    Kingpetch and Medel, which marks 3 great fighters that Harada beat, compared to 2 for Pacquiao, mostly past their prime. You're missing the point yet again because your tiny brain won't allow you to comprehend. Vinny Pazienza beat a 40 something Duran in the 90's, is that a great win? No, it's not, because it was nowhere near a prime Duran. The case isn't as extreme with Pacquiao, but you overrate his wins based on name value, when in reaity they weren't any better(if even as good) as Harada's second tier wins(as in wins aside from Jofre).

    Here's Harada's record:

    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=009034&cat=boxer

    Here's Kingpetch

    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=11494&cat=boxer

    here's Medel:

    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=11567&cat=boxer

    Explain me why Medel and Kingpetch became a HOFamer with that kind of record??? Now compare their resume compare to JMM,MAB & EM??? Even Ledwaba and Sasakul has cleaner resume than these two.

    Name me the Guys that Medel and Kingpetch beat to become HOF. Can you find me a Page in the History books that says these 2 guys are HOFamer and better resume than the HOF that Pac beat????

    Duran was at the top, no doubt about it. Duran was the best lightweight in boxing history.

    Duran definitely is in the top 10 ATG. And soon Pac will be there too.

    For argument's sake, let's assume Pac has the talent to do this...still not enough. If it wasn't enough for RJJ, it damn sure isn't enough for Manny.

    The level of competition required for him to achieve top 10 just doesn't exist.

    Don't forget Johnny Famechon, who I think would school someone like Juan Manuel Marquez if he is being run to within a few points by guys like Chris John. Harada should have got the decision over Famechon by about 5 points.

    Also add in Hiroyuki Ebihara, who is a near great in and of himself, and Harada blows Pac's resume apart.

    Quite a funny combination of statements if you think about it.
