    Roach agreeing with you doesn't "solidify" anything. One opinion supporting another doesn't make anything solid or true.

    Yep, both put some hurt on Pacquaio. He has next to no chance to win either of these.

    Interesting paths but highly unlikely, given Pac's present size. Unless he takes steroids.:D

    Well, a future ATG is the best way to put it.


    The next SRR is a bit of a stretch.


    No one, IMO, no one can compare to SRR.

    RJJ & Floyd IMO had they had the balls and the hunger to create a legacy bigger than SRR would have been capable.

    As for Pac's early losses, bit stupid bringing them up considerin how much hes changed since then. Armstrong lost his first 3 fights yet hes considered top 3 p4p by most, Hopkins lost his 1st fight too. Pac's weight jump is also more like 25lb than 15lb...which is huge for a guy of Pac's size. People complained about Larios being too small jumping up to fight Pac, people say Hattons jump 1 division up is too big for him..

    I have to agree. Well, as they usually say, you can't have 'em all. You may have all the talents, but the biggest balls belong to another guy.

    As for Pac, well, I wonder why bringing up past (and to think really way behind) defeats to at least have an argument. Well Arguello was KO'd on his pro debut in 1 round, yet no one said "Olivarez will KO Arguello because he lost by KO on his pro debut." That's just emotions talking.

    There is a huge difference between a 16 yr old starting at 106 or whatever and moving up because his body is growing than a fighter who has been at a weight class for years jumping up 2 weight classes.

    Record wise I don't think Pac compares, But Greatness wise He has the Chance. In SRR Days they fought more often coz there are no PPV & TV is in infancy. The only way they can make make Money is Live gate & fight often. Greatness are measured on how did you do against the best Fighters on your era. SRR annihilates most of the best in his Era, on Multiple Divisions, but also has some setbacks.

    Pac is doing the same thing Nowadays only he fights less often. But everybody else on this era Fought the same number of fights/year(3-4). Pac is a more busier fighter, Fought almost all the best in his weightclass than the so called #1 P4P PBF. Pac is not at SRR level yet but he has the Chance to join him there. At 135 below Pac has all winnable fights. That's why I really want to know how he will do against PBF/Hatton(both small welterweights anyway).
