    Forget the belts i don't give **** on them.
    On just one year he:
    defeated jmm via sd at 130 with the wbc and ring belts
    ko'ed diaz at 135 with the wbc belt
    ko'ed hoya at 147.

    All in one year.
    Great great accomplishment.

    Add the 140 belt by hatton next year.

    Is he the henry armstrong of this decade? I think he is. Only jmm, diaz, and pbf stands a chance on their respective divisions imo that's why i don't give a damn to those belts and i am willing to bet that pac would ko jmm on their 3rd fight!

    But back to the topic is he or is he not? Your views..

    But that is already an accomplishment. Let's not forget where the odds favored itself before the fight!
    And pac is 6x champ in 5 different weight divisions too counting the mab fight at 126.
    That makes him champ at
    112 wbc
    122 ibf
    126 ring
    130 ring and wbc
    135 wbc
    147 no belt but imagine if hoya has one now? This win right here is more better than having a belt! Don't pay attention to those ****in sanctioning bodies!
    140 belt from hatton next year
    140 megabuck fight with pbf. Does this require a belt.? If pac wins the accomplishment is waaay better than mere belts! I'm talking about elite competition!

    See?

    Oscar is a legend but champion of nothing. Beating Margarito would make him the new Armstrong, good luck Manny.

    Not quite. He's the modern interpretation. I dont think Pac could beat the Marg, Cotto, PW, Berto, and Moseley as they have speed and stamina, which DLH seriously lacks.

    However, I think its about as close to Henry Armstrong as we're going to see

    Don't worry. I heard personally that the team is willing to fight margo if pbf don't come outta retirement after pac,if ever, beats hatton.
    Just wait and he will be like henry, dude.

    The parralells are there.

    Im now convinced that when he retires he'll be up there with Armstrong, Robinson, Duran, Greb etc.

    Im no Pac lover ive had my doubts, I was positive DLH would stop him and although it wasnt a title fight it was a tremendous scalp!

    There is plenty of talent at lightweight/light welter he CV can only get better.

    Well everyone said Kostya Tzsyu was shot :yep

    People will always claim 'shot' but Oscar did look like ****, not sure it was Manny who made him look that way either. But props to Manny he did his job.

    The guy was clearly shot why argue otherwise? Do you think people who look back at that fight in 5-10 years time would regard that as a non shot Oscar?

    I don't think he'll ever surpass Armstrong, but he's certainly the modern version. I think head to head Pacquiao could definitely beat him.
