As of right now, I am baffled as too why Pac man is the unanimous number one p4p fighter in the sport. Let's look at his resume:
Notable Wins:
1: Marco Antonio Barrera: This was a very impressibe victory, however MAB was a little bit past his prime. Not to take anything away from Pac-Man, Mab did not seem to be at his best for this fight.
2: Eric Morales second bout: Again, a very impressive victory, but Morales was not in his prime, and the last war between seemed to have taken it's toll on Morales. A very good win, but like the MAB fight, Morales was not in his prime.
Notable loses/draws
1: Eric Morales: This was an all out war, and both men fought like champions, however Manny was out boxed in this fight, and loss to an Eric Morales slightly past his prime. I do think that he was almost at his best, but i am of the opinon that he was not as crisp as the post Barrera Morales
2: Juan Manuel Marquez: I firmly belive that Marquez won this fight. If you knock a man down three times in the first round you should wi the fight, bu Manny didn't. He has problems with Boxer-Punchers, and was outboxed in this fight as well.
Let's look at some other candidates for pfp number 1:
Winky Wright:
Notable Wins:
Shane Mosley1 and 2: Wow, the first Mosley fight was an incredible performance for Winky. He dominated a fighter whom was a top p4p fighter, and i belive he was not favored to win. The second was much closer, but Winky still managed to use his 1-2 jab straight shot combo to pund out a tough MD. These were two outstanding victories for Winky's resume.
Felix Trinidad: This was an utterly dominant performace for Wright, however Trinidad was a little over the hill. This was a solid victory for Wright, but not as impressive as his Mosley wins.
Jermain Taylor: I don't care if this fight was scored a draw, there is no way in hell Winky didn't win this fight. Moving up in weight and outboxing a younger stronger opponent, was very very impressive.
Notable Losses:
Fernando Vargas: This was the fight Winy made his name. He fought it with a young powerful fighter, and lost an EXTREMLY close Md. I thought the fight was a draw, but this was a tough fight for Winky, and he proved himself worthy of fighting elite fighters with this performance.
Rafael Marquez:
Notable Wins:
1: Israel Vaquez: WOW, this was a great fight, but Marquez's stiff jab was incredible in this fight, and he outpointed an extremly great champion in his prime. This may be the best win on any of these lists.
2: Mark Johnson 1 and 2: Mark Johnson was a perrenial p4p fighter, and Marquez shocked the boxing world when he upset him in their first fight. Then he went on and beat him more convincingly the second time. This launched Rafael Marquez onto the p4p scene.
3: Silence Mabuza: MArquez dominated this tough fighter twice, which i think were both impressive wins.
4: Ricardo Vargas: This is a tough little fighter whom was again outclassed by Marquez.
Those are my top 3 p4p guys as of now.
Overall: Manny is an excellent fighter with great abillity, but his resume isn't yet as good as the other two guys i mentioned ( imo).
As of now i'd rank the top 3 p4p like so:
1: Rafael Marquez
2: Winky Wright
3: Pacman.
