    He still has nice wins on his resume and we were really talking about Foreman's resume.

      Pac beats a prime Oscar. You don't realise how big the gap between them was in that fight, Oscar was absolutely nowhere so even in his prime he wasn't so much better that he'd get close to winning.

        World titles don't mean anything if the opponent isn't any good. The main criteria(for me at least) is opponents. In that area he doesn't surpass these other guys...

          Man you don't know what you're talking about. HOFers are different from ATG's.
          I think you're just flooding. Typical Floyd fanboys.

            The man that beat the man that beat the man had to be good. That is why so much more weight is put on the ring belt rather than the alphabets. Were not talking about world titles were talking about lineal titles.

              The nice wins are what got him into the HOF. He's not an ATG.

              You can argue all you want but you seem to be having difficulty finding reasons why Manny wouldn't be if he beat Floyd.

                This is like saying a book is great/awful when you're only a little more than half way through it. Let the man finish his work and then make your pronouncements.

                As is, I'm just glad to be watching Pacquiao fight. It's really been a privilege to see such a great boxer in my lifetime. Enjoy it while it lasts cause we all know it won't last long.

                  For some, it's really hard to understand..
