Well you probably got me on that.lets say my terminology was out,and lets say he beat ledwaba on 2 weeks notice,beat barerra whilst a sound underdog,when at the time barerra must have been hovering around the top of the p4p rankings,morales the same,marquez,hatton,cotto etc In perspective,put the last 20 or so consecutive oponents pac has faced up against anyone elses in history.id say he figures favourably
And aside from that,i wouldnt disregard how great robinson was. He fought in an era were they fought week after week,a lot of **** poor opposition but scattered with greats throughout his career,but in todays era,a fighter who trains for 3 months with the best nutrition and science aswell as having a great record with maybe a loss or 2 is classed as a cherry pick,so what would any fighter ever have to do to surpass him.the general consensus is that you cant.which is an insult to someone who achieves greatness on a more level playing field
I have looked at Pac's resume. When did he fight Margarito at a catchweight? After getting KTFO by Shane. When did he fight Mosley? After getting DOMINATED by Mayweather. When did he fight Cotto at a catchweight? When did he fight Hatton? on and on and on ... needless to say, anybody's record can be criticized. SRR is universally acknowledged as a top 3 ATG by people who KNOW boxing. Pac not so much. I rate Pac just below FMJ on the ATG list. In the 30ish range.
Your just regurgetating ppl in the know jargon.bert sugar was sprts illustrated expert material,the man who would regard dempsey top 10,on what basis. Lets rip pacs resume apart,and for the record its not just pac its a ton of modern fighters. He fought cotto at a catch weight.2 lb below his weight,pac was fighting lets say realistically a stone above his natural weight.hatton,you just say blah blah,well that was the weight he was unbeaten at and was destroyed.margarito lost to shane who has been hovering around lmw for years before,pac is 5"5 has no reason to be at ww apart from he wants the challenge.hes just below floyd.... why is that ? Does floyd ducking him for years on end,lying fight after fight saying he'll fight him then picking his time to fight the man he called a midget himself not register with you.or even the fact he was cauggt cheating? In my eyes your clueless but hey ho u go along with it
And rumsfeld completely ignores the prior post as there is no honest answer to it,but likes yours,because common consensus and 'ppl in the know' say its true. Thats my whole point,the sheep follow the 'ppl in the know' rather than believe their eyes and common sense
Pacquiaos resume looks good on paper but when you really look at who he fought and at what times it's not as it impressive as it could have been. But in terms of skills and how he looked during his peak he looked almost unbeatable. Just look at the fight vs Cotto, absolutley incredible footwork and handspeed.
