Pac is the reason why I become interested watching & researching old Classics. I'm trying to find out if there's one like him in the Past. So far haven't seen one.
How you can be sure??? Pac will never fight Saddler ever. What Pac can Prove is if he can beat a Dirty fighter. Beating Casa & Hatton will surely Change your perspective.
Check out a prime Roberto Duran at lightweight (De Jesus III) The same speed, ferocity, and animalistic ferosity of Pacquiao, but with more defense, better technical skills, and greater versatility.
Champ at 112, 122. 126 & 130??? Name me??? A former 112 champ.. and still knocking out 130 pounder & still willing to fight HOFamers up to 140 & 147???? Name me????
I know you won't agree with me, but I suggest you find videos of the following fighters who I would pick over Pacquiao at these weight classes. I'm missing a few, but you get the gist. 112: Mark Johnson, Yuri Arbachakov, Miguel Canto 122: Wilfredo Gomez, Erik Morales, Joan Guzman 126: Willie Pep, Sandy Saddler, Alexis Arguello, Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson, Henry Armstrong 130: Floyd Mayweather Jr, Alexis Arguello, Julio Cesar Chavez, Hector Camacho, Azumah Nelson, Flash Elorde, Genaro Hernandez, Oscar De La Hoya, Joan Guzman
And you can't be sure Pac would beat him based on this logic. Look, TIME OUT. I don't want this thread hijacked!
Duran is My Fav during his days. But he lost it after he quit in the SRL rematch. Pac never quits. Pac is more diciplined fighter than Duran. I have a Copy of that fight. Same Ferocity but not the same speed. Pac is Faster.
.............I get ALL my fights from Raging B()ll. He's the only one I buy from. You should see his list of fights, it's amazing. A boxing fan is like a kid in a candy store looking at it. You also get more for your money from him than anyone else. ACB, please let me know what you thought of Mando Ramos when you check out his fights. RB sent me a couple fights as add-ons from an order I sent in, and I now have him as a favorite. Not super amazing at any one aspect of the game, but he was pretty good in all aspects, and only his sensitive eyebrows and love of living prevented better results. When I order from him, I always just give him four or five I know I want and just say, "here's a few 'for sure's.' Just fill in the rest with some stuff you like." He always comes through, never been disappointed.
Ok PacD, I just made you your very own thread. This one here is devoted to talking old timers. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1622983#post1622983
............Hah! Ain't that one good? How about that ****ing cut Mando had..........rarely have I seen worse. And to think they were really good friends.
You know what, If Pac beat all top 135, & then Hatton, DLH & PBF. Then the only guys you can compare near to Pac is Armstrong & SRR. The guy who beat Yuri was the one Pac KOed at 112. Pep, Sanchez never left 126 Floyd ducks the best opponents. DLH never won the big one. The others, I don't need to mentioned. Pac already Passed them in the ATG rankings.
