Who's resume is better at 147lbs? Mayweather or Pacquiao?

I don't understand that. 145lbs is welterweight. Should it have been for a title? Probably not but it was a welterweight fight. And one hell of a win for Pacquiao at that time--when we weren't really sure if he could handle a big welter, let alone one as skilled as Cotto. And he delivered a great performance. I tend to think that Cotto's confidence coupled with the fact that he didn't really have a trainer influenced his performance. But it ranks as Pacquiao's best win at the weight and possibly his best since he beat Barrera in 2003.

See it can go both ways. Just whatever you want to believe.

^^ retard lololol what a hater

Fighting Baldomir was more credible than Clottley.
Clottley also took a dive.

If Shane was at a 5 when he fought Floyd, then he was at a 2 when Manny decided to fight him. You cannot argue that.

They answered it for me .... thanks!

Bitterness. Denial. The realization that the gig is up and holding on by any means necessary.

Easy ...

Question: How many fights did Marquez, Hatton, Sharmba and Ortiz have at WW prior to Floyd? In total, 4 of Floyd's WW opponents had 3 recent fights at WW.

Judah lost to Baldomir and lost to all top level WW that he faced. Judah finally realized and went down to 140.

Baldomir had 1 OK year and was awarded a Floyd fight.

Mosley was 16 months inactive and 39 years old. Mosley never won since Floyd so that goes to show you that anybody could have beat this Mosley!!!


Oh, you meant that Manny has the better resume?
