Do you think williams is the Armstrong of our generation

[Pacdbest]

Pacquiao is more similar to Michael Spinks than Armstrong if you ask me. I don't see much of a comparison between Armstrong's simultaneous holding of three linear championships while moving up and down in weight (spanning six modern divisions), and Pacquiao moving up significantly in weight once to beat a fighter who hadn't fought in the division in years (i.e. not a champion).

Well the Boxing analyst & Boxing historian saw it that way already. They already compared Pac to armstrong. It's already recorded in History. Your opinion doesn't matter anymore.

Pac already is the Modern Day Armstrong.

The new search are going on now for the next Manny Pacquiao. I guess we have to wait another 50+ year for the next Pac.

Pac is NOTHING like Armstrong.

To have the same achivement as pac's in the last 12 months reguards moving up weight we might have to wait 50 weeks but thats pushing it.

Fair, But Armstrong couldnt have done what he did in the modern day setup wouldnt you agree?

Of course, because Pac-mania rules boxing now. Everyone blindly follow

You can't really compare eras. Armstrong did have a strange body type which enabled him to make those jumps, but his best weight was probably welter. I think the Williams comparison is apt solely because Williams has shown the rare ability to potentially win and defend titles at multiple weights (moving up and back down) simultaneously.

AS i told you, Pac was already compared to armstrong. It's already history. You can Cry & discredit Pac but your opinion doesn't count anyways coz you're a Nobody compared to HBO, The Ring & ESPN experts..

Bull****, Diaz is a paper champ and ODLH hasn't held a title at 147 in a decade.

Welcome back to reality.

Pac has won titles at 2 weights in 12 months and that all.

i remember lampley asked steward if pacquiao is this generation's armstrong... steward said yes, he would say so...

but between your word and emmanuel steward's man? it is your word that trumps steward's hands down... youre the man...

Armstrongs achievement can never be duplicated in the present time, with the alphabet belts, boxing politics,etc.imo the closest thing we have is pac, it pales in comparison with what henry but you rather have williams based on "he has shown the rare ability to potentially win and defend titles at multiple weights (moving up and back down) simultaneously". No disrespect and all but one is speculation the other is reality.

I'm a realist and when it comes down to it i fcuking right.

Armstrong: World titles @126/135/147 defended the 135/147 in the same fight

Pacquiao: world titles @130/135

No comparison what so ever and frankly to even try and make one is pure nuthuggery.
