We always whine about Floyd not fighting the best in his division or Manny fighting old, shot and "weak" world champions. But in your opinion, who, amongst the top fighters today really had the toughest or best opposition in their last 5 fights. In short, which fighter has the best resume in his last 5 contests.
Here are the facts:
JMM - Juarez (W), Pacquiao (L), Casamayor (W), Diaz (W), Mayweather (L)
Pacquiao - Barrera (W), Marquez (W), Diaz (W), De la Hoya (W), Hatton (W)
Mosley - Vargas (W), Collazo (W), Cotto (L), Mayorga (W), Margarito (W)
Maywether - Judah (W), Baldomir (W) De la Hoya (W), Hatton (W), Marquez (W)
Cotto - Mosley (W), Gomez (W), Margarito (L), Jennings (W), Clottey (W)
It's tougher than I thought, but I think JMM's resume looks pretty good.
Pacquiao's and Floyd's undefeated record in their last 5 fights are impressive, but Pacquiao edges him slighty because he was always moving up. However, 2 of Pacquiao's victims were former Mayweather victims. Mosley beat a has-been for the 2nd time and beat another has been in Mayorga. But his dominating performance against Margarito is worth a mention. Cotto's is harder to read because of Gomez and Jennings, but he also beat Mosley and Clottey.
My conclusion: JMM is a badass who'll fight anyone, anytime, at any weight class.
