        That's why SRL isn't as great as pac
        True but Pac isn't the greatest at any division like Duran and Hagler.

        Nor was he prime when he got knocked out

          I think Hopkins was better and Marquez was excellent. Hopkins had 20 successful world middleweight defense before finally losing at age forty to Taylor. I thought he beat Taylor both fights. He continue fighting as a light heavyweight and won a legit world title at age 50. Two records that will not be broken for a long time if ever.

              Come on now.

              Almost killing Pac with a single punch is enviable, he doesn't have nearly enough signature wins.

                Marquez's best wins are Pacquiao coming off a loss, and a win over Bareera which was extremely close and could've gone to Barrera had they scored his knockdown over Marquez. The rest of Marquez's wins are fights in which he was supposed to win.

                Hopkins is just in a different category. He was already in the legendary status after wins over Trinidad, RJJ, and Dela Hoya.

                  - -U burst into tears like Popkins?

                  Great fighters go out on their shields, not squallin' an bawlin' like some schoolboy getting kicked in 5 separate fights over his last ten years.

                  Never answered drug charges of HGH use leveled by Pascal.

                  All time great nutter butter, low blow, hitting on the break in between squallin' and bawlin'.

                  And BALCO Juan? Great at what? Sipping his pissoir spritzers and ducking Manny twice for peanut paying fights, ie 25k to let kid Chris John box rings around him?

                  Shameless cheats and none to bright too alway gonna attract the soft lads!
