    Yea he would have got better nutrition and be 8inches taller, 8inches wider and bigger than Tyson, although he may not have the same access to steroids

    no! pac's attitude towards life, boxing and spirituality wouldn't be as it is if he was born in the US of A. imo, his dedication and the sacrifices he makes in training is rooted in the fact that he had virtually nothing growing up in the philippines which makes him work doubly hard for what he wants.

    he would still be a good boxer if he was born in the usa but not as great as he is now.

    if pac was born in the us, he wouldn't have been a boxer. he probably would have just been a regular person. i remember seeing a video where they interviewed people that knew him before he got famous. one of his teachers said, the day he quit school, made her extremely disspointed because he was a very intelligent, dilligent, and well behaved student.i guess he applied these traits to learning boxing as well.

    he was huge before he got to championship level. in america he would of had a paced career wouldnt of been given the fights that galvanised him into a destroyer.

    No if you consider other great smaller fighter before pac that were born in the US none have ever over shadowed a great heavy weights.

    The heavy weights have always been the Pride of boxing the belt that everyone would love to have even the lil guys .. If heavy weight type tyson fighter were around today, both floyd and Pac would take a back seat too him.

    If he was as wild outside of the ring as Tyson, he might be as big in the public eye.

    If Ricky Hatton was as good as Manny Pacquiao he'd be bigger than Tyson in America and everywhere else.
