Going by their last 5 opponents' win before they fought Pacquiao/Mayweather; How many of them came off of a dominant win against top fighters of their respective division?
I'll show you what I mean:
Mayweathers last 5 opponents:
Marquez - Came off stopping the 2 best Lightweights atm that have never been stopped in their careers.
Hatton - Undefeated and just came off stopping Jose Luis Castillo in 4 rounds.
De La Hoya - Came off a dominating TKO6 win against Mayorga who was a top 5 JMW atm.
Baldomir - Came off a clear UD against the #1WW atm Zab Judah
Judah - Came off a loss & a NC
-----------------------------------------------------
Pacquiao's last 5 opponents:
Cotto: Came off a not so dominating split decision against top WW Joshua Clottey.
Hatton: Came off a TKO11 win against Top JWW Paulie Malignaggi. First time Paulie's been stopped(corner threw in the towel).
De La Hoya: A unanimous decision win at 150llbs over natural 140pounder Steve Forbes.
Diaz: Decision over Ramon Montano?
Marquez: Unanimous decision over tough opponent Rocky Juarez.
*Keep in mind what most Pac fans say is Pacquiao's wins over Hatton and DLH are better than Mayweather's because he stopped them faster*
