    I'm a pac fan as you know but I'm telling you now, Pac wanted no part of Paul when he was on top at 147. It was the same time when Mosley destoyed Margarito and Roach was saying Shane would have to come down to 140-142 etc cos he was too big.

    Arum avoided Paul like the plague, make no mistake. Lara was one of the best ams of all-time and Martinez is a p4p top 3 so I cut Williams a little slack for his loses and 'wins' against those 2.

    You are right tho, Pac would destroy Paul now, but back when Pac had just moved up I think it would of been a 50/50.

    Ahhh another sheep. I bet you scored Kotelnick over Alexander too didn't ya? "Oh look he landed 1 punch, I'm gonna ignore the rest of the round where hes getting worked over hes already won this round in my eyes"

    I've said since the first Martinez fight, Pac would beat P-Dub because Williams is open to a southpaw. Wasn't hard to see when put together with the first Quintana fight.

    Two southpaw fights later and it's clear that is the case.

    You know there are criteria to scoring a fight? Yelping while punching the air is not one of them. There's a reason for that. Alexander was getting his ass kicked.

    Diaz Malignaggi I was not a robbery. I just re watched had it 7-5 paulie. 4-4 after 8 then paulie swept 3 of the last 4. Good fight. Paulie danced on him. 118-110 is criminal from van hoy. Paulies interview is still on point.

    Super Featherweight is not the worst division in boxing, and I will prove it with a jpab-esque mega thread.

    If you're going to base it on ''prospects'' like many people do you're gonna get an earful.

    It's based on Takahiro Ao being a G.

    It's between that and strawweight, they're just about even for the fighters at the pinnacle(mostly because Joyi's easily the best fighter out of the two divisions) of the two. But just because there's Broner, Mendez, Perez, etc and straw is stuck with fecking Hekkie Buddler doesn't exactly make it look all that good, because then the argument is based solely on the potential of the fighters in it.

    EDIT: Joyi>Aoh. No contest.

    I think it's clearly above minimumweight personally, and Super flyweight (which is falling to bits). I also have it above Cruiserweight.

    Uchiyama and Ao are quality champions.

    Edit: Got Super and Light mixed up.

    Uchiyama's overrated.

    The likes of Gonzalez and Solis(possibly those two solely) are keeping light-fly just about afloat. And they are fighters of real quality, I'd argue Solis is probably superior to everyone at 130, never mind Chocolatito.
