    We are talking about the more impressive victory. Both Pavlik and Pascal are clearly better fighters. If you can't see how KELLY PAVLIK in his prime and Pascal are BETTER than Ortiz. It's pointless.

    Why's that? I love Bernard, I think he's a special fighter, a real throwback but Pacquiao's resume is godly.

    I mean if you really want to go there, then lets go. List Bhop's biggest wins compare to Floyd/Pac's.

    No I was referring to your comment a bout how Victor ****ing Ortiz is a better win as compare to Prime Pavlik and Prime Pascal.

    I don't understand how ANYONE can rate Floyd's win over Ortiz as better than a 43 and 46 year old Bernard's win over PRIME Pavlik and Pascal..

    At every angle Floyd and Pac will smoke Bhop. I welcome anyone to the challenge.

    I see Floyd as the best fighter of the last 20 years, then Pacquiao second, with Jones and Hopkins as numbers 3 and 4 respectively

    Regardless of what you think Pavlik or Pascal is better than Ortiz or not bhop still loses badly against Pac/Floyd in terms of accomplishments.

    If you say so. Don't forget to remember this thread in 10 years when a broke Floyd and Pacquaio are getting knocked out by SMW'S for a paycheck.
    Than as you watch a 46 year old Floyd being carried out remember what 46 year old Hopkins did to Pascal.

    Ask yourself who dominate early, mid, and late in their careers?

    Floyd was a badass from the amatuer/bronze medalist and crown as champ as a pro at 21.
    Pac was crown champ at 20.
    Bhop was 30 years old and fought a vacant title.

    You keep saying it's not impressive that 40+ year old Bernard beating up Tarver-Pascal-Pavlik.

    Why is that not impressive? It's not as if Bernard started his career at age 30. His body got a lot of wear and tear going into the Pavlik fight already. Let's see what Floyd will do at age 43( If he's not dead)

    I don't understand why you focus on greatest just bc Bhop's age. It is nobody's fault that he was a late bloomer. You should look at their career as a whole.
