    Without looking at anything else, I think just the fact that he has Joel Casamayor at number 7 and Johnny Tapia at number 10 makes him a stupid, no knowledge trol.

    Each situation has to be accounted for for what it was. By your own admission, Pacman was a teenager as a Flyweight. His jumping weight classes has to do with him growing into his body. It's not like he is moving up fighting bigger guys while remaining the smaller man in the ring. He has moved up because he was growing. He has been bigger at 130 than every fighter he has fought hasn't he? On fight night? Pacman was a natural 122lb fighter as a grown man (and he was bigger than those guys as well)....he has basically jumped 2 weight classes since he was 20 years old. He should get credit for doing as well as he did as a teen, but not credit for jumping weight classes as though he was the smaller man moving up. He wasn't.

    If Jones had started fighting at the time Pacquiao did instead of fighting amateurs, he would have started at 140.

    If Pac is not Supernatural then who is in your opinion???

    Let's say Matured Pac was a Natural 122 pounder. Isn't it amazing he did Captured the Lineal Title with his teenage Body & the lack of world class training??? Who else dominates & still knocking out opponents after moving up 3 weight Classes???

    Smokin' Joe! He hit like a train, yet was one of the smaller heavyweights, and had great head movement!

    Eh.. Just said this to be different.. Could have said Sweet Pea, Tyson, or RJJR if i wanted to.. :)

    I never said Pacman wasn't supernatural now did I? Pacquiao's power is, but as a fighter I am not convinced. Too many styles could neutralize Pacman. When he faces a prime fighter with these styles, we will see if he can overcome it.

    And I already said that he should get great credit for his success as teenager.

    That lineal title at 112 was an accomplishment, but he didn't beat the best champion at 112. The lineal champion isn't always the best champion. Case and point, Pacman is the best 130lb fighter, but he has NO belt.

    Pacman has only gone up 2 weight classes from his natural weight. And there are alot of fighters who KO people that high up. But Pacman has supernatural power, there is no doubt of this. However, will he keep winning against top competition at 130? No idea....he hasn't fought the best fighters at 130 yet. I will do as you have asked....wait and see.

    IMO, Henry Armstrong, Ike Williams, Harry Greb, Billy Conn:D Gene Tunney, Joe Louis, Marvin Hagler, and Larry Holmes were Supernaturals among other's on you're list. Everybody got their own measuring sticks, I suppose:think


    Many dont give Calzaghe enough respect:nono That's WHY the fight with Kessler is so important:yep If Calzaghe again comes out, delivers a major performance, and beats Kessler??:lol: What's next?? Bute??:rofl What can they say then?? THIS IS THE EURO-WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP......at least TEMPORARILY:hey :D

    Try either Pavlik,Taylor, or Hopkins for the $$$$$$$$$$ and respect in the aftermath.

    Kessler is a worthy opponent and this is expected to be the SHINING MOMENT. May the best man WIN:good
