Pacquiao can be another Sugar Ray Robinson...Roach

In historical matches, yes it sounds arrogant. But thats cuz of context and the history tied to those fighters. I don't agree with you, but besides that, how many people fans or not can imagine Hagler getting drilled by anyone. That's where people get angry, and since it can't be proven, it becomes just an argument.

Doing it on an upcoming fight....thats easier to deal with. You will either be proven right or wrong.

Nah, no offense taken, as I said, you had me pegged pretty good.

 

With up coming fights, picking the winner is not the only factor involved, it's giving a total plane of how the fight will go and then placing your personal pick within that strongest plane. I like to see a lot of opposing views, IF they are in good theory, which seldom comes from many area's.

Some fights have multiple scenerio's, others are something I call 'as close to certain as it gets in boxing', I'd consider Floyd v. Hatton to be 'close to certain' for Floyd, unless Floyd just doesn't train or other unseen elements, I already count it as a win, because Hatton has no chance will get absolutely thrashed.

Then you have great fights like Diaz vs. Pac, that can go in a multiple variety of ways depending on what happens and then fights in between.

But when people are actually talking about Floyd v. Hatton as if it's even an after thought that Hatton has a 'good chance', it's mind boggling for me. Same for when they think Joe Louis as he stands from the video footage could jump in the ring and KO Samuel Peter, we have direct footage of both.

 

Can Pacman become the greatest fighter who ever lived?

 

We can talk about Pacquiao beating Katsidis, Casamayor, Diaz, Marquez, Barrera, Soto, Guzman, Valero, and Linares. But once we get into talk about a potential victory over Floyd Mayweather, it gets a little too over the top.

 

Mayweather currently fights at 147lbs, and Pacman's not going to fight above 135lbs ever in his career. He'll probably move up and fight at 135lbs within the next couple of years. He doesn't have the physical frame to go above lightweight. If he did decide to move up even further, his power would diminish considerably and his speed would be effected. Those are Pacman's main attributes as a fighter, speed and power. He's always been a come forward aggressive fighter, and without speed and power he'd be playing right into bigger opponents hands. He'd become much more hittable, and his career would soon spiral downwards.

 

Exactly...the futher north Pacman travels, the less effective he will get.

 

Yes...he is. He looked better at 122. Even other Pacman fans have said this.

 

Pacman v Hearns, who wins?
