    Every ****ing day.... My all time favourite fighter by miles .. You either got to watch technical greatness and possibly the best combination puncher of all time ...or the war machine

    Either way he gave it everything he had guy was 100% heart, balls and skill. . Shame he lost his legs at a relatively youthful age aswell.. . I watched him fight Julio gervacio and the distances he was covering and fleetness of foot to land some right hand shots was amazing

    I'd agree with him getting a little overrated in h2h match ups, his stylistic kryptonite was someone that made him come to you, he had fits with Julian wheeler early career,.

    the John fights a bad example though,,I thought jmm had that comfortably and the Bradley fight he was pretty much at the end and in his 5th weight division and while someone could say its the fight after his greatest win he arguably didn't look that great in the 4th pacman fight

    Agreed! Amazing fighter with an amazing legacy! He’s the reason why I got into boxing in the first place and win good reason. I will say that he was a bit of a baby every time he lost but every fighter has their thing.

    Awesome username by the way!

    My favorite Mexican boxer. Personally, I think he is the most well-balanced Mexican boxer ever. Excellent technical ability, great in offense and defense, brave, deadly counters, powerful and KO artist.

    Only exceptional boxer can defeat him. And I'm proud one of those few people is my boxing hero, Chris John. Sadly, many people disagree that JMM actually lost that fight.

    Had a drug supplier in his team and attempted to hide that fact, then the sudden pimples (you don’t get that from weights) which he never had in his career previously, it’s pretty disingenuous to just discount these things.

    I try to see it impartially, but there’s just 0 evidence for Pac, not even a smoking gun and they tried so hard to find it. I remember the supposed “emails” which never surfaced.

    I would say that he was possibly and maybe even probably just because I think all the top atheletes are on it.

    However, Thomas hausser revealing article on Morales and Floyd getting caught then getting it swept under the rug, IVgate, hiring heredia then concealing that fact (why try hide it if not guilty), Charlo bro’s. Seems pretty obvious to me, those were clear smoking guns.

    I find the floyd situation so very ironic. I always thought he was on it, and that’s why he was adamant Pac was on it, he probably knew all top fighters were on it and he wanted to stack the deck in his favour by not allowing his opponent to drug but he can. And he can because he had USADA and Nevada in his pocket.

    I mean the guy gets all the injections and iv in his body but Pac can’t take a pain killer shot on his shoulder? Next fight should be in general santos city to keep it fair.

    That **** is hilarious but I don’t agree with muscle memory thing. Muscle memory is only to remember the movements. If the muscle composition isn’t there, it’s not gonna go as fast or as powerful. When people get off the peds they lose their gains. Just look at bodybuilders.

    Not really, to be honest. Never was a big fan, and besides being Pacs kryptonite for some reason, kinda always thought he was a bit overrated. Unpopular opinion, I know.

    PCT -- Post Cycle Therapy, if done properly allows you to keep close to all your gains if not all of them. That combined with the muscle memory of repetitive boxing movements and it's not difficult to imagine passing 5 VADA UA's, especially now that he is on the decline.

    I absolutely miss Marquez. That left uppercut and combination punching. Great fighter. Very entertaining and highly skilled. One of my all time favorites
