    Let's look at his "accomplishments"
    Hatton- Was never an elite fighter, and past his boxing prime
    DeLaHoya-Weight drain and shot
    Marquez- Most boxing experts and fans say he lost both fights despite the 4 knockdowns
    Morales- Past his boxing prime because of all the wars Erik has been in. He wasn't past his physical prime, but his boxing prime for sure.
    Barrera- A shot fighter and past his boxing prime even though he was only 29, been in too many wars.

    So for the Fillipino fans and Pacman fans especially the Orientals, please be objective and analyze this. Pacman accomplishments aren't that great. Overrated yes especially in the days of ESPN and Nike.

    And no I'm not Mexican or an Pacman "hater".
    where is sasakul, ledwaba, diaz, sanchez, and larios in the list? why aren't they in that list? though you can throw diaz off that list as a paper weight champ, he's still a champ, and pac beating ledwaba is already a great feat. lehlo is known as one of the best p4p back then too. sasakul, on the otherhand, was one of the best in the flyweight division. and both were in their primes when pac fought them and defeated them.
    i don't believe larios was green when he fought pac though some have claimed it. he only went up 2 divisons when he and pac met, what's the difference in that? pac went up 8 divisions north from flyweight. and larios was already regarded as the best in the 122 pnds. divison back then, before losing to israel vasquez on his title defense.
    pac had a draw with agapito, but that was a dirty fight. agapito was relying on his "tactics" because pac was too aggressive. had it continued pac would've floored him despite his injuries from sanchez's constant dirty fighting.
    so you not putting this fighters on your list also makes your argument weaker. larios, ledwaba, sanchez, diaz, and sasakul were world champs: 3 losing to pac by tko, 1 by a wide ud, and 1 by a draw.
    pac is great in terms of jumping from the flyweight up to the welterweight to face bigger opposition. who can't deny greatness on that? weather they are off their primes, can that negate the fact that pac is not elite at all?
