Being the longest reigning junior lightweight champ ever is average?

Does a win over Sandy Saddler make one average?
How about wbc making him the greatest superfeatherweight, is WBC made up of filipinos now?

Lets see your fave fighters match an 'average' fighter's accomplishments.

get real, the man was on his way out and retired a few fighters after...

he defended his belt against ****ty ass fighters in the phillipines... kept getting beat by japanese and thailand fighters like most are today... i take that back hes below average...

and dont compare your chumps against our real champs, who the *** do you think you are homie? you must be on crack to compare someone like sanchez against elorde or villa

This thread is proof that the Pac fans on b-scene are just that..Pac fans..they NOTHING about the sport or its history...

They dont know who Flash was..and they dont know Pancho Villa.

They dont even post in Donaire threads..theyre just 15 year old fan boys with an obsession for a guy they seen in a nike commercial...

Pure nut huggers.

This thread is proof.

No love for Flash?

you guys are aware that the Philippines is on the other side of the world right? It's not 5pm in the afternoon there.

If it were so easy then why are his accomplishments not replicated or outdone today?

The points i raised were just not of my own, but shared by experts, writers, sanctioning bodies and historians. these are the people who matter and will always be more credible than some random poster such as you.

You should call these people and tell 'em they are high on crack for thinking such.

LOL at the name calling, i just raised valid points and you lost your nerve, don't cry now.
