We should really assume anyone who's screen name is Mitch Green is either Mitch Green himself, a relative of Mitch Green or a troll, I think.
the boxing writers, historians and retired ATGs have already spoken. pac is a certified ATG. and no amount of opinionated discussions here in ESB is ever going to change that.
I love how there's this sudden gap in memory from the Manny Pacquiao who was already "overperforming" at 126 and 130 and how there was doubt he could handle the mediocre David Diaz' size and strength. So Manny one punch KO's Diaz and then he was a wimp for not taking more challenges at 135. Then there were at LEAST 30 threads on here saying Roach was insane and inhumane for putting Manny in with Oscar at 147. Manny gobbles up the Olden Boy and then it was Manny's fault that Oscar ate deer meat and Roach was suddenly a genius - The same people calling Roach inhumane were then saying he was cherry picking, conviently forgetting Roach said all along Oscar had trouble with southpaws and pulling the trigger anymore. Then Manny fights Hatton at 140, Hatton's best weight, where he was the lineal title holder and Floyd Mayweather Snr spent more time telling the world how he was a better coach than the joke Roach instead of teaching Hatton how to cope with a southpaw. AND the classless piece of crap didn't even go into the ring to see how his fighter was after Pac wiped the floor with him. Then Pac takes on 3 of the top welters in the sport in a row. How you can not say that this body of work, unprecedented body of work, post his already HoF career below 130, is not at least worthy of some ATG status is beyond haterdom and into sheer denial.
u sick sonofa ***** clottey wont **** and lost to cotto because he went down on a jab, then broke his hand against margarito the old master found hiself finding the best way to loose a fight and thats throw no punches he left the fight clean and pac was lumped how the **** do you lump a guy up walk away clean and loose wtf you mention clottey as a king in welter im kicking your ass, hard
None of PAC's victims were fresh off of KO losses. And bums would be a term used for cab drivers or waste management professionals who part time in boxing. PAC has beaten a long list of ATG's, Champions, former champions, Title challengers and contenders. The excuses of being shot, weight drained or any other excuse to rationalize why PAC is the best fighter in boxing is pure garbage. It's like saying Floyd has only faced and beaten OLD, SHOT or B level guys and yet still wasn't good enough to best PAC in any measureable area in boxing except being undefeated.:rofl But that would be credited to cherry picking. Sound familiar hater? Don't be so transparent if you are gonna kept your hate at 100.
Cotto wasn't coming off a loss and wasn't weight drained. He was in the best shape of his life and looked the part.......Hatton wasn't coming off a loss but he did take the THEN P4P champ 10 hard rounds and actually saw Floyd say it was his hardest fight ever....and Marg was coming off a win and outweighed PAC by 17 lbs. PAC's accomplishments are next to none which is why he's considered the best.
I agree, the only atgs are Mayweather Jr, Ike Ibeabuchi, and absolute PRIME invincible exactly 20 seconds into the Spinks fight, Mike Tyson. Guys like Ali and Pacman did nothing but beat up weight drained Transexuals and shot has beens.
