Did Pac reach his prime above or below lightweight?

[Mr140]

To me the one thing Pac has yet to do is beat a prime undefeated fighter. As oh late seems to pick up peoples left overs and i mean Mayweather gets shit for it but if pac does it seems not as many care. I don't like either but Hatton, Cotto, and Margarito all had career ending ass kicking's. Then all the sudden pac fights them after it, Pac is in the top 25 for sure but i think hes best was in the lower weights.

One more thing when talking about Pac's spot in history is when he starts to lose and gets older. I mean look at what happen to Holyfeild to me he is one of the greatest but as he keeps on fighting, i am sure other peoples view of were he should be would change.

I remember old ass Merchant once said this, "A great fighter should only be judge when he's at his best not when he's not." Holyfield is still the greatest CW champ and a top 5 HW in history by many knowledgeable fans and boxing people, nothing has changed because he's still fighting.

Duran fought on too long after his best days, he's still regarded as a top 10 fighter ever.

Well i can agree on some of the gen but i find it hard to believe it has no effect at all.

When a fighter is past his prime and loses it really doesn't affect his legacy by many knowledgeable people, but it can only enhance his legacy if he wins, take Hopkins for example, he had a great victory over an undefeated Pavlik and if he pulls it off against Pascal it only enhances his resume, even if he were to lose people can say he wasn't in his prime which is true.
