    I wasn’t aware you can dominate an opponent and be asked by your daddy why you fighting so damm scared lmao.

    FYI I probably grew up to the closest thing to a “hood” in UK which is south London.

    His father was trying to motivate him that was after the 4th round a round in which pac won. He outlanded pac in total punches and in power punches landed, again how can you run and accomplish this?

    Well in a game if “it” you can tap someone then RUN. That’s what floyd does, point scoring, not fighting or boxing.

    Exactly, people need to chill out on Tank. He's already a 22-0, and a 2-time world champ at 24.
    Let's not revise history, Pac was hardly a ATG at 24. He was 33-2-1 and had only fought in the US twice. He was still at 122 and had just come off a draw with Agapito Sanchez who was 31-9-2 when he turned 24. It was after 2006, when he beat Morales in the rematch and went on a tear that moved him into ATG status. Right around the same time his head started growing like a balloon.

    He was an ATG at 24. He had knocked out the top man at 112, 122 and 126. And the guy at 126 was an ATG.

    Let’s also not forget that he came from
    The Philippines and has to fight outside of his country on 2 weeks notice. Far far far less protected than Davis.

    He was way less protected. Pacquiao in his first fight in America was a bigger underdog than Douglas was against Tyson. You couldn't even place a bet on Pacquiao, they wouldn't let you. And he had 2 weeks to prepare, he flew over the America in that timeframe. And then he dominated and knocked the best fighter in the division.

    Pacquiao is without a doubt a legend of this sport. He did things that nobody has even thought about doing. It's amazing.

    Agree to disagree on ATG status at the time. Splitting hairs, we all know Pac's resume. Peace.

    Crawford has decisioned the top guy at 135 and 140. If he stopped an ATG at 147 (his 3rd weight class) like Tito Trinidad in his prime he would be classed as an ATG.

    That is what Pacquiao did, except he stopped the top men instead of winning a decision.

    No, I agree with everything you're saying. I just generally like to wait until a fighters career plays itself out before bestowing ATG status on anyone. I think we hear people throw that around a little to often and 24 is a little early to anoint someone an ATG in my opinion, again we're just kind of splitting hairs here. There's certainly no denying Pac's place in boxing history.

    Quit trying to grasp at straws as if it means something. This is irrelevant PBF beat Pac going away. He out worked and out landed Pac in power punches, it was easy work. Maidana gave him a harder nights work than Pac did let that sink in. He gave Pac a boxing lesson that night just like I said for years.

    Wasn't false at the time I posted. But this is a welcome turn of events.

    That's true, but in this case they want Farmer. Before Tank made the fight that just happened, he had an interview saying what the palns were for this year. SO far, they have been following it.

    Actually it was. The plan to fight Farmer was planned at the beginning of this year. In an interview earlier this year, Tank had said he was going to fight two stay busy fights and then a big name fight. The two stay busy fights were for inactivity from last year. He fought his two stay busy fights, and now just called out Farmer. He did exactly what he said he was going to do.
