soon Mosley.
Bunch of shitty awards as well: Fighter of the year several times, fighter of the decade, consistent p4p ranked 1 or 2, held belts in 7 different divisions (and 1 imaginary division), among many others.

I see him nowhere past top 500 atg.

 

This is true. But one is retired and two are still active. ...Well, one is still active and one is retired and one is inactively unretired.

Oscar De La Hoya

Understand from 2003 - 2006 3 years of boxing this could be the worst stretch of opposition I have ever seen. These are consecutive bouts.

2006 in reverse to 2003

Sharmba Mitchell - Knocked out by fighters Floyd Should have faced(Tszu PW)
Arturo Gatti - best style invented for Mayweather
Henry Bruseles KO'd by 14-7 Roberto Ortega Prior
DeMarcus Corley No notable wins
Phillip N'dou - No notable wins
Victoriano Sosa - No notable wins

 

Understand something about Sharmba Mitchell, he could literally come in, use his hand inside his glove, make a fist, underneath the glove, punch you in the face with the gloved fist, and retrieve his hand from the punched or "fisted" area, literally, having struck his opposition. Understand, he is literally...an elite technician. Could Pacquiao stylistically deal with that? I don't know. It's something to keep in mind should they fight. Understand, Pacquiao has been hit by those same punches that I've described Mitchell as being capable of delivering, literally, on elite opposition, such as Kostya Tszyu.

 

Understand Sharmba Mitchell is undefeated fighting at Resorts Hotel in Atlantic City. Understand if the fight happens @ Resorts there is a clear cut winner and that winner is Sharmba Mitchell.

 

Man, that's too high! You're overrating Pac too much!atsch
