Al Bernstein: Pacquiao May Be Best Ever Under 135 and I can back it up w/ strong case

Everyone Manny beat under 135 Duran would have beat! Duran beats Hatton and DLH so thats where that hypothesis ends for me. Pac doesnt beat Sugar Ray leanord at 147 so there you have it Bernsteim while wise is wrong. He probably got carried away.

 

Thing withe the 80's fab 4. Their fight rotation is even. The current era's fab 4, didn't fight each other enough, i think it's more on JMM fighting on lower weight than MAB/Morales during the start of their peak.

 

fight or round?

 

duran was never a flyweight now a featherweight champ

 

Packy is nt yet done.

 

Pac will win his next 4 fights before he retires.

 

:good

 

Didn't Pac say that he will retire after one more fight. Anyway, DDiaz KO 9, ODH TKO 8, Hatton KO 2.

1 more I guess. LOL but I doubt Pac will actually retire after his fight on October.

 

Bernstein must have been sniffing glue when he wrote that.

How a historian can forget fighters like Langford, Benny Leonard, McLarnin, Pep, Duran, Barney Ross etc etc, is completely beyond me.

Even Whitaker and Mayweather have accomplished more, without question.

I hope he rectifies his statemets when his brain has ceased frying or that his fellow historians put him in his place - quicksmart.

 

not doubting you but could you expand on how whitaker and floyd have done more, you just sound convinced and i am not. im neutral up to this point.

 

He beat Marquez twice. The draw was a win for Pac. A Judge scored the fight 10-7 instead of 10-6. Pac would have won the draw too.

So 3 words do not say different I'm afraid. Official records are what count.

 

HA. I love the way you set youself up for if Pacquaio beat Mayweather with the 'prime' statement.

Then you can say 'but Mayweather had a 2 year layoff...he wasn't PRIME, Mayweather would have destroyed Pac in his Prime'

I'm sick of this sh*t. No one gets any credit for everything there's always an excuse.

 

Whitaker is a Top 3 lightweight and Floyd is arguably the GOAT @ 130. Pac most likely doesn't rate in the top 10 of any class he has ever fought in.

 

But, we all know Floyd was considerably better at super-feather and far more dangerous.

 

Exactly it causes pure hate. No one is giving Pac credit for his wins. I wish people would stop hyping Pac up so much as it cause people like you to hate him which means his ACTUAL achievements are taken apart.

Everyone calm down and stop hyping. No one will know if how good he is until he's retired but FOR F*CKS SAKE GIVE THE GUY SOME CREDIT FOR SOME GREAT GREAT FIGHTS.
