    You kidding??? Pac has fought, and beat WARRIORS. Roy Jones had all the talent in the world, but what warriors did he fight again?

    Pac, because he did not right postal workers, janitors, garbage men, etc., like Jones. Jones ran from Michalczewski for years.

    "just to name two"...You can only pretty much name two.
    It was a GREEN bernard Hopkins. He was still pretty good though at the time I'll say.
    Toney was a pretty bad man.

    I'd say those 2 are bigger legends over pac's opponents, but yet Pac has fought a lot more names. De La Hoya (legend), Hatton (overrated IMO, but still will go down in hall of fame), Morales, Berrara, Marquez, etc. Those guys are all quality.
    I'd say Jones was more talented in a lot of ways (he was more blessed with them), but Pac has developed his talents through hardwork...
    I'd much rather support the hard worker that takes the risks than the guy with all the talent in the world, but scared to take risks.
    Plus, jones has a lot worse losses. He *might* have been over the hill, but Tarver, and Johnson? He shouldn't have lost to them. Manny's losses was when he was young, and inexperienced.

    Jones beat Hopkins and Toney in an absolute snoozer. Those fights are a complete shame compared to Pac-Morales, Pac-Marquez, Pac-Barrera fights in terms of action.
