I'm suprised that Manny has got by far top votes here! Its obviously based on his wins over faded legends Barrera and Morales whos true peaks were in the late 90s.
The disparity of votes for him over Marquez who he clearly had a controversial draw and a controversial win over are pretty startling. Lets not forget Marquez did a better job of Barrera than Pacquiou did last time out also.
I can only put this down to short memory, or youth! (hee hee) of some of the voters.Comment

I voted for Pacquiao because of his wins over the big three Mexican featherweight stars, but I still think that even though he was a flyweight champion he was ALWAYS bigger than Barrera and Marquez. He just manipulated the weigh in system better than any fighter in recent memory. So, I do think Barrera and Marquez had better technical skill that Pacquiao, but I still have to go with Pacquiao purely on the basis of his wins.Comment

Yes I would have said 3 would be about right, he is certainly entitled to an advantage over Hamed and...........Marquez by a whisker. But the legends Barrera and Morales? They were still great when they fought Pacquio but only 8 or 9 tenths the fighters they were. They'd have had to be at their best to beat the Pacman. Lets face it even a faded Morales did do it!
Barrera certainly won rounds in both their fights. A bit more youth and fire in his belly would have been enough.Comment
