    Barrera was one of the best p4p at the time, people give him so much props for beating hamed and morales prior to this fight, but when pac blows right through him, hes washed up, haha, excuses from a troll. Pac has one of the best resumes in the last 30 years and anyone that disagrees is an idiot.

    Now that you have done discrediting him, tell me who did roy jones ever beat from 1995-2002? Oh yeah, nobody after nobody after nobody.

    Better yet, what is the best win trinidad has? Vargas, o wow bravo, i must be impressed.

    Pacquaiop is also 20 pound naturally smaller than Mayweather, jackass.

    Go name another featherweight champ that is now beating welterweights, i'll give you all day to answer that. I love it how pac haters ignore he came from the lower weights and fought there until 2008.

    It will be a new form of basketball....with Tito bouncing Pacman repetitively off the canvas.

    Yes i can agree, Marciano is very overrated. However, pac is legit and one of the best ever.

    So basically Ken, unless a fighter beats the level of competition that is absolutely outstanding beyond belief, then we should refrain from giving him any credit. I get it. You're pissing me off with your attitude in general now as well, stop embarrassing yourself.

    Pacquaio, much more speed, better footwork, better boxer, and he has the power to hurt Tito. I think his chin looked good against Cotto to, who granted isn't as powerful as Tito, but Tito is a bit of an accumulation guy himself. The southpaw angle may give problems, it did give Tito a few problems against Whitaker. Tito's own athleticism evens things up, Pacquaio has never fought an athlete like Tito before

    I'd go tentatively with the Pacman

    Got to go with Trinidad in this one Pac is alot faster but has to get in range to get off and Tito has fast hands himself and Pacs defense means he'll get hit at some point and most likely hurt and when that happens Titos one of the best at closing the show.

    I tentatively agree with this theory. I think very highly of Trinidad at 147. Don't think he was quite as plodding as he was at higher weights. Pac has made guys look old (Hoya, Mosely) and very limited (Clottey). I expect he'd give Trinidad lots of trouble. We've not seen Pac hit by the likes of Trinidad yet. It's possible Trinidad wouldn't catch him, but until I see a little more from Pac at 147, I'll go with Tito. Great tribute to Pac IMO that this seems to be a tossup.

    The long range left hook is the Southpaw's nitemare.

    And Tito has got one of the best.

    Now every smartass here will say Tito no contest , Tito KO1 , but Tito's overrated power relied both on his size and reach advantages he had especially in the WW division , but also on another thing : the hardened wraps
    , which make punches harder.
    Without them , Pacquiao would have done an Oscar on him .

    Nobody did that what you said, so there mustn't be any 'smartasses' around here, so your little dig at the forum's posters is void.

    Manny Pacquaio's movement would certainly of given him problems, could he keep it up though? when Tito got in that robot stalker mode he was pretty relentless, plus he could punch like a mule, and as started, he was! a terrific finisher.

    Also, Pacquaio has no glove defense, he only uses his legs, thats why Clottey managed to hit him at will with the lead rights, not to mention Clotttey was also able to catch him on the tail end of those punches because he has longer arms, as does Tito.


    Now i think about it, although Pac could pose massive problems with his movement, i just dont see how he would avoid contact consistently enough against the the longer armed Tito who could hit like train and put intense pressure on when he got into his rhythm, i see Tito getting outboxed early but him catching upto Manny and taking him out.

    I know Joppy stood infront of Tito, but look what Tito did to Joppy, that is how devastating this man could be, he also beat Reid, Vargas, Camacho and Carr who by most peoples most estimation where superior fighters technically.

    How much did DLH land on Pacquiao? How often did Tito hurt DLH?

    One of the biggest fallacies I think that goes around in boxing is: "He has massive power, and at some point he's going to land, and it'll all be over." No puncher can load up full power on every shot unless the guy standing in front of him is sub-par. Tito will land, but his window of opportunities will be so small that, combined with Pacquiao's movement, he's not going to be getting the kind of leverage to put his lights out. You keep a guy off balance and he can't hurt you.
