I really debated it, Pater. For me his last 3 fights (I've said this a few times before) are bigger wins (assuming you think he beat Pac in the 2nd fight) than Pac. I gave Pacquaio the edge on careeer CV in the end:good.
i just think Pac has achived so much more than JMM recently. Mannys went from Fly to LWW holding linear titles in 5 weights i think JMM won both fights but i cant justify ranking him 1
Ive debated the whole JMM P4P number one thing too often, made threads on it too Manny got beaten by JMM, fought a corpse in Hoya, and a very faded Hatton who's punch resistance had copletely gone (badly hurt by Lazcano of all people) Meanwhile JMM beats Manny, moves up out of his natural divisoin, and stops two of the most dangerous fighters around Its so cut and dry that JMM is the King Dont really have a top 15 Kos, only happy with the top 5
JMM's +130 resume >>>>>>>>>> Pac's IMO. I had him beating Pac as well, but anyways. For once I chose to be conformist.
Radab, look at Pacquiaos achievements he has made they are unprecedented in afew years time i can see Pacquaio making top 10 ATG lists. What he has done is simply amazing. In my mind JMM is the better fighter at 126 through to 135. Mannys has just kept going.
Brilliant. I could team up with you on the general, radab:good. I had this exact same arguement with some cretin there the other week. Obviously I was called a nuthugger as well as he had nothing rational to debate it with:deal.
glad you share the same point of view Losfer :good as for a top 10, hmmm lets think.... 6. Mosley 7. Kessler 8. Wlad 9. Lopez 10. Pavlik Froch deserves a shout and i cant stand Wlad, humungously boring and cowardly, but he's effective and dominant in his division. his cowardly style works
why is Lopez being so highly ranked round here (not picking on you Radab) Im a huge Juanman fan but he aint done enough
P4P isn't just based on records, its based on other factors, including how good their performances have been. JuanMa has been destructive to say the least, apart from against his last opponent, the awkward Lonchi (sp?), yet he still did a good, effective job on him.
still Lopez aint done enough surely P4P should also be based on quality of opponents aswell, Lopez is lacking there.
