      Probably, but it would have been a boring as hell fight. Raheem was fundamentally sound, but he refused to engage. He may have frustrated Pac. It would have been an ugly fight.

        Was Chris John handpicked by Marquez to try and get better negotiation for a Pacquiao remtach? I heard that was his motive. Not sure though.

          Tokyo 1990 was a sad day to be a Tyson fan

            I think Pacs agression would of made it an exciting fight.
            Its a shame Zahir career never took off after that, he was a talented fighter

                  I forgot about that, they were looking for a name opponent who they thought would be a bit of a soft touch. I remember Atlas talking about it in his book, lol
