Pacquiao is Henry Armstrong in this era, who is PBF?

So basically you're saying 14 pounds is what makes him as great as Armstrong......................................

[QUOTE=Pac is no Henry Armstrong by a long shot. I take this as disrespect towards Armstrong![/QUOTE]

yeah right. but saying Floyd is greater than SRR is respectful huh? **** Floyd is not even on Pac's level then *****s would claim he's the GOAT. Shaddap..

[Evil Abed]

Floyd is a hybrid of Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker.

He beats Mosley, and Manny he can make his case for being better then them.

A win vs PW wouldn't hut ether.

Then disprove my points instead of just flaming with your responses.

Who at 126 was better than Barrera when pac beat him?
who at 130 was better than Marquez when pac beat him?
Who at 140 was better than Hatton when pac beat him
who at 147 was better than Cotto when Pac beat him?

Why hasn't anyone of you guys presented any good counter arguements. Fact is, outside of Diaz at LW, Pac has constentatly faced the best guys at each division (just like Armstrong). Pac became the man (by beating the best fighter in 3 different division) in the span of 2 years just like armstrong.(lineal champ Barrera at 126, lineal champ Hatton at 140, Top 3 WW in Cotto). \

Is Armstrong greater than pac and higher on the ATG list.....absolutely, and I never even debated that. Did Armstrong beat the man at 126, LW and WW....absolutely and he gets full credit (esp. from me sinc eI am a fan)


But the fact is this:
Armstrong establish himself as an elite fighter at 126 and rose all the way up to establish himself as an elite fighter at 147

Pacquiao establish himself as an elite fighter at 112 and rose all the way up to establish himself as an elite fighter at 147 also.

I threw out the division arguement from the jump because it's not fair to armstrong. So my stance has always been what is more impressive 126-147 or 112-147? This is why I say Pac's rise up in weight classes has been more impressive. This has nothing to do with who is the better fighter. I mean I can't dumb it down anymore than that for you and greatshark. I mean Im really starting to question you guys reading comprehension skills.

FWIW pac fought the Man at 112 and 122 also...just incase you try to come in that he cherry picked his title at those weight classes.

I dunno. I don't think simply getting bigger is anything to brag about. What you achieve while you are at the higher weights is what's important. And while Pacquiao has clearly accomplished a great deal (enough to be top 25-ish all time in my view), his accomplishments are still not as good as Armstrong's were. So I'd say Armstrong's rise in weight was more impressive.

I never said Floyd was better than SRR so get off my **** *******! No modern fighter is on the same level as those golden age boxers.

LMMFAO who gives a f#ck about what Larry Merchant has to say!!!

['Sugar' Freddi]

It's not hate. It's the hate for "fans" like you guys that try to throw around double standards and act like it's okay because Pacquiao is ATG, blah blah blah.

I don't know what's that about on your sig. I didn't make the statement "Pacquiao is the Henry Armstrong of our generation", Merchant did.

Don't believe me?

Look:


I don't know how you define *******, but if a ******* is someone who just backs up Pacquiao even with the wrong reasons, I am not one. I really don't take a side and in fact, I like Mayweather. How about that?!
