    Only way Pac wouldn't win a poll on here is if the other option is Robinson, Armstrong or Ali...

    A better test would be a fighter from the 70's to present...

      Im talking in an all time sense, Warp.

His wins over MAB, Morales, JMM (even though i thought marquez could have got the nod in either) trump Conn's wins over guys like Lesnevich, Zale and Zivic. Manny also rose through the weights in a way we haven't seen since Duran and Armstrong. I'm not a fan of idiotic pac tards claiming he is the ebst fighter ever, but he is a better fighter than Conn was.
          Conn started at lightweight and fought top fighters all the way up to heavyweight. Zivic, Dundee, Corbett III, Yarosz, Krieger, Apostoli, Lesnivich, as well as top heavyweights of the day. How can you say Pac is better without knowing about these fighters?

          Myu whole point to this thread is that a nuthugger for any fighter will blindly just vote for their guy. That many fans not versed in past fighters will just make a blind assumption without knowing all the facts. Fact is, Conn fought better fighters through higher weight classes sometimes giving up over 50lbs.

            I hear you, Im just trying to make a point that most fans really don't know what they're talking about and make major leaps and assumptions. I wan't to know how people can't rank a fighter over another without knowing the circumstances of the day or being familiar with the competition.

                So whats up? So far only one guy has had the guts to even present an argument. I thought this would be an easy one for you guys. Guess not.

                  P4P? I don't know much of Conn except the Louis article but being 169lbs in a heavyweight match speaks of serious skills. But will not vote because I really haven't seen him fight. If you could post a video then I probably could raise an opinion.
