Who do you rate higher P4P: Pacquaio or prime Holyfield?

ONE thing they got in common is their both RHOID USERS.but i think H.F is a way better BOXERal the way AROUND.

 

Pacman by a mile.

 

What I was wondering. I actually think Holyfield might rank higher H2H because of what he brings to the table. Whereas Pacquiao, I mean it's like two different fighters. 130 and below, he was defensively open and left-hand happy and perhaps too aggressive for his own good at times.

135+, he's improved but I still think he's got flaws. Plus, I don't think he's as natural at the weight as he should be. I mean I think he can take the punches - for whatever reason - but is he as strong at 140-147 as other's?

Holyfield I've often under-rated from a H2H sense but I've finally seen the light. Durability, good boxing skills at HW, good speed at HW, plenty of heart, strength, adaptability, and an ability to frustrate an opponent and take them out of their element. That's going to be a tough night for a lot of HW's. I think he always had the beating of Tyson for starters.

 

I think Holyfield almost breaks top30. But he is not above Chavez, RJJ, Arguello, etc while Pacquiao is.

 

I think that's a reasonable ranking for Holyfield. I also agree he's behind all of those. I'm not sure where I rank Pacquiao, I think I'll wait till he retires before giving him a clear ranking. I wouln't say he's 'miles' above Holyfield though, as somebody else said - if at all. Like I said, I don't know.

 

They are extremelyu close to eachother.

Definetely no ''miles'' between therm.

 

I tink pac ranbks right ABOVE DAVID DIAZsince pac fans think he was THE BEST OF THE 135 POUNDERSatsch

 

manny pac, that was an easy one.

 

The man got his ears bitten off and still fought on, that goes a long way in my book.

 

At least you started off that statement appropriately.:good

I would whole-heartedly disagree with it, but he was definitely a great fighter. As to the thread question, I'd go with Holyfield because he never ducked anyone, even if both were roid munchers.

 

Pac never had to fight Tyson, or Bowe. That is easy.

 

Holyfield was at his best as a Cruiserweight and in that division he dominates everyone more than Pac has, in his respective divisions.

And just think in all the years that have passed, even with the Cruiserweight division's increase in weight, there hasn't been anyone who would be able to give a prime Holyfield a contest in my view.
