    Marquez in his early career, looking back his FW fights even outside of Pacquaio were against some seriously good competition and he was outstanding in them. I picked him to lose in the Pac rematch and believe he won. Wasn't sure he'd have enough left to beat Casa and Diaz. I'm picking him to pull the upset against Pacquaio this time, which is partly a heartfelt pick, I have a feeling I'll be proved wrong, which won't be a bad thing if Pac fights Mayweather in May

    Still JMM>MAB/Morales

    I suppose I underrated Greb a little but many probably overrate him around here

    I don't really see how you can admit to underrating someone because if how you rate them is how you rate them then your belief is that you're rating them appropriately.

    Anyway.

    Probably Pacquiao

    Yeah i'm talking more overlooking than underrating.
    But if you overlook someone who is quality then you are gonna underrate them.

    not really! Overlooking is more along the lines of under appreciating them than it is underrating them. If I over look someone then I can't rate them because I can't really have an opinion, unless I'm an idiot and am passing judgement on fighters I haven't seen enough of.

    I know what you meant though mate. Fighters you don't give enough attention to.

    All the guys on here who constantly express their man-love for Jose Napoles should be responding with "rodolfo gato Gonzalez"

    I tend to not rate fighters - it's impossible, never 100% accurate and therefore leaves far, far too many out

    TOP Men are Top men,
    there are the known elite and all the other TOP Men, with little or nothing between them, H2H, peak to peak!

    :lol:

    Always a disadvantage in the classic.

    I wonder if fighters filmed in HD will be rated lower than one is standard definition.
