Yuri Foreman at 154? This is why Pac cant be compared to Sam Langford who was a blown up Welterweight fighting huge world class heavyweights like Harry Willis. Langford was 5''7......for **** sake!
Can you imagine Pac fighting the likes of David Haye? The old school fighters are just a different breed to to days alot. And that is why they are recongised as the best!
That's the point, Pacquiao started out smaller, he was 106, while langford started as a feather. Who's the idiot now? :D
TS, your argument would be more valid if both fighters actually started campaigning in the similar divisions, they didn't, so logically the one who started out bigger can campaign higher.
Langford started out a featherweight you idiot!

Lots of people have!
Show me where people have put that comparison?
The only one I know is Pacdbest who rates Pac at #3. But, he is delusional and should not be taken seriously.
I know plenty have made the Pac and Henry Armstrong comparison. But, not the Langford comparison...
Foreman is 5-11, 72 Inch reach.
Yet Pac had no problems fighting a drained Oscar who is 5-10,,,,with a 73 Inch reach.
Go figure.
Mayweather wouldn't even fight a Cotto and Mosley who are his same size :owned:
Like who exactly?
BTW, you can't compare langford, who was a blown up Welter to Pacquiao, who is a blown up featherweight.
Langford started out a featherweight you idiot!
Not only the height but also the weight. They're fighting at 154 w/c is imo too much for Pac.
langford once give 40+ pounds away to a peak jack johnson aswell as a good few inches in height!
the likes of langford, fitzsimmons, armstrong are a different breed!

I dont even rate Pac's win over oscar that highly! that de la hoya was so damn weight drained. a couple of months before the fight he was 142lb, which is unheard of.
de la hoya was so dead at the weight, most good fighters would of done that to him.

Name me one fighter who has a problem fighting Oscar?
If you can name me one fighter who had a problem fighting then I could see the point you trying to make?
