Pacman may be a nice guy and good fighter ( under the right circumstances). But, yes he is overrated. These catchweights and Fighting Floyd's leftovers and winning questionable decisions doesn't cut it for me.
No he is not. He is a damn good fighter. However his fans are f**King annoying and most of the dumb as hell. Pac really needs a better trainer bc he still have a lot of fundelmental flaws. However he has God gifted speed, power, and conditioning that is too much for most 90% of the boxers today. Plus he is pretty smart fighter too so that helps. Also i wouldn't write Pac off when pitting him against the like of Pep, whitaker who i think he will ko both. Bring on the hate now! I think A lot of classic boxers are severely overated.
I'm not sure how much of that came from God! He evidently had a lot of help from Pfizer, and various back-room labs.
Yea his refusal to take random tests are a bit fishy but he had killer power and speed early in his career and still does so who knows.
yes i agree. that tinted his career a bit too. THe thing is i think he would have won drained or not draining his opponents but i'm sure it would be a much competitive match if they are not drained. Most of that getting the edge crap comes from Roach anyways.
He's great fighter, but he is a little bit overrated, but I thinks it's because of the catchweight fights.
For a fighter who comes to fight at around 148 as a welterweight and do the thing he did to Margarito, Cotto, Mosley and guys who are way bigger than him, he is really overrated. For example,if you take Clottey to fight Cotto, I am sure that clottey will make Cotto quit ------- or not . Or incase, take for example Bradley, since he is almost exactly Pac's size and fight Cotto or Margarito or Clottey,I am sure Bradley will inflict so much damage to these fighters that what Pac accomplished is nothing out of ordinary. Infact,why would someone accuse Pac of PEDS when anyone can do what he did at welterweight while weighing probably less than what junior welters weigh at fight time. If you take Gayweather against these fighters, I am sure that he could do what Pac did to them. Or NOT!
