    So you pick out points you may think are weak but you chose to ignore the first half of the post with no rebuttal at all. :huh You understood what i was saying and im not saying Trevor Berbick is better by no means bro.

    First off, you come off as a complete ***** every time you write "azz". Secondly, who the **** cares if Pac wasn't considered an atg 11 years ago. He was 19 years old and nowhere near his prime! Yeah he lost to Morales, but he avenged that loss and besides, Morales is an atg himself.

    You are right its not bad at all but it's still recent top notch success in my opinion. He had been a pro for 10 years before that.

    I care obviously that no one was screaming his praise as a great fighter of our future to look forward to 11 years ago. Who cares if he avenged a loss? He shouldnt have got his aZZ beat the first time then he wouldnt have had to avenge a loss.

    Floyd has been considered great his whole career bro. He was an Olympic champion like many other atg's!!! You saw floyds skills and how good he was from day 1 of his amatuer career. Shane also was a great fighter from day 1 of his career. You just dont become Great over night.

    You really are a mong. They were praising Pac as a future atg in the Philippines 11 years ago. It's not his fault it took him 7 years to break into the american boxing scene. For someone who doesn't prescribe to the opinion of the masses, you put a lot of stock in public perception.

    All right, Pac has no amatuer career and very little training from his childhood since he turned pro so young. Floyd was reared in a family of professional fighters with their guidance since the time he was a young boy. If you don't think people get better with repetition and training time, you are mistaken. Pac's early fights are his amatuer career, like many poorer countries were someone has to make money as soon as possible however they can.

    Considering that,Floyd LOST amatuer fights. He was defeated by Auggie Sanchez. The same Sanchez who, though a good fighter with a big punch, was demolished by Hamed. And yes, Floyd avenged the loss. Losses are really irrelevant, especially when young and inexperienced, because PEOPLE GET BETTER with practice. It just so happens people with long amatuer carreers have much more practice early. These guys are within a year or two of their peak, and it would be a shame if they didn't fight.

    He was poor so he turned pro at 16 to make ends meet. He was not well handled and trained unlike FMJ. He became champion by raw talent alone without help from professional trainers and nutritionists.

    Many of Filipino amateur boxers come from the military so he was not noticed at that time. Like some poster before me said, compare his early pro boxing years with FMJ's amateur years and you will see some similarities (i.e. they can lose to some unheralded fighters at that age).

    When you are a boxer from a third world country, it is hard to be noticed by American media and even from the Philippine media because boxers are a dime a dozen.
