    No.

    Both fights could have gone either way.

    Word.

    Marquez is 36

    DLH is a 7 division champion.


    Good for him

    Dam your hugging those nuts awfully hard

    Look Pacman is great fighter no doubt but boxing has existed before Pac and will continue to exist after him. I like Pac but he has some of the most delusional fans ever!

    :rolleyes: Noone here has said boxing is over after Pacman. Chill out. He's a boxer in his prime so he's going to have excited supporters right now.

    True.

    In Chris Jhon's backyard.. kind of like Chris Jhon getting a draw in Houston against Rocky Juarez.

    If Marquez somehow gets a win vs Floyd he is P4P IMO

    If we're talking pound for pound, none of these guys have a patch on Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Some sad news on a fighter many considered worthy of the thread title passed away from a suspected suicide at the age of 57. Alexis Arguello was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Anyone old enough to remember his two brawls with Aaron Pryor will remember two of the greatest fights of the 20th century. RIP:(

    Again Manny Pacquiao proved why he is the best boxer in his prime.

    Bring on Mayweather!

    In their prime i would say any of Sugar ray robinson, Roy Jones Jr or Julio Cesar Chavez.
    Thoever these fighters fought in their prime they beat. Roy Jones didn't even loose a round to all of his in prime fights ,he completely manhandled the likes of Hopkins and Toney when they were at their peak. No one cleaned out a division like him in terms of the level of opponents he faced.Chavez is my personal favourite, because fighters were never the same after the fought him. Many take credit for beating him when he was about 5 years out of his prime and a few weight divisions above his dominant years. He chose to just destroy fighters with a relentless body attack early then take the head later ,but he was actually a very good boxer which he exhibited against Ramirez.

    Pac man could learn a lot from his tapes ,especially the ones where he demolishes the self proclaimed "mexican Killer" roger mayweather.

    Roy Jones
    Sugar ray
    Chavez
    Tyson

    I think alot of people get caught in nostalgia with fighters, boxers and mixed martial artists alike. There's definitely those you can't ignore such as Hearns and Silva but I think the real greats are the ones that have extensive career's at the top such as Fedor and GSP

    There's a list of worlds best fighters here with alot of information and video footage you might enjoy
