It STUNS me how much can be reduced to so little in peoples' eyes.
"Beat him down!?" Not a prayer. Not even a ghost of a chance. Only in a straight fight at MW could that ever occur.
You are talking as though Clottey, Cotto, Margarito, Hatton are on the level of the guys the Klitschkos beat up. Stiffs!? Not one guy there is a...
Its MASSIVELY taken for granted. MASSIVELY.
That is utter revisionist nonsense. Theres no other way to put it.
You wont see Donaire, or anyone else down around there, duplicating Pacquiaos efforts, or even daring to try, in spite of huge rewards on offer....
Also couldnt bring his 9-iron into the ring, which you have to figure he at least wanted on hand for the De La Hoya fight. That woulda taught...
Not just beating Cotto, either, but beating the absolute DAYLIGHTS outta him. Cotto would have to fight on another 5+ years to find even a CAREER...
Have a look at him next to 140lb Kahn, even. Tells the story.
Bingo.
Agreed completely. His jump to Welter and beyond was far more rapid than Mayweathers to boot.
When did Mayweather arrive at Welter, compared with Pacquiao? THREE times now Mayweather has won the WW crown, and refused routinely to act in a...
I heard Vargas had a 6-pack in his stomach, but not his chin.
As you know, Im considerably more impressed by what hes done post-130 than yourself.
Okay. By whom?
That could go both ways, though. Just dominating one division doesnt necessarily make you better than becoming the champ in four or five classes...
Is it missing, or do some of us just disagree with it?
Nice sig, Jones, but why does it say Welterweight, not Feather? Who makes those, anyway? Ive seen a few now, and they always look very authentic...
Haglers first vote garnered.
This is not an in-ring comparison, though.
Whos the greater fighter?
Hagler, or Pacquiao? I say Pacman clearly.
I think theres enough interest/disagreement now to make this a poll. Just for kicks...
Its hard to say. Look at Holyfield, he arguably earned a draw with a prime Lewis when he was clearly washed up, yet I think Lewis-Holyfield would...
No chance of that in NYC, though. I'll be devastated if Cotto loses, but I have a feeling he wont disappoint.
Thats not really what your thread title implies, though.
I may do. Its been at least a year since I saw it.
Marquez won it legit. It was closer than the cards which I think we can all agree on, but to say Barrera was robbed aint reality. I also thought...
See, this is what I dont care for --- before Pacquiao moves north of 135, all these fights, all of them, are OBSCENE mismatches. Not only does...
In a straight fight at Welter? Yeah, he would. Doesnt really compare to Hagler beating Hearns at Middle. Guess what Holyfield would do if Hagler...
