pac ko.
RJJ was not as big as Pac is.. international and mainstream popularity-wise.
RJJ was never viewed as a god, icon, yes, but not as god.
Pac was the biggest thing to come out of asia since Bruce Lee.
i thought pac was beatable but not the way he did. im still kinda in shocked.
Icon means little in terms of boxing.
In that sense, RJJ was certainly more invincible than Pac in his prime.

Both were shocking, but when I saw Roy go down, I couldnt believe it. For those who didnt get to see his whole career, Roy was the most dominant boxer in history before the KO. Yes his first fight with tarver was very competative but before that it was nothing but domination. He had just got done dominating a heavyweight that out weighed him by 40 pounds in the fight. He easily destroyed and toyed with every champion he ever fought through 4 weight classes save Hopkins who he still beat with one arm 8 rounds to 4. I couldnt picture Roy loosing. With Pac I was still in shock, but we all knew he could loose to Marquez. Both of them got hit with devestating punches that were right on the button.
To be honest when I saw Roy get Koed..for the 1st time I was in total shock..I was like holy *****..Tarver just KO'ed Roy..when Pac got koed it was a suprise but not as shocking as Roy..Roy was superman bro..
Pac.
Seing Roy lose for the first time was obviously more shocking, but at the same time you could see the decline. The drop from heavyweight slowed him down and ruined his reflexes, which meant his chances of losing went way up.
Pac on the other hand was looking good and starting to take control of the fight and then BOOM; in a blink, he was unconscious.
this right here!!!!!!!!!
i wasn't really there yet at Roy's reign.. But some say Roy already had a suspect chin before while Pac has been known to have an ATG one, so...
The only ones who say that are the hindsight experts who think reading a bit of Wiki and seeing a few knockout losses must obviously mean he had a weak chin, forgetting the fact that he'd only ever been dropped once till the age of 35.
Knowing what happened to RJJ, Pacquiao SHOULD NOT fight again.
thats exactly what i said after the ko i dont know why but it seems like boxers are knocked out a lot easier again after a knockout like that once

Pac had been knocked out before, and stunned by JMM before.
Roy suffered one flash knockdown in his career, before 2004.

Id take Pac for a few reasons.
If you saw RJJ Tarver I, you could clearly see a HUGE drop in RJs performance and physical capabilities.
At the time JMM knocked out Pac it looked like Pac might be stopping JMM sooner rather than later... JMM was wobbled with a busted nose and Pac was getting more and more aggressive... and then BAM.. out cold.
The fight was ramping up to end one way and in a split second ended in another.
