    PBF::pAC

    Does PBF or PAC in your estimation beat any of the fighters listed below? Reason I ask, is because with Pac's limited skill set I just don't see him running competitively with anyone listed below. Whereas I can see giving Floyd some nods based on his skill set.

    Duran at Lightweight?
    Duran at Super Featherweight?
    Duran at Light Welterweight?
    Duran at Welterweight?

    Aaron Pryor at Light welterweight?

    Sweet Pea at Lightweight?
    Sweet Pea at Super Lightweight?
    Sweet Pea at Welterweight?

    Sugar Ray at Welterweight?

    Sugar Ray Leonard at Welterweight?

    Hearns at Welterweight?

    Alexis Arguello at Super Featherweight?

    I can see them both beating Pryor at 140. Arguello is an awful style match up for Pac. Floyd v Arguello would be a fantastic match up, both guys have wonderful accuracy in there punching. They both lose to the rest.

    It's unfair comparing Hagler to both Pac and Floyd, as both men have no business being at middleweight. Hearns is simply a freak of nature. H2H one of the greatest fighters at welterweight. I'd be confident of him knocking both Pac and Mayweather out.

    Probably **** him during the fight, and at his concert.

    Floyd and Pac both belong in that catagory wit the very best boxings had to offer,

    I cant quite come up with a winner when i mach any of them together because i see so many strenghts and weakneses for both fighters

    Imagine Pac - Duran though

    That would be a special fight

    all extremely close fights. i think mayweather / duran at WW and pac / pryor are the fights most favorable to them.

    PBF would have accused them all of taking PEDS.

    I think both pac and mayweather would fair well with them all except for hagler he was a full fledge mw. Hearns was great but pac if he landed on Hearns chin its lights out. SRL beats pac but floyd would test him I think. I think the old timers had more heart but the new school athletes or bigger, faster, and stronger so who knows?

    in life people always refer to the past as being better, in every sport and all walks of life.. but in boxing i tend to agree.. boxers fought for 15rds and were a lot tougher than today.. some boxers nowadays wouldve been successfull in the past but not many
