k, lets examine the evidence, the following are key wins on PBF career:
(BTW this is NOT a hate thread of any kind, I have spend sometime putting this thread together trying to examine his career and his top competition at the time as he gathered his titles at 130, 135, 140 and 147..so please if you are going to reply, keep it to facts and analysis...not simple to stupid comments)



130 lbs:

Genaro Hernandez: dominating the far more experience Hernandez showed everyone that PBF was force to recken with…total dominance, now Hernandez was for all practical purpose at the end of his career in fact this was his last fight.

Angel Manfredy: a good fighter B type fighter that became champ, tough, but taylor made for PBF, and one that through out his career, lost to all A type fighters he face…

Ramon Rios: again a B type fighter, plenty of experience but not skills to deal with PBF

Juunku: tough FIGHTER FROM Uganda, in similar fashion to all African boxers tough, yet not enough talent to deal with PBF…..B type fighter, again never beat an A type fighter.

Gregorio Vargas: good solid win for PBF, Vargas was tough and PBF boxed the pants out of him….

Chico Corrales: the second feather on PBF cap, no doubt, Chico perhaps a little to wet behind the ears to face the mastery of PBF nevertheless an impressive win.

Carlos Hernandez: another good win for PBF, yet he got floored for the first time , easy win. Hernandez again not beating the A type boxers he faced on his carrer

Jesus Chavez: the 3rd feather on PBF cap, beat him easily dominating a good good fighter.

Now the question here is clear : what big JRLW names are missing here- Popo Freitas and El Cepillo …why not clean the division before moving to 135

135lbs:

Castillo I & II : 2 great fights second weightclass he claimed. Another feather on his cap…

Sosa: impressive record but against who…B type fighter at best….fought chumps before and after PBF..

Ndou: good fighter at the end of his career, PBF took care of business.

Again more of the same….Stevie Johnston…why not fight him, the division was depleated of talent that time and Castillo and Johnston was it!!

140lbs

Chop Chop: another cap on his feather, top competition

Brussels: not great competion, good record but against who…win the eliminator

Gatti: a shot B class fighter, who never beat an A type boxer, we all agree he overwhelm Gatti, to win 3rd title

Mitchell: a shot fighter, not even a fight….

Judah: beat a talented Judah, no doubt another feather on his cap….

Tata Baldomir: wins his 4th title, a tough fighter totally dominate Tata with ease….

Now, again who are the top 140lbs at the time: Hatton, Cotto, Tszyu

You can call me hater or what ever you would like but the evidence is listed above and it is hard refute..

PBF had a chance to become something very special in boxing, yes very special, but for some reason, he evaded the heavier road obstacles and opted for the money…He had greatness within his grasp at JRLW, LW and JRWW….yet he kept skipping…and now he wants the greatness handed to him on a silver platter against an aging ODLH and it is not going to happened….he will beat ODLH but that ATG recognition he wants will still elude him…
