    Notice i put IMO - in my opinion. Notice there also isnt any evidence that Pac is better than Tyson, its all opinion. On face value Pacs recent form looks great, but if you go into it his opponents have been lacking a lot.

        are you familiar with pac's resume pre 135?
        So your whole hypothesis is based on what would have happened but doesn't account for what actually did happen (Douglas/holyfield).

        You're a real winner. I'm glad you taught me something tonite.

          You mean evidence like beating a couple prime hof'ers and winning lineal titles? That kind of evidence?

              Ok, good. This looked like it would be close, but for once, the *******s did something worth while.

                Resume, it is Pacquiao.

                Skills, I have to give the edge to Tyson.
                Why am I not surprised? LOL

                  If were talking skills then it has to be Tyson. He was the youngest heavyweight champ of all time and had he kept with Rooney he would of dominated the heavyweight division in the 90s up until he retired.

                  If were talking resume its Pacquiao.

                    Wait a second, you think that Pacquiao is better and more skilled than Ray Robinson but that Tyson is more skilled than both of them? Whaaa?

                      Yes Pacquiao is better than Robinson. Chin, speed, footwork, power etc

                      Watch Tyson Vs berbick, Spinks and Holmes. Tyson is the most skilled fighter of all time prime for prime.
