    Pernell would’ve beat Pac-Man. Convincingly, you don’t beat Chavez and lose to Manny.

    You think the Oscar that a shot Pea fought and the Oscar that Pac fought were the same fighter?

    A) He didn't beat Chavez. He struggled to a draw against and overweight, over-the-hill, shopworn, partied out Chavez with too many fights under his belt.

    B) Pac's dynamicism is polar opposite of Chavez' methodical technical brilliance.

    I was kiddin. Also struggled isn't a word I'd use.

    I really don't know who'd win. Probably Pea without giving it enough thought.

    Agree with all the folks that said Pac for resume, and Pea for H2H.
