    Roach has a knack of making Pac looked bad and overrated by exposing Pac's opponents weakness. Sometimes, I am tempted to think that this is intentional so that Pac's opponents will understimate him. Good strategy I might say..

    if this question was asked before the respective fights, I have no doubt most people would be saying Pac winning over Oscar would be a better win by far since Pac was a huge underdog against Oscar while Floyd was a huge favorite over Shane.

    With the benefit of hindsight though, Oscar really did look like **** while Shane, while looking a bit like **** himself, still looked better than Oscar did. So I went with the win over shane being better. Still, Pac's win was still a huge upset so that still counts for something I think.

    I would say so too.
    The entire world was saying mayweather was scared of mosley and wouldnt fight him, I mean the entire world. Its like they all forgot about Pac and rather see mosley mayweather (like Myself) check out the youtube vids at the time frame responces. Everybody thought Mayweather was scared. Many Mayweather fans said mosley cant walk through floyd punches and would win, I tho Mosley would ko him in 3 I cant see many 147 pounder taking Mosley shots flush, and floyd already being born the smaller man
    Big Big win for mayweather

    Pac takes on a bigger man the golden while dehydrated Pac still beat the Golden boy anybody that beats the Golden boy cannapults into superstardom. Pac needed that fight

    Forbes was NO WHERE near competitive! You need to watch the fight before making uneducated statements kid. He never made DLH look stupid. He landed a few shots...VERY few. But the ones he did had a signifigant effect. But he didn't pick up ONE round in that fight with Oscar.

    Floyd's win was definitly better over JMM...but seriously. JMM was a light weight and Floyd had all the advantages in younth, speed, hieght, reach and power. He didn't even make the efforts to make the contracted weight even though he was facing the smaller guy.

    If Oscar was shot when Steve got to him he was shot when Floyd faced Oscar. Being Shot doesn't mean that you take more damage on punches landed...it just means you TAKE MORE SHOTS PERIOD.:rofl And Steve didn't land that many punches on DLH. PAC did...but PAC is superior to Stevie.

    Floyd couldn't even inflict the damage Steve was able to do on DLH.

    DLH would have dominated steve in his prime...I think he would have beaten PAC and Floyd as well at 147. Based on DLH being "SHOT TO BITS" and still losing a very close split decision to Floyd....I'd say yea.....DLH in his prime beats Floyd without question.

    Both were blown up wins. Good wins, but no the kind of "career defining" wins they are made out to be. Still, Ill go with Pac-ODLH as the better of the two.
