the fact that as recently as 2008 pac was fighting at super feather yet he comes up in weight & dominates bigger guys gives him the clear edge in my opinion.
He has one fight at 135 vs diaz then he goes up to fight oscar at 147 dominates him, then goes back down to 140, crushes hatton, then goes up again to 145 & dominates cotto who some people thought got beat by clottey, who he is now facing at 147.
That is more impressive than fraud jr. fighting a career 140 pounder at 147, a career 126 pounder at 147, & now a 38 year old going on 39 with 1 year & 6 months of inactivity who got beat by cotto.

Your bias is disgusting. You didnt add none of this extra **** when you mentioned the Pac fights.
You couldve mentioned that Oscar was drained.
You couldve mentioned that Diaz was ****.
You couldve mentioned that Hatton was already KO'd by Floyd.
You also couldve mentioned that Cotto wasnt the same fighter after Marg.
You also couldve mentioned that Clottey is famous for losing and has never done **** in his career.
You left out some other details as well.
JMM was a tune up and Mosley is the best fighter AT WW and the third best in the world.
Suppose it's May 2nd, 2010 and both the biggest fighters in the sport right now have continued their winning streaks. It looks as if we might actually see the big fight everyone wants to see. So now I ask you, if you take both fighters' last four fights, what looks more impressive?
Choose one fight for each pairing...
Example: If you pick Pacquiao's win over Clottey, then don't pick Mosley.
They're compared in the following forms: ODLH/ODLH, Hatton/Hatton, JMM/Cotto, Mosley/Clottey.
its easy to criticise pac for ducking the random blood because there is no logical explanation for not taking the test but what you cant criticise pac for is his comp and how he has performed against them. the only fight i voted for in floyd favor was his upcoming fight with mosley. the rest pac got the nod

I agree to an extent, but I don't think you can automatically apply that kind of logic without looking at who the opponent is.
Mayweather's win over Oscar > Pacquiao's win over Oscar. Mayweather fought DLH while he was the #1 Middleweight champ, and he had just come off of a 6th round KO victory over Mayorga. Floyd was also forced to use heavyweight gloves, and that ate away the little power he had, along with a lot of speed. Not to mention Oscar had Freddie Roach in his corner. Pacquiao on the other hand fought a weight drained DLH who really didn't want to fight after round 1.
Pacquiao's win over Hatton > Floyd's win over Hatton: I will say that Hatton was clearly shot when Pacquiao fought him while Floyd fought a fresh Hatton, but come on, TWO ROUNDS...There's no getting around how impressive that was. Yes Floyd fought a prime Hatton and took away a lot from him in that KO victory, but again, TWO ROUNDS...
Pacquiao's win over Cotto > Floyd's win over Marquez: This was the easiest one to call. I'd much rather beat a shot Cotto over a blown up, shot Marquez. Even a shot Cotto is a challenging fight. Marquez on the other hand would get handled by a majority of the 140lb fighters right now.
Mayweather win over Mosley > Pacquiao win over Clottey: The second easiest to call. Mosley is clearly a better fighter than Clottey. He's stronger, quicker, more skilled and even though he doesn't have much legs right now, he still isn't flat footed like Clottey.
