    His ww resume over the last 3 years is oscar, cotto, clottey, margo and mosley.

    All criticism aside noone today has a better recent resume at the weight and pac is the rightful ww king imo.

    The question is, which of the past ww kings would fall to pac?

    Who's the greatest he'd have beaten?

    The first choice that comes to my mind is emile griffith. I think he's the greatest ww pac would be favoured over.

    Any thoughts?

    Seriously though, i can see it now....half step-forward..feint...take lead left on the gloves..feint...double jab/lead right then fall into a clinch....use vast strength advantage to maul and manhandle, slip in an uppercut or two and a low blow...repeat as long as it takes to force a stoppage of exhausted, frustrated Pac in a truly dire one-sided fight.

    I think pac has too much firepower for emile. Too many combinations and angles.

    Huge advantage in speed also.

    Pac stops him down the stretch.

    Yeah Griffith was so slow, so ponderous.

    I think it's more likely Pac has to lay a hellacious amount of leather on Emile to even get his attention, far less stop him.In fact give me Griffith as the harder puncher of the two quite clearly at 147.More chance of him literally killing Pac in the ring than there is of him being laid out cold.

    this is an intriguing fight P4P, at Welter it's another clinic in the jab and maul from Griffith.
