Was Margarito the highest Ranked Welterweight when Manny fought him?

I wouldnt even call Clottey Dangerous, I'd say his last dangerous/meaningful fight was JMM back in 2008.

Seriously, I'm a Pac fan as well (see sig) but I'll be the first to admit we've been conned by Pac, Roach and Arum for the last 3 years - very careful, clever match making.

So guys let me get this str8!!!

Why didn't Pacquiao fight Berto rather than Mosley or Margarito??? He fought CLOTTEY and Clottey is 10 times more unknown than Berto, atlest Berto has a fanbase, while people in Ghana didn't even know who Clottey was?

Ok maybe not dangerous but atleast credible as i would rank Cotto credible too the rest since were mismatches but yes agreed the JMM fight was the last time Pac went into a 50 50 fight

Foreman is career jmw so that cant be right Paul Williams hasnt fought a meaningful fight at ww since probably 2008 so he could not be ranked as a ww

They didn't even fight at welter.

Of course he does. I would say pac, cotto, marg and clottey is the equal or better of hagler, leonard, hearns and duran. Wouldn't you?

You guys are right, MOSLEY was ranked number 3 in WW...

Gessh...I wonder why Pacquiao didn't fight Mosley back in 2009, Mosley went to the wild card and called him out, and for some reason he said Mosley was too big.
