After knocking out ricky Hatton, Pacquiao was at his ceiling mark as far as weight classes to me and the wins he had post Hatton did little to enhance his legacy. Cotto was a very good win...Shane, Margo at 150 and 1-1 with Marquez, 1-1 with Bradley....not so much
Junior Welterweight was red hot and had its gatekeepers, contenders, and title holders
Holt, Mattyssee, Garcia, Urango, Alexander, Maidana, Kotelnik, Khan, Rios, Provodnikov, Lamont Peterson, even could have fought both Marquez and Bradley at 140
Manny is a great fighter, a true ATG, but instead of all the weight hopping after 140, I'd have like to seen him clean out a weight class....JWW was deeper than 147
He is p4p top 30 definitely but it would be hardpressed to rank him top ten all time in any weight class. He never stay long enough to establish dominance
