When moving waaay up in weight and fighting the bigger fighter. I think PAC has alot more to deal with compared to Duran when he faced Barkley and when Roy Jones Jr. fought John Ruiz.
De La Hoya is much more skilled than Iran Barkley and I don't think the other even deserves to be mentioned. Also, DLH is already considered by many as an All-time great, and Ruiz and Barkley, well I'm not even sure if they'd make it into the HOF.
Ruiz and Barkley during their time, were not even considered the best at their weightclass, P4P nowhere near as talented as De La Hoya.
Joto today is considered the best junior middleweight.
What makes it really challenging for PAC is the fact that Joto has a jab. Duran and Roy Jones Jr. didn't have to worry about Barkley's or Ruiz's jabs because they really didn't have any. It just makes it so much easier for the lil guy to move in when facing the bigger fighter without having to worry about a jab.
PAC is the f**kin' man. Or should I say just plain insane.
