Just another way of looking at it.

TO be honest, that just remains to be seen, if anyone of the guys pacqiou has fought can comeback and do something great, then yes it adds to his credibility, but to allthose who don't understand, our friend here is saying that the guys packman beat aren't necessarily washed up

This post identifies perfectly why it really is impossible to form an accurate picture of a fighter's career until not only he has retired, but the men he fought have also retired.

I mean who'd have thought the Jones win over BHOP would be so critical to his resume when it happened in 1993 (?) ? Who knew BHOP would go on to be BHOP? Same with Sanchez's win over Azumah. That win has grown dramatically in importance. Lennox over Vitali looks like another doesn't it?

It works the other way too. At the time Floyd's win over Chico looked huge. Now? Not so much. Chico turned out to be a good fighter, not a great one.

Good point with b hop, and i agree on chico, but i still think floyds wins over him and castillo carry some weight because he did fight them when they were a bug deal, unfortunately they failed to deliver after that fights, like most guys floyd fights

I agree the Chico win carries some weight. It just doesn't carry the weight I thought it did at the time.

agreed, which goes back to what u said, you cant judge a fighters career until he and everyone he fought is ll wrapped up.
