A question to Pacquiao fans only...

[miron_lang]

Cmon man, PAC had him for a tune-up for Morales rubbermatch. Certainly Larios ain't in the league of MAB, EM or Marquez.

I agree on all points. But you didnt answer my question.


Do you consider Oscar Larios as a B level fighter?

[johncods]

I love watching the fight with elicier julio, he blew out solid a veteran in 2 rounds. That was a hatton like beating.

[bojangles1987]

Hell yeah I still love watching those fights.

The first Barrera fight is incredible to see the raw skill Pac had.

The two Marquez fights are classics.

The first Morales fight is a hell of a fight and a gutsy performance by Pac.

[Safety]

Of course. But only highlights like in his greatest hits.
He's a way better fighter than he was then.

[Republica]

I really love the Torrecampo fight. The one where Pac gets KTFO. That was a classic.

I also love the heart he showed in that Singsurat fight. Wow was he great that night.

Oh yeah and how the ref helped him survive the Hussein fight
after Hussein dropped Pac with a jab. What a chin Manny showed.

That first Morrales fight was a war. The one where Morrales beat his ass for 12 rounds. Classic

3 Judges scores were 115-113 identical. Stay with the facts, Erik didn't beat PAC for 12 rounds.

Yea. But that's just my opinion.

[miron_lang]

Yea. But that's just my opinion.

I see.


If you're using the A B C levels wherein Guys like Floyd and Pac are A's then you're correct.


But in my almost 10 yrs of Boxing forum existence I have observed that fighters that won legitimate world tittle's weren't considered B level fighters much more 2 Division title holders.

also an opinion.

another way of categorizing them would be

Elite fighters
Former Champions
GateKeepers
Contenders
Prospects

I agree TS, its hard to watch his older fights, he only threw a 1-2 the entire fights, very hard to watch.

I thought *****s were Boxing Fans?
If you watch Pac's earlier fights its the progression and maturity of his boxing skill to current day that is visible to all.
His style was one-dimensional but exciting, now his right hand and movement have GREATLY improved.

Its funny that Floyd never reviews tapes, but he was at Pac/Morales and cheering for Pac. He knows what Pac can do then and has improved since, which is probably why he is shook..
