    Yeah i know but i mean in general in this thread people are pitting ATG's against non ATG's.

    For example Sanchez vs McGuigan.

    At Featherweight i think Sanchez wins a very clear UD, Pacquiao was more one dimensional at Featherweight. Sanchez does what Marquez does in the 1st fight vs Pacquiao without getting floored multiple times, Sanchez has a better chin than Marquez, more fluid style, better footwork, more power in the right hand, and of course he's master counter puncher like Marquez.

    Pac dropped Marquez 3x in the first round and blew out Barrera. That’s no mismatch in Sanchez’s favor.

    As i said "Sanchez has a better chin than Marquez" take away knockdowns and Marquez wins a very clear UD. Sanchez does what Marquez does in the fight but better, and without getting floored 3 times and wins a very clear UD.

    The Pacquiao at Lightweight/Jr Welterweight is a different prospect, but were talking about the more raw one dimensional Pacquiao at Featherweight who was left hand happy.

    Sanchez would make him over commit get him out of position with his footwork, and land laser light right hand counter punches which would have more effect on Pacquiao, as Sanchez is a better right hand puncher than Marquez.

    Marquez never even got stopped and became 147 champ. Signs are negative.

    He gets knocked down and hurt quite often i would say his chin is above average but not granite. But his recovery powers are great he's a bit like Tyson Fury in that regard, both men can be floored and hurt but they're very good at recovering.

    Sanchez on the other hand has a fantastic chin he was never visibly hurt in any of his championship fights, and fought two ATG punchers in Gomez, Lopez x2.

    There’s a difference between Ali not having the speed of foot in the seventies and him tiring after 2 or 3 rounds, I don’t know what version of Ali you’ve been watching.
    That simply never happened in his entire career apart from the shell of a fighter who fought Holmes.

    Yes this is correct.
    *Acutally i meant Ali will slow down after 2-3 Rounds, decrease his pace etc.

    Mosely had a phenomenal set of whiskers though. Not saying he would take clean shots from Jackson but just saying...

    Wlad Klitschko v Rocky Marciano.

    This match would end boxing and be an irreversible insult to the pride of Guidos throughout the Eastern Seaboard. Dr. Melfi would be booked into the 23rd century.

    Hearns vs Mayweather Jr and Pac and Canelo.
    Same with R. Leonard vs those 3
    And R. Robinson
    Tyson vs Dempsey , J. Louis and Wilder ( Though theirs nothing great about Wilder. )
    Leonard or Hearns vs A.Pryor ( Love Pryor, but he would've been overwhelmed against those two, it was a blessing he didn't. )
    Hagler vs any Middleweight that came at him. Walker, Greb, Zale, Graziano, Tiger.... Any of them.

    Depends if Mosely was juiced or not I think. He was eventually proven to be a peds abuser don't forget. I'll never forget his face when they confronted him with the receipts. LOL he had to come clean then
