just wanna put things in perspective

PROBLEM NO.1

With any sport, the playing field is always changing hence achievements and record go out the window. That's why i'm NOT overly in awe of the oldies.

Besides... I don't do P4P, i don't do ATG and i don't do GOAT.

PROBLEM NO.2

There WILL ALWAYS BE A NATURAL BIAS TOWARDS THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION.

It's the middle-ground, were speed meets power, where we're (decidedly) able to see a fighters worth in full. So in terms of P4P, the achievements and skill seem magnified, the closer to Welterweight that fighter is situated.

Which is why i look at someone like Ezzard Charles, a Light-Heavyweight, with nothing but admiration. He was 3-0 over Archie Moore and 2-0 over Charley Burley, who was ducked by just about every name worthy of mention in boxing's history including our King, Sugar Ray Robinson.

I was going to post along the lines of what amat said. Times are much different now and there is no way we can run records of the past into todays climate in a sensible manner. And I got no problem putting Pac in top 5 if he wins. Mayweather, not as sold on going that high if he wins. History is a strange thing, in that it is hard to look at when it`s being made, but better judged by time. So we got a long time to decide with any certainty.

A decade from now it`ll all be viewed quite differently.
