Pacquiao is 10 weeks away from being on the top 10 p4p list for 10 YEARS!

I miss the part about you feel that pac's Hoya win was lesser then May-Hoya, I think we kind of got off subject with that the point started by comparing May-Hoya to Pac-EM with me feeling May-Hoya is better.


As far as the Castillo debate there is really no agenda not once have I downgraded Barrera's career or accomplishments what I am saying though is this thought that Castillo is just so far below MAB/EM and thoses guys is crazy. Objectivly Castllio is easily one of the best fighters to come out of the last few decades and his records and list of opponents is on par with any of the three mexican legends I'm more of a fan of JMM than Castillo and to me Castillo easily has a better resume and a lot of people think JMM is better than both EM-MAB. if you honestly lay these guys records side by side outside of a few early losses by Castillo it is on par with each other.

The general consensus is a double-edged sword we live in an age where most people are followers its good to use that but don't under estimate the value of your own eyes for example its widely thought by "fans" Margarito is better than Baldomir yet Baldomir fought/beat better guys, tested himself through more weights, has the better single accomplishment, is a more skilled boxer and has a better chin.


Either way lets agree to disagree with sports its hard to changes peoples opinion about guys that you root for good debate. :good

 

Exactly. Rios is hand-picked by Freddie Roach because he is a walking punching bag. Against a hard puncher like Pacquiao, Rios is doomed. I predict a brutal KO. But for some reason lots of fans think Pacquiao is shot and that the "young and hungry lion" will beat him up. What insanity.

For those who think he's shot: Pacman was dominating Marquez before he got lazy and let that one punch through. Here's Wikipedia's account of the rounds 5 and 6:

Round five, Ring Magazine's "Round of the Year" opened with Pacquiao landing several hard left hands in the early going before breaking through and flooring Marquez with a straight left hand. Marquez arose and answered with a massive straight right on the chin that wobbled his rival. In the final minute of the round, the fighters traded before Pacquiao landed several unanswered punches, including a right hook that buckled Marquez's knees and broke his nose. A bloodied Marquez retreated for the remainder of the round as referee Kenny Bayless looked on closely.

Pacquiao picked up where he left off in the sixth, tagging Marquez consistently.
