    Boxing is a very old sport and there are guys that had over 75 pro fights by the time they were 24.

    Salvador Sanchez died at 23 years old and he's widely considered one of the greatest Mexican fighters (if not the greatest) in the history of the sport. I think him beating Gomez and Azumah Nelson by 23 is an incredible feat.

    Nonsense. The Barrera win was great - but those other two beat nobody, ever, to grant Pac ATG status off the back of beating them. Sasakul in particular - guy spent his whole life fighting bin men in Thailand.

    Pac is an ATG, but you don't get that off the back of one win, it's done over the course of a career. Is Junior Jones an ATG? He beat Barerra twice, afterall. The answer, of course, is no.

    I don't care about any of it, including the cult that you follow. All of it exist so people brains can feel better about dying. When in fact you don't know anything before you were born and you won't know anything when you leave. Make your mark now because the earth recycles itself every few million years. This all shall be washed away in fire like everything else that has come here. ie Dinosaurs

    I don't think he became an all time great until he got past Cotto.

    Then he became a legend.

    Do you believe in God/Higher power, or no God? Some people believe in God/Higher Power but have those views. For me I never reduced myself into being someone who needs a God to 'comfort me' in sad times or something. It's just an obvious thing for me and so I live with it.

    Barrera a champion at 126.

    Sasakul a champion in Thailand name me an American that has won in Thailand.

    He beat Lebwaba on 2 weeks notice he was a late replacement.Tell me a fighter that has won a belt on 2 weeks notice.

    Let's see he fought Margarito and broke his eye socket.Name me a feather weight that can break Margarito eye socket?

    KO of the year against hugton?Hugton has never been KTFO like that.

    4 fights with his nemesis JMM which he got schooled.This is the only tarnish in his otherwise illustrious career.

    Morales trilogy EPIC WAR i felt Morales was not same fighter after round 5 in their rematch.

    I feel like is he can beat 3 hungry young lions he will be ATG no doubt.

    Still fighting maybe until he is 50 is he going after Hopkins record?

    Those who believe in God are not concerned with evidence so it's a pointless argument.

    I think of it with the metaphor of water. Under different conditions it's a solid, a liquid, or a gas. But it's still one thing.

    There's an abundance of evidence. It's extreme skeptics who aren't concerned with evidence because they won't believe no matter how rational a case is made or what evidence is put before them. A reflexive skepticism is as bad as an extreme credulity when analyzing facts and determining truth. We are all called upon to seek truth and shun error, unfortunately some people are so quick to seek truth at any cost that they make numerous errors; while other people are so afraid of committing any error that they will not accept the truth.

    No, there is not. If there were evidence it would just be called evidence, not faith. It's called 'faith' for a reason. Namely, that there is no evidence.

    Sasakul never beat anybody? Have you lost you're mind? His best career win shits all over Mayweather's best career win.

    Sasakul beat ATG Yuri Arbachakov. One of the top 5 wins over of 90s. Hands down.

    So don't give me that junk that Sasakul never beat anybody.

    And Pacquiao beat Barrera in 2003. Barreras two best victories came in 2001 and 2004. Right between the Pac loss. That's a legendary win.
