    Fixed. What has Pascal done?

      I know you hate Mayweather an unreasonable amount, but come on. there is literally nothing that separates Pascal from someone like Ortiz or Judah for Mayweather.

      Their resumes are very close to each other, and I'm not getting into that argument, but to say Pascal is better than any win other than Corrales is ridiculous.

        Now that I would agree with. Other than Corrales, I don't think Floyd has a win that compares to Trinidad for Hopkins.

          You didn't fix anything, but that was simply proven a point. There was no need to dig deep into B-Hops vast resume & bring out the big guns. Pascal was the #1 lightheavy in the world when B-Hop whooped him. But like I said outside of Corrales, Floyd has yet to fight someone like that, age factored in of course. All Tito does is further distance the two.

              ^Great Interpretation!

              I would go with:

              Mayweather
              B-Hop
              ROBERT GUERRERO (VERY UNDERRATED)
              Andre Ward
              Nonito Donaire

              Others: Gamboa (nobody has been able to force Gamboa to switch things up so most people haven't see it from him yet but he can use different styles/ways to beat you), Timothy Bradley (does so many things SO WELL that it helps make up for his lack of GREAT POWER), Chad Dawson, JMM, Joseph Agbeko (showed that against Mares after starting off slow, he figured Mares out late in the fight), Rigondeaux (known for being defensive but showed against Casey that he is even Dangerous when coming forward

              some of the up and coming fighters with Versatility: Mikey Garcia, Gary Russell Jr, Hank Lundy (yeah people hate him but very versatile and talented)

                Shane was ranked #1 WW when Floyd whooped him as well. Shane Mosley > Jean Pascal.

                  Judah, Mosley, Ortiz, Castillo 2, and Hernandez are all equal to the Pascal win. Just because a guy is in a certain position, doesn't mean he's that good. The only reason Hopkins winning that title is an achievement at all is age, Pascal himself was an incredibly weak champion. It's downright embarrassing that Dawson lost to him.

                    Age factored in of course, he is not. But yes, Mosley was a solid win because Floyd had no idea how shot he was, he just came off of 1 of his best wins.

                      Yup, Castillo which is near the level of Hopkins win over Trinidad, Castillo is a greater win than Corrales, no doubt about that.
