    Outta Pac, Loma and Ward.

    Pac was an absolute monster from 07-10, Loma and Ward seemed unstoppable at 130 and 168.

    Who da best?

    Loma. skill is superior to any other boxer on the list and overall is very impressive. I don't see any fighter of his size, beating him.

    Don't know its not Pac. In fact, its prolly like this:

    Pac


    Loma

    Ward

    Ward was a good SMW and all and has a legitimate call for GOAT SMW but he lost Kovalev 1 and was not impressive in a P4P sense.

    Loma and Pac both moved lots of weight classes and won big even when they were smaller, especially Manny.

    Lots of weight classes? Lol Loma moved up 2 and was huge for 126. Also Ward beat Kovalev twice, regardless of what you think and was passed his prime and was a one armed fighter due to injuries.

    I would actually say Loma is the answer to your question -

    - but Pac is far and above the greater fighter out of them and tied it all together better.

    PAC by a mile.

    From the second to the third JMM fight he was a phenom.

    Pac, and Loma. Ward lost to Kovalev the first time, and the second time it was a boxing match with plenty of fouls. Ward was not impressive at all.

    Listen, the whole reason Ward rematched Kovalev is because of how controversial the outcome was. The fans literally booed Andre during his "victory speech". Any website or video that reviews fights usually includes that 1st fight as an example of a fight that had an incorrect outcome...it was worse than GGG Canelo 1 even but not as bad as Lara Williams.

    I know youre fine w the official outcome cause you have an apparent bias in favor of black fighters which is evidenced by your post history bigging up Floyd, Tank, Spence (formerly), and Deontay and your handle is literally "ellerbe". That is perfectly fine because its your opinion, but rational fans w less prejudice saw Kovalev beat Ward:

    26 for Kovalev, 9 for Ward, 3 draw

    And thank you for correcting me about Loma. I was wrong...for some reason I thought it was 3-4 classes. Guess he's on par or even below Ward in that case
