    Thanks. No disrespect to Pac, whose accomplishments are uniquely their opwn and fantastic. Hank probably couldn't navigate the field today like he did then. However, since you note the Welter (record) numbers, it's worth pointing out that it is another spot where Pac lags in comparisons. He's never had a great title reign anywhere.

    Same can't be said of Mayweather. He had a GREAT reign at 130 before he moved up. He's had some lean years but his body of work is excellent.
    Good points. I get the FW, LW and WW title stuff. But we have to look at the whole body of work.

    On Floyd at 130. Could he make the weight still or did he move up becasue of it. I wouldve loved to see him stay at 130-135 a little while longer.

      Out of interest what's your reasoning behind rating Pacman above McLarnin?

          If I had to compare him to someone, I guess I'd go with Pernell Whitaker, due to his slick style.

            PBF is a poor mans DLH. Cant compare PBF to old time fighters. They were FIGHTERS. You didnt get runners like him back then. Dirrel is the new PBF as well.

                  Where did I say that? I'm saying the analogies are between those two men. Pac/McLarnin in terms of greater in their time as of now would be a good debate and not sure where I go with that. Based on the film I've seen of Jimmy, it would be an interesting fight.

                  Pac ain't in Hank's area code yet regardless of how one measures. He COULD get there but he's got some big wins to go.

                    On the real, Sergio Martinez is better then anyone on Calzaghe's resume. If we're talking about accomplishments and stuff, I can understand that...but beating Sergio Martinez is alot tougher then beating anyone Calzaghe did, especially considering the fact that Kessler wasn't really all that/ B-Hop was 43.

                      Yeah I feel you on that. Most of Pacs fans on here dont understand that.
