        Good point. I remember Oscar turned down the Margarito fight, to fight Pac instead, it didnt work out to well though, lol

            EdIT: im sure he was seen as a bit of a soft touch or is that a case of historical revision?
            at the time tyson was invincible.

            everyone was considered a soft touch and tyson was continuosly beating the top 10 guys.

            at the time evander hadn't established himself at heavy yet though he was highly ranked at heavy because of his cruiserweight credentials.

                        Judah vs. Baldomir. This was supposed to be an easy win for Zab but he got whooped.

                                        Morales is my boy, but yeah that was a bad pick. Do you think Pac would of done better against Raheem?
