    Sensible answer.

      Can you also accept hatton was undefeated before mayweather knocked him out, exposed him and that after than even Lazcano had hatton hurt?

      Who are the great fighters Manny has beaten in their primes?

      Pacquaio is tremendous, i just want the names of the top prime fighters he beat, Marquez is one.
      fine i'll give you that little bone. oscar at 154 that floyd fought was probably a bit better than the oscar at 147 that manny fought. probably why floyd beat him by split decision and why manny dominated every single round and tko'd him.

      so what if he was undefeated? manny fought the same god damn ricky hatton. barely a year apart. fine floyd fought the undefeated ricky , i'll balance it out with manny fought ricky at the division he was lineal champ at and had been his whole career.

      top prime fighters pacquiao beat? marquez and barrera. better than ANY fighter floyd has beat.

      who are the prime great fighters floyd beat? castillo and corrales? very good fighters both of them. both are possible HOFers. not exactly barrera or marquez now are they?

        can't argue with:

        - titles in 6 divisions (only dlh was able to do this)
        - 4 lineal championships (no one has ever done this)
        - beat morales 2x (only one to ever put morales down)
        - beat mab 2x (only 1 of 2 to put mab down)
        - beat jmm 2x (put jmm on his ass 4x)
        - beat dlh (shot, but still a great performance)
        - beat hatton (lineal 140 lbs champ and ranked top 10 p4p by ring mag)

          I dont remember saying in this thread mayweather beating judah was a great win.
          only a fool wouldn't consider morales as a great win. old or not.

          like i said before......morales was YEARS YOUNGER than most of the best guys floyd fought and got titles from.

          morales was the same age as castillo , with less fights i think even.

            Fair do's. Now in terms of boxing skills and abilities, who would you say is the best fighter of the last 10 years?

            Would manny pacquiao be in your top 3?

                Boxing skills and abilities are meaningless because history shows what fights they were in and how they panned out.

                Floyd has avoided the toughest challenges of the last 4 years, Manny hasn't.

                Time to get a new angle.

                  Age alone is just a number, De la hoya is younger than Bernard Hopkins, but de la hoya is totally shot and hopkins isnt.

                    technical boxing skills or do physical skills count?

                      i think if floyd beats marquez and beats pacquio by the end of the year then he is the fighter of the decade, floyd vs. manny will probbably be the deciding fight, altho hopkins has done quite alot this decade as well.
