    I feel like Pac is still to high, but fair enough and props for going on a limb and sharing it!

    Then you obviously didn't follow his career Mark with a statement like this, because Pac did exactly that and Pac was active and fought everyone all the way up .. It doesn't get any better than JMM, MAB, Morales, and PAC all fighting each other and multiple times … except JMM and Morales missing ..

    Oh it does. Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Arguello, Benitez, Pryor, Cervantes, Palomino, Cuevas, Gomez, Sanchez ect

    Pac definitely doesn't get through that era like he did his own

    Ya I know that, I wasn't referring to that... All those guys you mentioned didn't even fight each other and multiple times

    I agree. And he's got 71 fights and being that successful.... That's why I say Activity with competition gets so overlooked here on this forum. I'm not going to give another ATG another free 20 or 30 fights and assume he's going to be successful. You have to earn that in my book

    I agree. He earned it. If someone told me Pacman could be the greatest ever the thought cannot be completely put down. He was that good and he fought everyone big and small and won. Many will mention the Marquez and Mayweather fights, but everyone has a loss here and there, but he fought them and Floyd was later on and Marquez also as far as the knockout. What a resume. What skill. He is overlooked as far as one of the real all time greats.

    Its a sus opinion of Lach. Up there with Graziano stopping Hearns. Or Barney Ross outclassing Jose Napoles.

    Cotto & Thurman too, I hope he can keep the clock back long enough to beat either Spence or Crawford (or both!), just to see it happen.

    Definitely, plus the Pacman is a true warrior.
