    Nah I don't think Pac is on peds. By asterisks I mean catch weights and guys coming off losses who's style and ability were made for him.

    catchweights has been happening even before 20 years ago

    fmj is on vacation and does not have the urge

    pac is just cleaning the whole welter division and fighting those boxers who ducked fmj or whom fmj ducked :D

    how can a fighter who loses all the fantasy matchups yet always surpasses expectations in the actual ring be overrated?

    Pac is underrated.

    Like I said, he still get credit for accomplishing what he has accomplished. But there are still asterisks next to some of them.

    I can't imagine that a boxer as good as MAB can only be prime for three ****in years.

    So, when MAB and Pac fought, was Pac on his prime already, or was he still green?

    Another question, is Pac on his prime now? Because if he is, he is on his prime from 2003 - 2011. (imagine all those wars he's been through)

    Haters just dont want to give pac his props. Barrera was the featherweight king at the time and even after the pac loss he kept winning fights and some even thought he beat marquez. If that dumbass ref wasn't so damn blind barrera should have won that fight.

    Marquez was clearly down with 2 gloves on the canvass.

    While a number of your other examples are laughable, this one is beyond stupid. To say that Barrera, who 29 years old and coming off a string of outstanding victories, was past prime exposes you as ****ing ignorant. On top of all that, Barerra went on to be champ at 130 for 3 more years.

    Im not making up BS, nor to nake myself feel better. Im just educating you clowns here, cause many of you clowns here dont know boxing, and take things so literal.

    If Pac refuses to take steroids tests, then that deems him a steroid cheater.

    If Pac's fights with Clottey and Margarito were legit, then why didnt Clottey and Margarito throw solid punches at Pac??
    cause those fights were FIXED.

    Here are other sources that say those 2 were fixed fights.

    MAB pre-fight distractions is what caused him to lose to Pac.
    Pac didnt beat MAB, MAB was beat before he stepped in the ring.

    Its a figure of speech, when someone says, "I dont mean to discredit a boxer's win, but so and so, had problems leading up to the fight".
    You just dont how to take figure of speech, and a bit of sarcasm.

    regardless, Pac had a lucky night that time.

    MAB was beatable that 2003 night, and any of the top 10 contenders couldve beated him on that "off-night"

    Morales couldve beaten Barrera that night with only one arm, and the other arm tied behind his(Morales') back.

    MAB was unfit to fight that night. Plain and simple.

    Pac had a lucky night then,
    then steroids
    then fixed fights (since steroids alone wasnt gonna do the trick).

    I know you disagree, cause you dont know jack-shiitt about boxing.

    Barrera had pre-fight problems leading up to the Pac fight in 03.

    Barrera was going through a divorce with wife.
    MAB had managerial/promotional problems cause he left Forum Boxing to go with GBP.
    Then there were medical clearance to many doctors cause of metal plate on his head.
    Then there were wildfires during trainig that he had to relocate from Big Bear to San Diego.

    By the time MAB stepped in the ring with Pac, MAB was all-turmoiled and mentalluy and physically NOT 100%.

    anybody in the top 15 contdender could've beaten MAB that night.
    MAB was beatable that night.

    Heck, Morales could've beaten MAB with only one arm, whith the other arm tied behind his(Morales') back.

    If pac's "over rated" what the hell is floyd? Put there resume's side by side and it's a joke. I'm cool with anyone thinking any fighter is over rated. But lets try and keep it with in the realm of sanity.

    He's halled as the #1 Pound for Pound when there are more talanted boxers: Mayweather, Donaire and Martinez as well as a more acomplished boxer in Mayweather.
    If that's not overrated I don't know what is.
