    You are kidding me right

    It all boils down to a styles thing

    Manny hates getting hit with straight rights (best punch against a southpaw) and Kotsya had one of the very best straight rights in history.

    Not saying Manny wouldnt win but to say Kotsya gets knocked out within 5 is just plain ridiculous. Kostya had a great beard and it took prime Hatton almost the full fight to put the old version away

    Would be a close fight, be an interesting clash of the straight right vs straight left, Pac's speed and relentlessness vs Kostya's boxing skills and power

    Understandable. Achievers conquer the real world, while losers rather shirk in fantasyland pitting the living and the long-dead. :good

    Its not like Past Fighters are unbeatable... Fighter are more advanced this day and age. Its just funny how some people still have the old timers in the back of their mind like their God and cant be beat. Its just the matter of opinion.

    Sweet Pea and Pryor immediately come to mind but I'd expect a war either way against either fighter.

    You're logic makes not sense. Pac destory Hatton in 2 rounds which was impressive, automatically causes you to believe that he can defeat Pryor, Chavez, or Whitaker.

    You say that they never faced anyone with the speed or power of Pac, Pryor fought Arguello and Tommy Hearn in the amateurs. Pryor wanted to fight SRR and he wanted nothing to do with him. Whitaker fought Chavez, DLH, and Trinidad (he won 2 of the three IMO). I'm a huge PAC fan and he is number one p4p, but he has never and I mean never faced a master boxer like Whitaker. Before we get carried away lets see how he adjust to all styles.

    And how he handles WW power. The Cotto fight will be a great test.

    You are forgetting Kostya in his prime had very underrated handspeed coupled with excellent timing.

    Actually this doesn't need much explaining.. just watch the Judah fight.

    No.

    A lot of them are good boxing fans. People here just need to stop purposely trying to annoy them and **** them off.

    You overrate me.

    No, I don't overrate you, you are very humble.

    I did not say you are the best boxing fan, I said you are one of the best Pac fan POSTERS. You have been always centered... your posts are more into the topic and shows knowledge.....when you answer most of the time you go straight to the point.... you don't go around the bushes like others, you say what you think and I believe you know your stuff.

    Another great Pac fan poster that comes to mind is 'Dangerousity'..... he knows his stuff too, and his answers are pretty much straight to the point too....

    Many boxing fans (Pac fan, PBF fan or any other boxer fan)are good fans but no necessarily good/great posters... peace.
