    :lol:

    Yeah, how many people show up at a fight is a gauge of how well-respected someone is by an entire nation.

    Manny Pacquiao is the biggest celebrity in his entire country. This isn't even a contest. Not only is he the biggest star now, but he's the biggest star in his home country EVER. Pac is bigger in the Phillippines than Ali or Louis was in the US.

    Tito's a fairly distant second.

    I wouldn't say Tito is a "fairly distant" second. Trust me. I'm not saying he is more famous than Pac is in his home country but pound for pound (since PR is vaaastly smaller than Phillipines) Tito is a VERY solid second. After the DLH fight the country was entirely paralyzed, the government even gave public employeed the day off. Pac may be bigger but Tito is not that far behind.

    So what if Tito has some losses? At least he has balls and always fought the best. To say that PBF has fought better competition than Tito is ridiculous. And to say that Tito is overrated and Floyd is not is equally ridiculous buddy.

    :nono PBF doesn't beat a prime Winky. You're seriously overestimating Floyd's ability to fight above 147. His only fight above that was against a way past it DLH, and while he definitely won, he failed to impress. What I took from that fight is that a PRIME Oscar beats him @ 154 and maybe even 147.

    Joke? No sonny boy not at all. The DLH that BEAT Tito was close to 10 years younger than the one Floyd struggled with so why do you find it laughable when I say a PRIME DLH most likely beats Floyd? :think

    cause DLH was still the number 1 ranked guy at 154 and still had the WBC belt. Floyd is a far superior fighter, its a win he does not get enough credit for. He came up in weight agreed to ever stipulation of DLH, barely got touched during the fight and yet afterwards everyone says DLH past his prime and all this ****..

    Floyd is one of the best H2H fighters of all time IMO, but you vastly overrate him above 147. To completely dismiss fighters like a prime Tito and a prime Winky and say Floyd beats them no questions asked is the real joke here my man.:deal

    MY man Floyd is awesome no doubt about it but above 147 he is not the same fighter he was at LW point blank.

    His performances at those weights, and please it's not at is if he fought the top dogs at 147. Had he beaten Cotto, Margo, or Williams you would be winning this argument but....
