He fought six P4P fighters, and will be fighting another one this weekend. He lost to all P4P fighters who were P4P listed when he fought them, except for Whitaker who was past his prime and was a lot smaller than him. Chavez was P4P best when he was in his prime but Dela Hoya beat him when he wasn't P4P listed anymore. Still, Oscar fought six fighters who were/are P4P listed at that time. He fought six fighters who were P4P #1, and he only won convincingly over a P4P fighter who was out of the list for 3 years. Oscar's record - 2(both via stoppage)4(1 via stoppage)-0...after saturday, it will be 2-5(2 via stoppage)
Mayweather fought Hatton when Hatton was P4P #4 o5 #5 and he was P4P #1. He fought dela Hoya when dela Hoya was out of the P4P list for 4 years.
Mayweather won over these guys easily.
Pacquiao fought P4P #3 Barrera when he wasn't in the P4P list yet and then fought again when Pacquiap was P4P #2 and Barrera was P4P #6 or #7. He fought Morales thrice: First time was when Morales was P4P #8 and Pacquiao was #5, second time was when Morales was P4P #6 and Pacquiao P4P #5, their last fight booted Morales out of the P4P list for good and Pacman became P4P #2. Pacman also fought Juan Manuel Marquez twice, both times Marquez was out of the P4P 10 list, and Marquez' draw and split decision loss catapulted Marquez back inside the list. First time they met, Marquez was out and suddenly became P4P #6 and on their second meeting, Marquez was out of the list and suddenly he was back in at #5.
Pacquiao's record over these guys was 5(3 via stoppage)-1-1. He made all three kiss the canvas...repeatedly.
