Let history decide that. Some boxers easily get forgotten, specially those who turn up in really boring fights.

what about rehydration weight penalties on all the opponents hes fought past 135. do you think delahoya would have come in at 147 on fight night if their wasnt money issues? old tired greats is who manny fights... why didnt he ever fight zahir raheem? why didnt he fight casamayor? bradley or peterson? but if pac fought at catchweights for the rest of his career you woould defend him
odlh came on weighing less during fight night at his own will.. he wants to challenge the 147 guys that's why he came in "light" thinking he will reclaim his 147 speed..
raheem who? that one hit wonder? zahir was supposed to fight pac instead of EM before PAC-EMII... but EM chose to fight zahir instead of the rugged vazquez, and we all know what happens..EM lost lopsidedly and pac stopped vazquez..
pac fought diaz in his first fight north of 130. casamayor lost to sta cruz in all the fans eyes.. yes, sta cruz whom diaz koed.. and even if pac fought and koed casamayor, haters will say he is too damn old for pac..
where was bradley and peterson during that time? even if pac beat them, haters would say they are just undefeated tomato cans and too green for pac.. just like what happens to all the undefeated fighters pac have fought before..Comment

Every fighters record can be criticised and their opponents questioned.
Pac is great, no amount of match making and catchweights can stop him being called great.
But i wouldnt say he is better than Jones, Whitaker, JCC, Floyd etc.Comment

* Pacquiao’s only loss over that period was a disputed unanimous decision to Morales in 2005, which Pacquiao avenged with a massive TKO 10 victory in 2006
His loss against Morales was as clear as the difference between night and day.Comment

So who exactly came off a loss before Pac beat them. Yes most of Pacs opponents had lost at least once in their careers if im not mistaken. But so what?
Pac sstill beat them more impressively than they had ever been beatLast edited by hugh grant; 02-23-2010, 10:26 AM.Comment

Nope... Mosley Didn't beat Cotto. Mosley was tainted with Roids with the DLH fight. Pac dominates Cotto & DLH and makes Floyd shiver in fear. Pac is the Best welter currently.Comment
