    I thought Jeff was the elder Mayweather that wasn't on crack!

    He basically is at this point, they are using him to test how good prospects are. That's a gate keepers job

    I dont think hes elite anymore, but i dont think hes reached gatekeeper status just yet.

    Which prospect has Pacquiao fought? Horn is simply a money grab and play for Australian audiences. It would be the biggest fight in history there and they'll sell out a huge stadium.

    Pac just dominated Bradley and Vargas. He's old and semi-shot w/ a cracked chin, but he's still A-level/elite... Broner and Danny both ducked him despite high pay days.

    Jessie vowed to go to war, but instead chose to box and got outboxed. I think if Pac was in "Roy Jones Twilight Era," Vargas would have gone to war like he promised.

    No. Jeff looks the most normal, but he's actually the least intelligent, the least accomplished and the least interesting.

    Not quite but he's close. I only watched highlights from the Vargas fight though...

    Gatekeepers don't beat a top 5 fighter and a mid to lower top 10 fighter. He's nowhere near gatekeeper status at this point. If Thurman, Garcia or Porter beat Bradley like Manny did, it would probably be their best win so far. Not interested in Pacs next fight though.

    You have to consider though how far Pac has declined though from where he once was. This is the same man who took the best fighters in the 122, 126 and 140 pound divisons and started beating the living pis out of them from the opening bell. Well, in the case of Barrera the ass kicking didn't really start until round 2 or 3. But you get the point.
