Clottey and Johnson dont really compare when you look at who Johnsons has fought:

Hopkins, Bute, Froch, Jones Jr, Tarver, Ottke etc etc. May be old, but been around the block and only really lost to top quality fighters


Id only agree with Mosley - Taylor comparison. Both looked on the decline and it proved correct in their respective fights.


I also think that the Dirrell comment is irrelavant as Pacquiao lost against Bradley and did not win.


You could do your own thread and have this:


Who has fought the better opposition over the past 4 years and why?

Pacquiao vs Froch



I bet 80% say Froch has faced better.


I accept your opinion and im not disputing the fact that Pacquiao is a legendary fighter, i just believe he has been hyped up over the years with this 8 weight world champ crap, when 2 of them were catch weight fights. One against a drained Cotto and one against a bum who didnt even deserve a shot at the WBC vacant title!

Sounds like Canelo there.

Or Chavez Jr

Where were all these Pacquiao were was never that good articles before he lost a close split decision to Bradley.

Just a few members trying to make a name for themselves here and not looking very good doing it. You know its bad when Az agrees with you.

I'm not one of those "I like Flomo there I hate Pac" type of posters. I have always been highly critical of Pac's opponents in that they appear to be tailor made for his style or simply washed up (SSM). I have said ever since the Cotto fight that the weight stip hindered Cotto (why add it if it wasn't designed to hinder him). I have been consistent in this and no looking for the next bandwagon to jump on.

Moreover I have said that Pac beat Tim regardless of what the judges saw. Pac is an excellent fighter and has done a remarkable achievement in winning at so many weights. Probably never to be done again. But when you put yourself up there, prepare to have your achievement scrutinised. Ditto Floyd.

Whether or not Mayweather's win over Hatton was superior to Manny's is irrelevant. I'm not arguing whose win was better, I'm simply highlighting that Pacquiao's win over Hatton, from any angle you look at it from, is was a truly excellent one, and one which he deserves full credit for. Pacquiao's demolition of Cotto was a better performance and achievement, for me, than Mayweather's victory over the same man, but that doesn't change the fact that it was still an excellent win for Floyd, and one for which he deserves a great deal of credit and acclaim.

Only an impressive performance "to a degree", you say? What does it take to please you? How many other divisional number ones, who have been regarded as such for as long as Hatton was, have been obliterated in such a manner over the past couple of decades? And of those, how many of them were obliterated by a man who'd previously never even fought in that weight class?

It's nothing new in boxing, and so I shouldn't be surprised, but I can't help but be taken aback by the sway in judgement on Pacquiao over the past year or so - the backlash from his fortunate decision against Marquez and his workmanlike performances against Mosley and Bradley has been ridiculous. How anyone can be so dismissive of his win over Hatton is beyond me, to be honest.

Who actually wants this rematch?

I can only assume that the reason people want this rematch to happen is so Pac can right the L on his record. But, if this is the case, Marquez should get two more v Pac until he levels it as he likely won two of the three bouts they had.
