    Andy Cruz is an insanely talented boxer. I’d pick him already over everyone at 135 other than maybe Lomachenko

    His footwork was pretty much perfect for that fight, that was what impressed me the most. That is energy conservation. You get boxing trainers wanting every fighter to be Amir Khan with frenetic in and out movement on their toes. That’s a stupid way to box in the pro game if you have punching power. Some occasional hand and foot feints would have been a good idea though

    So what? :lol:

    That's one of the lowest punch stat I've ever seen. In a huge missmatch.

    How do you land FIVE jabs of 200+???

    None of that stuff mattered. Any other ranked fighter on the planet would've landed more jabs than that.

    He's literally already done that.

    Pac had insane discipline and a work ethic to match — among the best ever in boxing. Spence is 5' 9", Virgil Ortiz is 5' 11", and Ennis is 5' 11". Pac would have made 147 just fine. He'd be slightly slower, slightly less athletic, but that's off set by the increased power through size. Pac would have been unstoppable if he was a naturally-sized welterweight.

    Did Ryan win in dominant fashion without getting touched up? Yes

    FYI, you can be a win against top level fighters without using a jab.. Go see what happened to Teofimo Lopez. Kambosos didn't use his jab at still beat Teofimo (elite fighter) ass.

    He wasn't unstoppable ever, even when he had the size advantage.

    When he was drained and malnourished. When he stopped draining, he took flush bombs from the likes of Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Vargas, etc. to no ill effect. Of course, there was also the nuclear right hand from the chemically-enhanced Marquez. But if Pac was a natural sized welterweight, he'd be unstoppable.
