    Look at who are in his league??? ATGs side by side with PAC. The author just mentioned 4 wt Class Champ but actually he's already 5 Div Champ.

    Even the hardest of chins and the deepest reservoirs of courage have breaking points, and Diaz reached his in the ninth as a left cross he didn't see felled him. Even LaMotta absorbed only four rounds' worth of Robinson's best guns while Diaz fielded Pacquiao's from the very start. While Diaz is no LaMotta in terms of greatness, it wouldn't be completely absurd to rank Pacquiao's performance on this night to the best Robinson ever produced.

    Later, like red wine blushing at the certification of purity on its label, Pacquiao modestly said, "I feel much, much stronger and more powerful

    And in the process proving himself again "The Mexicutioner," having added another Mexican fighters pelt to his belt, and proving himself to be boxing's "Best Pound-for-Pound Fighter"--as well as proving Aesop's hare-brained moral was all wrong: "slow and steady" never beats speed and strength. This time the tortoise wasn't there at the finish.


    I have been predicting this for years. And now it's all coming true. Hatton/DLH next. I'm sure Pac will in the Top 10 ATGs.

    considering that he beat over the hill Barrera and Morales, been schooled by Marquez in the first fight and barely won the second, his recent win gave him jump to areas between top #40-60 .... but he have a good future.

    I was busy mostly reading articles about Pac Dominating win against Diaz. I was looking around how experts view on Pac Newest accomplishments. I have no time to BS with the haters.

    I read somewhere that Maestro was banned, How come??? What did he do??

    I honestly feel He is an all time great. And your right his venture at his 5th division as a champ made him look as if he is going to run thru that division as well. I just hope He fights the best 135 has to offer instead of acting as if there is no one to compete with him so he must move up to 140. I think he could get a title at 140 too, but then again what is a title if Mozonke Fana has a one. He should fight for his legacy not for history stats.

    p4p #1 of all time!!!



























    Wait never mind he fought legends on their way out and a JMM who although past his prime he cant even beat. Now he wants HAtton because he is ready for the picking. Well Hatton was always a chump to me.

    correction.. barrera ain't over the hill when pac beat him 1st time

    why does this 'over the hill' argument get mentioned on every pac thread that's being created?

    IMO, I think PAC is fantastic futurer HOF & ATG,

    However i feel to get to the 'elite' ATG ranks he needs to beat some more prime fighters....convincingly

    Morales,Barerra & JMM 1 (I completely discard because of obvious reasons)

    But Beating Hatton would be an incredible feat in my opinion this would propell him into the top 75 - 80 ATG's...any more than this the sky's the limit!!!

    HES ONLY 29!!!

    Best of luck to him

    P.s If he fights De La Hoya.....PAC GETS KTFO!!!!!in EARLY rounds!!!

    fighting hatton honestly isnt something someone should be impresed with but if it gets him paid F it , im all for it. Hatton is a chump but thats where the money is. If Diaz never got cut against Nate im pretty sure he would have won that fight and Pac would be forced to fight Juan, that would have been a fight worth praising pac for taking. I know he wouldn't take it now especially since Diaz doesnt have a title

    I hate to discredit fighters but your right he does need to fight a young fighter in his prime that is worth anything. Correct me if im wrong but wasnt the last opponent that was younger than him Solis? Prior to that?:think But still his legacy would be much more enhanced if he were to beat a young stud

    You can keep on Crying all day long but it doesn't change the Fact that what Pac did was Great.

    OK let's say it's 2003 again. Can you make series of List of fighters during that time to the Present that Pac should've fought to be greater that what he is today???

    Or can you name a fighter who has a better Resume than Pac from 2003-the Present????
