    Yeah, it's as good as most people make out. I'm not a super-fan but his resume can't really be faulted.

    Tunnel vision much? Rigo has a better resume than Pacman? Do you have a pulse?

    How can he get a bye for fighting vargas ?
    He could have dared to be great ala brook vs ggg.even in losing he would have gotten credit

    ESPN and the RING have more credibility than anyone here your opinion is irrelevant what they say will go down in history.

    PBF UD Pac period:deal: I sleep well at night the same can't be said of you otherwise you would have gotten over the events of May 2nd 2015 and still wouldn't be posting this trash.:wave:

    PBF is greater and better than Pac this is already been proven. You can't go life and death with JMM for 4 fights and be greater than PBF. You can't lose to PBF in fight PBF didn't even get out of first gear in and be better than him.:deal:

    Bull****. Complete and total bull****.

    112 title. Sasakul was the best flyweight in the world.

    122 title. Ledwaba was the best 122 pounder in the world.

    126. Barrera was the best Featherweight in the world.

    130. Morales was the best 130 pounder in the world.

    135. Diaz was not the best Lightweight, but that divison had nobody.

    140. Hatton was the best 140 pounder in the world.

    147. Cotto was the best Welterweight or maybe Margarito was. Mayweather's best win over a natural welterweight in their prime was Baldomir. Mayweather unproven at 147.

    154. Margarito was unlikely the best at that class, but you never know.

    In those lower weight classes especially he had an absurd level of competition.

    JMM is greater and better than JLC. Look what JLC did to Floyd.

    Its been said that Floyd never beat an elite fighter in their prime. Pac did it against Barrera, Marquez, Cotto and Sasakul. That's 4 ****ing times. Floyd never did.

    What am I missing? In a thread about resumes, someone made a comment asking about who was better than Manny in the last 30 years. As the subject of the thread is about his resume, you typed out an awful list in response.
    What did I misread?

    You're right. Pac had two HOF careers. The first was against great men his own size. Barrera, Marquez and Morales.

    The second HOF career was giving up massive size and destroying Hatton, Margarito, Cotto and Hatton.

    There is no better resume of the last 30 years than Pac. Nobody else even comes close.

    Morales and Jones Jr. Have top heavy resumes. Wins over Pac and Barrera. And wins over Hopkins and Toney. But lack the depth of Pac.

    Mayweather, Hopkins and Calzaghe had longevity, but lacked the signature wins.

    Nope.
