Your mom!

What?!!!!!!!

[-Swizzy-]

Perror made a thread like this and alot of people didn't explain. The usaully, vote and then break out but I'd like for people to explain. I mean

Whitaker's resume
JLR
Hurtado
JCV
JCC
Azumah Nelson
McGirt
Haugen
DLH (Prime) (I felt he won this fight)

Pacquiao's resume
MAB 2x (His best win)
EM Lost, won the 2nd and 3rd fight (3rd fight was unnecessary)
JMM Draw, 2nd fight W (Which most people disagree with)
David Diaz (Weakest Title Holder at 135)
Ricky Hatton (Best JR WW, GREAT win)
DLH
Sasakul
Ledwaba (I still don't know who the fcuk this is, explain why he is such a good name on Pacquiao's resume)


So how could Pacquiao's resume be comparable/ or even better then Whitaker's resume?

you don't think pac's resume is comparable to whitaker's?

think about how pac's resume is going to be perceived in about 10 years time. it might actually be considered better than Whitaker's. you are just witnessing all this right now so that is why it doesn't seem as impressive but as pac's legend grows, he might be considered better than whitaker over time.

LOL. You act like Whitaker's legacy was made 50 years ago. Some of us lived through both, you know LOL. And TRUST ME, we knew as Whitaker was still fighting, that he was one of the very, very best ever to do it.

You're talking like anyone on these boards (save for a few people) knows who the **** Mario Azabache Martinez is.

True, but I know who he is rather well, thus i put him.

To me Pacquiao still has unfinished business with Juan Manuel Marquez. He can settle this by fighting the winner of Marquez/Mayweather.

The Chavez win, which truly was a win despite the incompetent judging, is why Whitaker should be ranked above Pacquiao. Chavez at that time was considered by far the best fighter in the world with only Whitaker challenging his position. The issue was settled in the ring.

Well it is your opinion but don't you have to back it up with fact? Aside from them beating on each other, how are Barrera/Morales' resumes comparable to Nelson's? Because Paulie Ayala and a washed up Kevin Kelly ain't cutting it.

come on now , barrera and erik beat a lot of guys not just ayala and kelly. though those 2 are good wins for anybody.

they're great fighters and HOFers. so was azumah. if you think azumah is better that's fine. if you think azumah has a better resume that's fine. azumah is highly rated but marco and barrera ain't no scrubs either.

[WhoreUs]

Also, a blanket statement such as Marquez is better than most of those listed means little..if Pea has a bigger name. He's got more than just one.

well he listed oscar , diobelys , vazquez , greg , etc.

jmm is better than them imo.

like i said , i'm not trying to say pac has a greater resume. just saying you could argue it.

let the boxing historians debate that one.

the fact that pacquiao is being compared to guys like whitaker and armstrong is already quite an accomplishment for a guy who up until recently was a nobody.

[Chups]

you know, after he beat ledwaba, i never thought that 7 years later we'd be having manny vs pernell resume debates

Hopefully in 2 or 3 years we'll see Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Manny Pacquiao resume debates. Forget Pernell!

Its in no way shape or form, comparable to Whitaker's. Pac's resume is full of guys who wont be remembered 30 years from now, except DLH. Even then, we ALL know that DLH was weight drained. Even Freddie said so.

If we are going to say dumb things like Pacquiao is just as great/ better than Whitaker because of his record. Then Klitschko's are the greatest Heavyweights of all time.

It can't be explained because it's not true lol. Usually people who started watching boxing 5 years ago make those type of statements. Paquiao has been knocked out twice. Once in a title fight. That in itself seperates Whitaker's resume from Pacquiao,not to mention the opponent comparison. Whitaker also unified the 135 pound title and became undisputed champ. Pac has not done that in any division yet. His fans are fast becoming the most annoying with comments like the one you pointed out. One even said he surpasses Henry Armstrong

Look at this guy bringing out the past.....back when Pacquiao was still on diapers.

So? Whitaker lost to Carlos Bojorquez (who's that?) How is that any different?

Anyway just making a point how irrelevant your point is.
