    Name a fighter

    that accomplish something that is comparable to this.



    From Nov 15, 2003 up to March 19, 2005 Manny pacquiao took on Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales. That's 16 Months.


    From May 2, 2009 to March 13, 2010 you've got Ricky hatton, Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather Jr. That's 10 months


    *Before Hatton ODLH is suppose to Knock Pacquiao out


    Is there any other fighter in history that has fought the Highest quality opponents in such short periods? There's SRR againts Basilio and Fullmer but that's just 2 styles of fighters. Roberto Duran needed 29 months to go through Wilfred Benitez, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns.


    Just to illustrate an example. Its like

    -Floyd fighting Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito in succession

    -Tito Trinidad taking on Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones and James Toney

    -Duran taking on Wilfred Benitez, SRL and Thomas Hearns in 16 months




    Id like to hear it from the historians here...........



    -ITS an INCREDIBLE FEAT by itself

        Imagine a fighter moving up and immediately fighting Muhammad ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman in 16 months.

            It is also true that four of Manny's illustrious victims had already been knocked out by the time he fought them: Barrera, De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto. Morales was the only legend Pacquiao stopped who hadn't been stopped before.

                  -Who knocked out Barrera before Pac?

                  -Nobody is mentioning Oscar here. Even so...by who? A body shot from Bernard.

                  -Cotto was KOed? I thought he took a knee when the ref stopped it.

                    Junior Jones knocked out Barrera. I don't understand what you mean by your other two points, they were stopped, plain and simple.
