    I agree.

    But Ali fought Liston on a different period and

    Barrera was #1 Featherweight. Marquez was either #2 or #3

        Nah man, I meant top 10 heavyweight of all time. All the fighters I mentioned were top 10 heavyweights at the time they fought Ali.

            well..first of all...morales and barrera weren't exactly in their prime...they both killed each other before they fought pacman.....oscar de la hoya is an idiot because he chose to fight at 147 for some ****** reason, anyone who saw the fight can cleary see de la hoya was drained and could barely throw a punch....with that said, pacman killed his ass.....and as for Juan Manuel Marquez....the first fight was a draw and about 90% of people who are neutral boxing fans, scored the fight for Marquez.....However...Miguel Cotto got his ass whooped so i'll give pacquiao that one, but many boxing fans will say cotto is never the same again because margacheato plastered him and clottey gave him a war

                  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
                  Manny is a beast and deserves the kudo's he has reaped. But there were fighters who took on other fighters who were also great during a similar time frame. Barney Ross comes to mind as does Henry Armstrong. Im only going by memory, but I would bet their feats were similar. No knock on Pac who is a modern day beast.

                    LOL!! easy work, easy money. i wonder why pretty floyd changed his name to money at when manny pacquiao's popularity was rising up to the level hes now, maybe hes hoping when mentioning manny it will sound like hes the one being talked about(did not see any thread talk about this), just a thought, yeah brus...,gatti.. mitchell easy work easy money.

                      HAHAHAHA

                      Barrera is Prime. p4p the best in the world. After the lost to Pac he wont on another streak en route to his 3rd title in a higher division

                      Morales just beat pacquiao a few months before so what the **** are you talking about?
