When I saw that A. Nelson had been put that far behind all these other guys, and, most absurdly, that far behind Pac.....well, I just couldn't help but want to cry.
It's quite strange and maybe it's just the times that we live in now and the need for instant gratification, instant results, greed, the want of fame and the weird obsession so many people now have with idolising their heroes and the ridiculous and mythical hype that gets given to top fighters now, that one win (no, I'm not discounting all his other wins, but it was the Oscar win that made some psycho's think he should be top 20 ATG) can make someone think they are the greatest fighter ever. Also, see Mayweather's place from his most ardent fans.
Azumah Nelson at 79?
Where do you have his nemesis Jeff Fenech?Last edited by BennyST; 02-06-2009, 02:40 AM.Comment

It was the socks against Marquez wasn't it? I can't remember. It could have been something to do with ******** or politics as well but I'm pretty sure it was his socks.
Just on great excuses, I remember arguing with this guy once, I think it was on youtube, and he refused to believe that Pac actually got KO'd against Torrecampo by a punch. He kept arguing that he only got hit in the body and that there was some weird head clash or he got hit by an elbow or knee, or kicked in the face with steel-rimmed, headkicker boots or some ****e like that because a punch couldn't KO him like that. Weirdest conversation I've ever had.
Anyway, it's not that bad a list, I've certainly seen much worse, though Pac really does not belong that high at all. No offense AKO. All opinion though.Comment

Is that a joke? Seriously? I don't know if you're fooling or not.
Zaragoza was really old when Morales fought him. Yes, he was still champ, but it was his last fight ever and he was about 40 years old. He was only beaten in his prime by Jeff Fenech, Patterson and Banke from memory. Man, his fights with Banke and Fenech are brilliant. Forgotten wars!
Anyway, it was still a stunning win for such a young guy. Nonetheless, Morales resume is still quite a lot better than Pac's. Barrera's is as well in my opinion.Comment

Well, admittedly, while he wasn't at his peak years he was still good enough to be the WBC champ, have been on a long win streak and had defeated guys such as the very great, undefeated Wayne McCullough and also Hector Sanchez, the fine fighter that had beaten guys like Tracy Patterson and Julio Gervacio.
So yes, it was still a brilliant win and definitely one of his best. It would be one of anyone's best wins. Zaragoza was an amazing fighter even at that age as shown by who he was still beating. Go watch the fight and you'll see how good he still was.Comment

Oh really? Morales, sure and a great win it was. How much credit does D. Diaz get for beating him though or Zahir Raheem? Funny how that works eh?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that he wasn't the first person to KO Oscar. One; because he didn't even KO him and two; because Hopkins had actually KO'd him already. He just retired against Pac. RTD 9, not KO 9. Big difference.Comment
