    The Pacquiao/ Ali comparison

    Alot of people talk about how Ali fought the best of his era but Ali was fortunate to be in a deep pool full of prime heavyweight talent.

    Pacquiao does not have that same pool of talent to fight and you can only give him props for fighting whoever is infront of him. Pacquiao maybe as good technically as Ali but Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, Hatton et al are certainly not the Holmes, Foremans, Fraizers and Listons of the Modern welterweight division.

    The only shame is the BS Top Rank/ Golden boy dispute preventing some tasty match ups from being made.
