      Boxing In the 1930' and 40's it should have been the US Title cause most boxers and most Boxing fights were held in the United Staes. Today it is much more global and the talent is much higher i doubt Armstrong gets passes Robert Gurreo at 135 today

        Its called protecting your cash cow from being exposed.

        When he fights anyone with boxing skills he gets made to look like a one handed amateur.
        Beating the crap of coward Mosley for 12 rounds with out losing 1 mintue in 36 mintues of boxing makes you look like an amatuer but I know it's difficult for you since your IQ must be no higher than 65

          obviously Henry is more accomplished by far, dude didn't cherry pick. But pac would win if they were to fight just my opinion and i hate pac. Henry's come forward style and etc feeds into what pac likes to do.

              Im not sure he belongs from 50 -100 tbh. He hasn't beaten anyone in their prime since Barrera.

              All his opponents are scientifically picked by Arum to ensure he can win. His whole career after JMM 2 is a mirage.
              I've got to disagree with that. Pac is at the very least Top 50 IMO.

              He is a great fighter and has achieved alot in the sport. Beat alot of great fighters and the way he beat Barrera all the way back in 03 was just spectacular.

              It's just the last few years that leave a bad taste in peoples mouths.

              If we remember his whole career there is no question he is a great great fighter.

                  When did Pac defend his WW title 18 times?

                  When did Manny hold the Lightweight, Featherweight and Welterweight championships. Key word Championships...not a belt out of 5...THE belt in all 3 of those classes?

                  When was Manny's 27 fight KO streak?

                  Does Manny have wins over 10 HOFamers?

                  When is the last time Manny went to middleweight and tossed a strong legit champ around the ring like a rag doll?

                  Did Pac jump straight from FW to WW and dominate a long reigning HOFamer?

                  Can you put Pac as a Top 10 ATG fighter in 3 divisions?


                  What the heck did I miss. Please dont ever compare him to Henry. The only thing they have in common is that they were both professional boxers.
                  Damn, No Ceilings went off all I can say is....

                    Hahaha this thread is so pathetic that actual knowledgeable pac fans want no part of the lunacy lol. I give Manny his due in this era but that's it. The buck stops there.

                      Fighters back then didn't make the big purses they do now a days. They had to fight so often because they didn't make that much money. They would basically fight anybody for a payday including malnutritioned bums.

                      Pacquiao would destroy Armstrong anywhere from 130-147. He can even do 15 rounds if Armstrong really want it.
