    LOL it's ONLY about opinions. Looking at facts, one would be quite embarassed to side with JC. As I said in the other thread, I'm done dis*****g the JC myth. I'll let others embarass you further.

      Also I would say that equating Pacquiao's wins at Flyweight etc to Kessler/Lacy should also be punctuated with the fact that he was knocked out twice during that time.

        losses when you are a teenager doesn't hurt the resume too much.

        fighting pro at 16 is manny's equivalent to an amateur career.

          Well if you're gonna mention his wins at flyweight, you gotta balance it up with the fact he was KOed twice there.

          And also lost the first fight to Morales.

          I'd weigh up Joes losses but I cant seem to find any.....:wink:

            losses are part of the sport.

            as they say...... "if you don't have any losses......you're not fighting the right people." :-)

              I'd take Pac's losses and his legacy he will leave behind than the zero, which will go away soon, that JC has strategically kept for himself. Manny is what boxing needs - JC isn't. Pac is a true warrior who fought and continues to fight wars in the ring and is in no way slowing down. JC has nothing resembling a war and is at the end of his career. Nuff said.

                Pacquiao has a much better resume than Calzaghe and has won titles in 5 different weight classes, although the first fight with Barrera wasn't for any sanctioning bodies' belt, it was for the linear title.

                  Pacquiao is probably better than Joe, his speed, power and naked aggression mean that for me he would probably beat Joe in a P4P matchup. He doesn't have everything Calzaghe has, because he is nowhere near as tactically astute, but beyond that he is not far away.

                    I'll also take Oscars losses matched up with JC's none in earning power. Yep, that "O" really does mean alot huh? (rolls eyes)

                      So now that legacy and earning power is taken from this "unbeaten champ" - - what does he really have at the end of the day?
