There is a list that goes like this there have been 3 lineal Champs when only one belt and those two fighters were Bob Fitzsimmons and Henry Armstrong Robinson come close to holding 3 but lost to Maxim at Light Heavy while being Middleweight Champ and Welterweight Champ. Having said that Manny is the first since these guys.
Judah would bust a DLH and just get handled and have his soul taken away...Judah's confidence and mental ability to stay in a fight is VERY poor...I think if it was pre-Tsyzu then possibly it would've been fireworks...but he's a bit broken now...he needs to climb a steep hill to redemption before being mentioned to Pac Pac vs. Hatton or Pac vs. Holt/Bradley are great fights in which i think he can handle Pac vs. Torres...not sure if he can carry that one out...
I understand that there is a lot of Pac love going around, but I truly cant fathom him being in the top 10 greatest fighters of all time.
Lets say Pac beats Hatton next year and wins four or five successful title defenses at 140 over the next two years, how would you rank Pac?
top 30 ish.... maybe 40 ish.... when I think of the 10 greatest, I tend to think; (just random) Armstrong, Robinson, Duran, Langford, Charles, B. Leonard, Louis, Greb, Fitzsimmons, Pep, SRL, Ali...... not Pacquiao.
Good thread Boppa, I think Pac should definitely be considered amongst the all time greats of the sport.
he beat over the hill barerra and morales and hoya. marquez was prime but manny was arguably outboxed.
Why does Mayweather get so much hate when he too has beaten four HOF fighters in ODH, Hatton, Castillo and Corrales?
Hatton, Castillo and Coorales are NOT hall of famers. What the hell has Hatton done to warrant that, getting knocked uncouncious???
