      Floyd is not a better fighter than Pac because he is more skilled.
      How often do you get two people who fight, and its not the one with skills who wins the fight. Having skills is one thing, but can you utilize it come fight night? We will find that out when Floyd fights pac.
      If you have amazing skills but you have no power, or chin, or speed, or heart.

      Lets for example say there are many fighters more skilled than Pac, you cant call them better fighters, because Pac would beat the bejesus out of them, regardless of your skills.
      JMM was supposedly more skilled than Pac. Are we saying JMM is a better fighter than Pac as well now?

      Sorry this is about BH isnt it?

          Willie Pep Vs Sandy Saddler series is black and white reasoning to why H2H match up's have very little meaning in ranking greatness.

          Saddler beat Pep 3 out of 4 times. Yet, there is quite literally no argument to dispute that Willie Pep is the greater fighter of the two.

            Every single fight since Bob Arum has been involved in Boxing has been televised.

              With the exception of Greb and Flowers, I've seen footage of all the fighters, not that it really matters since I go by resume. You used Pea and Chavez fights with Oscar? I don't need to see the fights to know they were past prime, like i don't need to have seen Duran beat Leonard to know its an amazing win, footage can help buts its not essential for judging a resume.

              Please elaborate on how I've overrated these fighters in comparison to Hopkins with detailed looks at the resumes of STFU.

                Out of the two Saddler had his number.in modern terms its like Forrestt Mosley.

                    And who is greater out of Shane Mosley and Vernon Forrest?

                    The same goes for Pep. Regardless to the fact Saddler beat him 3 times, Pep is by far the greater fighter.
