when was the last time pacquiao beat a world class fighter in HIS PRIME?

[baracuda]

my bad for double posting!

[baracuda]

first of all most boxing fans believe JMM beat pacquiao in both fights, majority including filipinos believe JMM won the 2nd fight.

second thing, JMM wasnt in his prime so you arguably say pacquiao has lost to a past prime JMM and Morales. the judges only recognised the Morales loss though, not the second JMM fight

third, the last time he faced a world class fighter in his PRIME:



6 years ago.

did you talk to majority of filipinos? lyin ass...no offense!

Corrales, Castillo for starters. Even though I think Castillo won the first fight, he came back the 2nd fight to beat him that time.

Seriously Jose luis castillo and Corales are famous for brawling against eachother.

They are a little overated. Castillo was knocked 4 previous times, and Corales hasn't prove himself against many top fighters.

You cant compare them to Manny Pacquiao quality oppnents. Atleast Manny Pacquiao beat Juan Manuel Marguez in his natural weight of 130 last year.

Wow, this guy is more of an idiot than I thought.

First of all, oscar, shane started in the amatuers and came up in a different system. Both of them are better at adjusting defensively than morales was.

Second of all, Morales was past it early because of his style and the amount of hard fights he had against stiff competition.

MAB tuned his style to prolong his career. JMM early in his career was a patient counter puncher and only recently began a more offensive style to draw more crowds, the guy used to rarely get hit due to dominating performences. Pacman has been in some great fights, but he hasnt been in as many wars as Morales had been in, and morales never really adjusted his style later in his career.


The idea that featherweights dont burn out early being foriegn to you, and then comparing them to guys like Shane/DLH tells me everything i need to know about how long you have been following the sport. Most of those guys never make it past 30.

you make it sound more like erik went straight as a proffessional without prior background.i agree most guys dont make it past 30 but erik is not like most guys,he was elite.pac has been in manny wars as erik,imo but you're entitled to your opinion as i am.been a boxing fan for a long time also,but it's not about me is it?

The first barrera fight, Its easy to discredit pacman's wins over morales and JMM but they were still good wins imo, And a victory over Hatton would be good for him because hatton is still 30 and at his best weight which is 140.

Here we go with his best weight thing ,,, Hatton has always been at his best weight except for Collazo .
