    He either is or he isn't and the answer is he is.

        And yet no one has ever done or achieved what pac had achieved and i think no one will ever achieved it.

          Well compared to everyone this era he did better than anyone did. His overall resume is outstanding.
          Hes top 3. Beating Thurman at 40, with 71 fights under belt and being a former flyweight is just indicative and reflective of Pacs career. Hes always done incredible things. Floyd fighting Berto, Connor, and tenshin is a sad reflection of how floyd has conducted his career, a cherry picker to the end. His career followed a pattern and was easy to predict he wouldn't go out on his shield. Zero at all costs.

            He's a had legendary career; but I'm not basing it on the 8-division accomplishment because, again, the number of modern weight classes and multiple "world" title belts in each made it easier to cherry-pick than during previous generations.

              Right. If you forget about belts and just examine the people he fought and what happened in the ring, he gave many fans many fabulous fights.

                To become oldest ww and only 4 time WW champ gives credence to his 8 divisions which could have been 10.
                Yes he can be goat. The goats were only human also.
                great post

                and isn't it funny how this skinny kid supposedly took steroids and yet is still doing it at 40 even after countless wars, whereas you have these "defensive fighters" in the woman beater *Floyd and Marquez who are all out of the game due to their steroid use and body breakdown

                ps: says I need to spread some reputation before giving it to you again

                  Even if pac fought in the 8 original weight classes he is a 4 division champion and still no one had ever accomplished that.

                    Pac did not win a title at 126 and 140... and you can't really count guys like Diaz and Margarito

                    Pac is a 3-4 division champ... like Broner

                    Armstrong held 3 genuine world titles AT THE SAME TIME !!

                      - -Clearly you ain't.
