    It is hard to be a triple champ, especially when you're not cherry picking your way there. It's that kind of ambition that deserves to be applauded, even if it's unsuccessful.

    As for the fight itself, I was impressed that Agbeko stuck to his gameplan like he did and didn't get thrown off by Vic's unorthodox style. This was probably the best I've seen King Kong in terms of head movement and maintaining a more patient, boxing style, and when he did get hit, he handled it very well. On Vic's part, he just never adjusted.

    You can't avoid it because Darchinyan is a Pac wannabe. He fell short, though.

    Barkley was a legit 3 division champ. WBC at Middleweight, IBF at Super Middleweight, WBA at Light Heavyweight. If you ask me, he should be in the Hall of Fame. He wouldn't be the worst guy to get in there.

    ja ja ja :lol: Let's see the match-ups of Darchinyan against the current bantam champs...

    Darchinyan vs. Hasegawa - Darchi will be schooled and KO'ed here

    Darchinyan vs. Anselmo Moreno - Darchi will be schooled and KO'ed here

    Darchinyan vs. Montiel - Darchi will probably be KO'ed here

    Darchinyan vs. Agbeko - Darchi was schooled here :lol:

    Darchinyan has no way to go... He will be either schooled or KO'ed...

    he didn't fail miserably. He lost a close, slightly controversial split decision in the champion's back yard. Against someone who himself is a 3-time, 2-weight world champion.

    I think he's pretty good. His KO of Alcine who had just beat Simms was impressive. He also had 10lbs on Margarito and the decision was controversial. Both the stoppage and the scores were dodgy and the fight was in Puerto Rico.

    Some losses are worse than others. This wasn't really that bad a loss for Margarito.

    pac was a underdog against sasakul, legwaba and barrera...I bet he is not only 2-1 underdog in those fight. He was atleast 4-1 underdog against those guys

    SPECIFICALLY, who are those boxers and what divisions Vic should have fought to obtain the 7 titles.
    Btw, Agbeko is not the best bantam champ, IMO. He is the typical David Diaz in the fray. Anyway, be specific to back up your absurd claim. :lol:

    Agbeko is the David Diaz in the group but he schooled Darchi. It only shows that bantam is too much for him. He should go back to 115 where he belongs. He's too old already to go up in weight and win another division title.

    :rofl Are you trying to say PAC isn't as good or has faught tougher opponents than Vic?:rofl:rofl:rofl The PAC haters are just as bad as the huggers. Why can't there just be a reasonable medium regarding PAC's greatness.:patsch Vic is a great fighter, he just has a style that has holes in it plus he hit the wall in terms of how much weight he can put on and still carry his power. It happens.....But lay off the crack....and I say crack b/c if you are insinuating that Vic is somehow better or has proven himself more than PAC you have got to be a crack head.
