Pac has a chance to fight a slick fighter.
Lets see if he picks Valero or Marg, some more face first tailor made fighters.

Junior Jones last fight at 122 was in 1998 and pac didnt move up there until dec 99.
Jones last fight at 126 was in 2000 and Pac didn't get into that weight class until 2003.
Neither were in the same weight class at the same time.

"Manny still hasnt' fought any slick fighters"
Manny hasn't fought a heavyweight either. Pacquiao is clearly ducking!!!

Johnson would have never fought Pac then, because Pac was still a prospect. Johnson business at 112 was basically done and he was moving up to bigger and better things. Maybe if Manny could have made weight, they could have fought at 115 or 118, but unfortunatly Sigurat fight happened.

So what? TS is basically saying, Pacquiao hasn't faught PWill or Mayweather.
Name anyone else who is so called "slick" and Pacquiao destroys them. Which is pretty much Bradley and I think Pacquiao owns the fuck out of him.

Pacquiao-Sasakul didn't crown a lineal champion, if that's what you mean. The linearity dates back to Miguel Canto in the 70's. Canto held the WBC belt, and it hasn't been vacated since Canto held it. Hence why Koki Kameda is already the lineal champ.

I thought I did but maybe your right. I alway wondered about that though because Sasakul was the top fighter in that division at the time (atleast to my knowledge). Why wasn't it for the lineal belt if Sasakul was considered the best in the division at the time?

Originally posted by O.S.I.R.I.S View PostCool. I was aware of them fighting at 112 but I just thought it was no point in bringing it up because by the time Pac become a legit player in the division, Johnson was making an exit to scoop up Tapia's vacant super flyweight belt. I wouldn't even reply to you like this, but I know some Floyd fans would take what you said and twist it to fit an agenda.....lol

Sasakul was already the lineal champ. When you said 'crown a lineal champ' I thought you meant that the lineage starts there. It doesn't, it goes back to the 70's.
The lineage hasn't been broken since it started.
