    I think what they mean by B level is Very good but not Great, not up there with the ATGs, he was A class at the time in that weight division, but is History he's not A class.


    With all those names May could have had more names.

    Cotto
    Margarito
    Williams

    a few more names at 154, and why not take the #1 spot from Martinez at 160, or at least try like Armstrong, Leonard, Napoles, Hearns, Duran did.

    This whole Pac May situation is a joke. I remember when the best just fought the best, none of this none sense.

    If Oscar was old and past his prime when Floyd fought him, what does that tell you about Pac's win against him?

    You rate Hatton over Castillo?:huh imo Castillo is among the top 10 fighters of the 2000 to 2010 era. Hatton not even top 20.

    :patsch This suggests you aren't worth posting to. If YOU think that was a schooling, YOU need more school of your own. :roll:

    :lol: We're done kid. THis is what happens when I try to have a serious talk. Becomes this type of ****. All you are doing is saying "What about Pac!!", when I am questioning you on Floyd and your claims.

    Pac's wins over MAB, Morales and JMM are better then those. DLH is the only one who is comparable, but even he was on his last leg.

    Look, you are now asking WHY beating MOrales is great. Are you aware of that, you are asking WHY beating Morales is great. And you're reason for asking, because he lost to MAB and to Raheem. Those aren't arguments, that's just saying something ANYONE can look up on boxrec.

    :lol:De La Hoya wins are comparable ? He beat Barrera. In my eyes lost to Marquez. Took a lesson from Morales. Later on Morales fought in a higher weight class and struggled to make the weight and lost. Then looked like a ****ing raisin in the rematch against Pacquiao. By the third fight he was just mentally broken. He quit ffs.
    Now once again struggeled with the 38 year old Marquez which i though was the most convincing performance by Marquez.
    Im not arguing with the first fight being a draw. The second should have been a draw at best and the third was a clear Marquez win.

    Now he took a lesson from Morales? :patsch Is there even a point to replying to someone who already has that preconceveid notion embedded into their system? You're point is duly noted. No need to carry on...

    I think lesson was too hard. I dont mean a complete schooling but Morales was comfortable to just go southpaw ans slugg it out. Morales showed Pacquiao that he needs to improve. A less learned.

    Well, that's more accurate. :thumbsup

    I had Morales winning the first. He's still pretty much my fave to date (amongst a few). But it was still a tough fight, some rounds hard to score. It's pretty sad when people say "He lost to Morales" as if that's a terrible thing.

    BTW, when MOrales went southpaw, I remember thinkking WTF?!? Then he was raising his hands in the air near the end to entice PAc to come in! Morales = Warrior! :deal

    Wow horrible, that is why no body should take this poster seriously. Maybe this poster just not know what to post, and just post for the sake of answering.

    actually Pimp made a good case there-I dont agree in that Oscar "fits" the category but I've seen him make a good argument in some other threads.
