Pac's Career Put Into Perspective

[BodyBagz]

You forgot that he used to put rocks in his shoes to make weight! Also forgot to mention his shoe shining business, eating table scraps, and his music career!

I’m sure Spoon23 would have lots to add!

Nice analysis, btw.

When I used to drink, and smoke weed, I would sleep good like PAC in the photo you posted.

I need some smoke now, but my guy got arrested and deported!

Pac would be disappointed by the lack of Pac fan participation.

That deep, coma like sleep....I wonder what he was dreaming about

When I’ve been out like that, after a bad car crash, I lost two days without a dream. It was just instant blackness.

But, so many PAC A Manics weren’t so lucky. Some in the Philippines died of shock and heart attacks.

I’m glad I wasn’t in Manila pounding hot Filipina’s, someone might have poisoned me!

Had Pac rolled up his sleeve back in the day, May would have flattened him too. The suicide rate would have been a pandemic over there.

This fight definitely did not live up to the hype, regardless of the money it made. While Pac did suffer a humiliating KO loss, he followed that up with 3 easy AF fights.

May, on the other hand, had a rougher time leading up to the fight (the Nelo near shutout notwithstanding).

Pac's excuse is terrible and low. Yeah, some doctor spoke on it but there is no sign of the injury during the fight. And let's be honest. Various injuries tend to happen during a fight all the time.

It was a dull fight where May didn't really press the fight and Pac's attack was reduced to desperation mode. It was a clear W for May but us fans lost. I have no doubt had this fight happened in 2010, May by KO would have been the result.

Remember, prior to moving up, May was a dangerous puncher (despite having hand issues). 24 of his 27 KOs were in his prime and best weight. At WW, May relied on his superior boxing abilities and in-fight adjustments to get him through.

Up to this point in Pac's WW career -

DLH**
Cotto*
Clottey
Margarito**
Mosley
JMM 3
Bradley 1^
JMM 4 ( )
Rios
Bradley 2
Algieri
May (UD L)

At this point, I'd give Pac's WW career a D on level of difficulty.

JMM and May.

All others were either shot, soft hitters, claused or a combo of. Pac would never be good enough to trouble May and too eager to trade to beat JMM clearly.

To think, there is a thread floating around saying Pac is a great WW and #3 ATG.....

* = Clause
** = Claused AND the worst version of the opponent
^ = Robbery

[BodyBagz]

At this point, I'd give Pac's career resume a C.

[BodyBagz]

Guys Maidana would have beaten that Pac beat -
DLH**
Clottey
Margarito**
Mosley*
Rios*
Algieri
Lucas*
Broner ( )
Horn

* = Shot
** = Shot and claused

[BodyBagz]

Next up is the 3rd installment of the epic battle with Bradley. Of course Pac won UD. Guy with little power who insists on trading. How can Pac not win ?

1 gift per career, Tim.

Pac fans will enter once I get to his fight with Thurman
