    I think there's no doubt that people will see Pac as THE best of his era if/when he beats Mayweather come May 2nd. The only problem is that there's always going to be an excuse not to put him up there along with the greats like Leonard, Duran, Armstrong, Ali, etc. Pac has proven time and time again why he's considered an ATG yet his critics are too afraid to admit it.

    Armstrong? Have you even seen him fight? All he does is dig his head to his opponents chest and throw a lot of hail mary's!

    The old champions are overrated. They do not have the technique that modern fighters have. The population is few that good competition is less. Jessie Owens owned the world record at one time. Today, over 50 men were able to run faster than him.

    All I know is this.

    -Stopped prime Barrera
    -Lost 115-113 to Prime Morales
    -Beat prime Marquez 3 times (judges error)
    -Demolished Ledwaba
    -Stunned Sasakul
    -Destroyed Prime Bradley Twice
    -Destroyed Prime Cotto

    That's so insane it's not even funny. It's straight savage.

    True, but not always as some of those has been's did create styles and punches, or at least ring demeanor, that would reverberate to the present children of the sport.

    The fab four however... You can't take any away from those guys.
    As I've mentioned, the mini fab four of Pac-MAB-Morales-JMM is also a sight to behold, Pac being the least technical but a freak of nature nonetheless in athleticism.

    I think both are hovering around top 40 territory. The winner should move to top 30.
