    Mate, it's because your poll options suck, or just not clear enough. Lots of people think RJJ was all three. I'm sure there are several examples of a fighter being at least two of the options if not all three.

    Pac is great fighter, but has cherrypicked and if its discovered he started using roids later in his career, then he can be considered all three.

    a bit of cherry picking put in with being a great. He cherrypicked hard above 130 in order to keep the gravy train rollin' for his Papa Arum.

  8. Turbo who should he of fought above 130, and remember timeline and reaching 150 so you got 2.5 years.

    Manny is an elite boxer. Styles make fights and when you pair him against stationary fighters or fighters who can't follow or execute a gameplay he simply out works them and he breaks them down.
    What Marquez did to Manny the last fight was embarrassing. He will always give Manny trouble because he is smart fighter. He keeps a good distance, faints and keeps Manny out of rhythm so much and PAC has no answer for it. The only thing Manny can do is desperately over extend and throw sloppy combos.
    You pair Manny with a counter puncher who has good footwork, faints moves his head and Mannys brain shuts down.
    Floyd would put on a boxing clinic vs Manny and this is coming from a guy who appreciates a talent like Manny is.

    any legit champ at 154??? are you crazy???

    manny's highest weigh in is only 144, fight night is only 148.

    diaz was a tuneup for the higher weight.

    if you can be objective with how it was during that time, cotto was the obvious choice from the beginning. snane never had a chance of landing that fight.

    ..you really can't name anybody he should have fought instead of who he fought.

    He cherry picked everyone I listed. he had the power to make other fights happen but he took the easy road.
