No announcement yet.
There is no way possible SRR wouldve did to Hatton, Cotto and Marg what Pac did.

Originally posted by TouchyAndalou View PostPacquiao's rise through the weights is incredible, no doubt about that, but when you're looking at it from an all-time perspective, you have to consider what he did at each of those weights. Take lightweight for instance. He beat up David Diaz, by far the weakest belt holder in that division, a C-level fighter in general... and that's it. It's not like he cleared out any of these divisions. Is this more impressive than completely dominating a single division for over a decade? Maybe. Probably, even. I mean, for a guy who started at 108lbs to fight for a light middleweight title is pretty miraculous. But we'll only truly see just where Pacquiao stands all-time once he retires, especially if he fights Mayweather before doing so.

Exactly the reason why I hang out in the lounge most of the time now. The NSB forum has become a graveyard of dumb fanboy threads.

I'm pretty sure SRR will be as or maybe more dominating if he wouldve fought hatton, cotto, and marg.

This Forum has been taken over by LITTLE KIDS who THINK THEY KNOW ABOUT BOXING lol
I love how people try to call SRR, Henry Armstrong and other guys WHO ARE ALREADY REGARDED AS LEGENDS..."OVERRATED" hahaha that is LAUGHABLE! They speak in absolutes as if what they are saying is 100% CORRECT AND ACCURATE and everybody else is WRONG lol
Pacquiao and Mayweather are the ones being OVERRATED IMO, especially by fans who only been following boxing for about 2-3 years since Mayweather and Pacquiao became POPULAR
Neither would have survived in the FANTASTIC 4 ERA (Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Leonard), NEITHER would have made it past Duran at 135, not even sure if they make it out of Aaron Pryor/Alexis Arguello ERA at 140
Neither of them probably would have fought those guys just like they are doing now...THEY BOTH CHERRY PICK! Only difference is that Arum does the ducking/cherry picking for Pacquiao and Mayweather does it HIMSELF lol
Don't worry about Past Legends, their legacy can't be taken away from them as much as many of you WISH you could take it away from them, Mayweather and Pacquiao are trying to get the RESPECT THEY HAVE/HAD
Regardless of how you Rate SSR, one of the 1st Names that comes up when you start discussing the greatest fighters of all times is SSR...NOT PACQUIAO...NOT MAYWEATHER...unless maybe your under the age of 18 or you just started really watching boxingLast edited by sicko; 04-23-2011, 09:38 PM.
