    - Juan Manuel Marquez has two victories over Manny Pacquiao
    - Sugar Ray Leonard is the greatest WW H2H, and would beat Robinson
    - Oscar De La Hoya beats Roberto Duran at 147 on points
    - Juan Manuel Lopez is p4p top 10 material already
    - Rafael Marquez is not

    I agree, I think this is true.

    Would have been a helluva fight.

    1.
    Holding/clinching is allowed WAY too much by refs.

    2.
    SRR is overrated simply because everyone calls him the 1 atg.

    3.
    Ricky hatton does not deserve the Mexican Manchester moniker! He does not fight like a real Mexican warrior(but is a warrior nonetheless, just not the Mexican style)

    The guy had everything: speed, KO power in both hands, legendary chin, excellent competition, reflexes, buckets of stamina, brilliant footwork etc.

    LaMotta was a bad style match-up for him and he still beat him 5 out of 6 times.

    What is there to overrate?

    I firmly feel that Kelly Pavlik is NOT slow, plodding, glass chinned, glass nosed, has adequate defense, knows what an angle is, and the #1 MW in the world. :yep

    Boxing needs a nationwide commission to police the statewide ones (and maybe a worldwide commission for legal challenges and rules recommendations).

    Calzaghe lost to B-Hop and proved that he knew so by not re-matching him

    Mayweather ducked almost the entire Welterweight division

    If any of the Klitschko bros. fought a past Heavyweight (i.e. Marciano, Foreman, Ali) they would be beaten

    Hatton ducked Junior Witter when he was WBC champ

    Floyd Mayweather is the best fighter to never beat an ATG fighter who was prime and yet he has fans who think he is one of the ATG fighters in boxing history.
