    For me, it was the Ledwaba bout, as well. Thought the world of Ledwaba, as a slick boxer-puncher. Pac steam-rolled him.

    Spud, do you still maintain that you can't see energy from the sun, or that AIDS is just cat leukemia, or that dark suspicious powers are using Tom and Jerry cartons to control the minds of our children?

    I didn't have a clue who he was watching him enter the ring against Ledwaba.. Just remember seeing the little dude and his team rocking those bandanas and Manny grinning from ear to ear like he was going to Disney Land not a huge fight.. I was rooting for him the first time I saw how enthusiastic he was about fighting...

    David Diaz.


    I watched him, thought he was a good little fighter, not in the Mayweather class though. Then I saw his fight with David Diaz, and he was unbelievable. The movement, timing, power, all on display. When I realized this guy was special.

    Ledwaba was already training for Enrique Sanchez when the latter pulled out of the match. It was Pac who took the fight in two weeks' notice.

    Ledwaba was considered a master boxer back then and Pac was just fast with a massive left. I wonder start this version of Pac would do to a master boxer now :D
     
  9. I had heard his name or whatever but I had never seen him until his first fight with Barrera. It was hard not to take note of him right then..
     
  10. Took notice of him only after the ODLH fight? :patsch

    All i know is in 2005 he was getting his ass kicked and becoming a faded fighter!

    Then BOOM after 30 years old he started to become this so called Great Fighter all of a sudden out the blue.

    I noticed the guy after he knocked down Marquez 3 times and still lost the fight!!!

    Next thing you know he is the toughest son of ***** on the planet and knocking men out at 147 and beating people all the way up to 150lbs. He damn near killed Oscar asking him to fight at that weight!! Poor Oscar aint neva been the same turning to drugs and ****!!!!
     
  13. Yeah, poor, multi-multi-multi millionaire Oscar. POBRECITA :|

    So basically you're saying that Hatton was a good fighter until he fought Floyd and then he was over the hill as soon as he lost?

    Your a ****ing moron.
