    whitaker woulda controlled the distance and used his superios jab to beat manny, floyd, or duran.

    Are you boxrecing this? That's one of the worst robberies ever. Ramirez was lucky to win 3 rounds.

    Better footwork, head rolls, setting traps.

    On honest cards, Peas undefeated up until he fought Tito. And by then he'd been coked up for a while and was years and weights past his best.

    He literally didn't lose a round to Ramirez in the rematch. And Ramirez was no bum, he'd be one of Pac's best wins actually.

    Maybe you ought to watch more of his fights. You tried to say he wasn't much of a counter puncher in an earlier post.

    Wonder how people see a Whitaker vs Jones Jr match at LMW.

    You can't be accused of being dishonest.

    Ramirez was an excellent pressure fighter but he looked like a bumbling amateur vs Whitaker, both times.

    I genuinely can't believe anyone uses that fight against Pea.

    They might as well say "well maybe Pac can throw enough punches to get a robbery"

    Have you actually seen the fight you're quoting here.

    And when did Pac ever pin someone down to the body?

    Ramirez also stopped someone I'd pick to KO Pacquiao, and he almost beat another guy who'd do the same. Rosario and Arguello are a level above.

    No he didn't.

    His punches just had more effect.

    Ramirez hit lightning in a bottle vs Rosario.

    But he has a much better argument for beating Arguello than be does for beating Pea.
