      Perhaps the most blatant, recent example of this is Rolly Romero. Rolly is technically a two-division champion. It’s laughable, really.

Even as newer weight classes were added, it remained fairly difficult to earn a belt. These days, a guy looking to juice up his legacy can rack up a “gimme” strap versus a weak “champ.” So easy to impress when people don’t look beneath the surface.

      there’s a reason why manny picked Mario for his comeback fight and hasn’t mentioned Brian or Jaron

      belt holder does not equal the best

        So there you go chatting total shit as per usual. Do you ever get bored of sounding retarded?
        Upon becoming the ppv goat

        Only time Floyd did two easies in a row was Berto and Conor

        Acceptable at the end of his career

        the boxing gods willed that Floyd go shut up ufc fans

        other than that Floyd would at minimum make major fights every other match

        Floyd even quadruple stacked 4 hall of famers beating them all easily: Oscar-Ricky-Juan-Shane

            Floyd fought champions but they were never toughest opponents available. I mean when floyd best guerrero, ortiz, maidana, berto. It's not as if there weren't other boxers out there that floyd could ve fought that would have beat them also.
            Pac was 46 and not fought 4years, who do you expect him to fight? Any belt holder should be a challenge
            But pac is greater than duran id say. Cotto said pac, who was a former light flyweight, was toughest he fought and cotto fought nelo.......Mosley said same thing, it's absolutely mind blowing when you take deep breath and think about it?

                Duran has a win over Sugar ray… i like Duran.. but his resume doesn’t run as deep as pacquiao’s.. he was an extremely dominant at 135lbs.. but who did he beat there really?

                he hanged against the fab 4 seems to be where he gets the benefit of the doubt… im sure he can compete at any era. But resume wise.. pacquiao clears him.

                  Roberto is arguably the goat lightweight

                  manny made no case for being the goat of any weight

                  Roberto beat his version of Floyd, Sugar Leonard

                  manny fumbled hard when faced with his version of Sugar Leonard, Floyd, who won by wide decision and stayed in first gear the entire time

                  manny didn’t live up to the hype of being THE MEDIA CHOSEN ONE to get Floyd lol

                    Roberto getting a PRIME Sugar Leonard could be the biggest win ever in boxing

                    Sugar Leonard is top 10 atg

                      Pacquiao... Just because Duran is old school doesn't mean he's better. Some folks already listed reasons why here, but I think one that resonates more than any is Duran literally quitting in a fight. Shaking his head saying "NO MAS". Pacquiao would rather be KO'd than ever quitting. Even after being repeated fouled against Agapito Sanchez, he never quit.

                      At the end of the day, if you were in a street fight and had to pick some buddies, or hell, bring someone along with you into a war, I think I'll take the guy that doesn't quit over the one that shown he can.
