    1. Marco Antonio Barrera 1. He was coming off a great streak over the likes of Morales and Hamed, and even though he had a lot of miles and may have been slightly past it, he was still great as he was able to later beat Morales in their rubber match. That Morales would later hand Pac an L. Definitely the best win of Pac's career imo.
    2. Juan Manuel Marquez 1. Absolute robbery. Judge ****ed over Pac. And yeah Marquez may have won a good stretch of rounds but not enough to warrant a draw, the fact that some people think Marquez should've won is absolutely nuts.
    3. Keith Thurman. Definitely the best win in Pac's 147 career imo. Thurman may have had a long lay-off and injuries, but other than the 1 round with Lopez, he actually dominated the fight. He was still good. That decision should have been unanimous imo.
    4. Ledwaba. Pretty good fighter in his prime, Pac absolutely destroyed him. I think he was an underdog too.
    5. Clottey. He was pretty good I guess.

    I struggled with the last 2, honestly.

    I couldn't say Hatton because he was washed at that point. Same with De La Hoya, Morales, Margarito, Mosley, and a couple others. But he does have some great wins.
    I dont rate Marquez too highly. So those wins over Marquez are lower.

    Barrera 1 made him a star
    delahoya made him a superstar
    Ledwaba made him known in the u.s./hbo
    Hatton/cotto was pacquiao at his peak

        He didn’t beat Morales at his best. That’s just a fact.

        In fact, he wasn’t at his best when he beat Pacquaio either.

          and that was pacs first fight at 130 but i guess it was impossible that pac could improve. it had to be morales being drained even though if you watch the 2nd fight its pretty silly to say that the way he fought. he wasnt a zombie like canelo or chad dawson.

            Yup broken nose and dropped 3 times

            Perfect schooling

            Algieri schooled pac too

              floyd was past his prime but that was still probably a top 5 win since pac landed almost all the clean punches. no one expected pac to outbox floyd and some people still pretend floyd won to this day even though we have the footage. kinda weird. nice grazing jab there floyd! hmm real punches or a feather jab...which is worth more? depends who you like more i suppose

                In my personal opinion…

                1. Cotto
                2. Thurman
                3. Barrera
                4. Marquez (2nd fight)
                5. Bradley (2nd fight)

                  Agreed man. Huge Pac fan but Morales was definitely on the slide by then.
