      Pacman beat PBF his two greatest wins, in more impressive fashion, what more can you say? Pacman is greater than PBF right now.

            A soon to be Hall of fame fighter is not elite?

              judah - lost to cotto by tko, lost to clottey - a gatekeeper now
              baldomir - lost to forrest, just above bum status now
              de la hoya - got tkoed by a blown up lightweight in 8 rounds.
              hatton - got ktfo in 2 rounds by a blown up lightweight
              Judah is on the same level as Hatton. Decent fighter. De La Hoya was weight drained. You kno the Oscar Floyd fought was far better prepared.

              Baldomir has always been a journeyman every1 knew Forrest would skool him.

              You really didn't reveal anything here...

                ******ed comparison.

                Paq threw five times the amount of power punches Floyd threw in that same time frame, so it kinda evens itself out.

                If Floyd was a volume puncher like Paq and failed to get Hatton down quick, then it would be a fair comparison, but he'd rather throw one accurate, effective punch/counter and skip backwards into defense mode again.

                Different styles man.

                On another note.

                Floyd fights off the ropes to give the impression that smaller fighters are actually pressuring him when in those situations, HE is the power puncher playing possum. Hattons punches hardly bothered the guy, and you cant pressure someone with shots that dont bother you unless you're a very high volume puncher, which Hatton isn't really.

                Anyway, pretending that you're scared of a smaller fighter whos punches aren't even moving your guard and calling it the hardest fight of your life, is just a way to convincingly fight smaller guys without the criticism.

                  Firstly cong**** to manny...I like manny pac as a fighter, im a fan..is all thrills but theres alot of people here who glorify him as if he can beat any1 out there... I actually cant wait to see floyd ko him cause of this, which he will.

                  floyds defence and reach will prevail. pacman will hav to be the agressor..floyd wont walk on to shots like hatton did.

                  hatton has to retire..he looked terrible. pacman whooped him.

                  pacman now imo number 1 p4p..when floyd beats marquez its all even and they will have to square off to settle it.

                      Having zero defeats are valued the same exact same amount in your "L" column on box rec when it comes to a boxers legacy.

                      Zero.

                      Look at Calzaghe. Retired without a single defeat, but many people dont care or even know about him. Why? Because he didn't have any career defining wars (I mean REAL WARS) against any other big names or he didn't try hard enough to etch his name into peoples minds.

                      In less than a years time (if Froch stops calling his name), noone is gonna give a damn about Calzaghe.

                      Look at Floyd. Not a single defeat, retired with no defeats thinking he was gonna go sit down as the greatest of all time.

                      Everyone (with brains) said **** no. You dont quit in your prime and think that you'll be remembered as the greatest.

                      It's about memorable instances, inside and outside of the ring.
