    He has 5 Wins 1 Loss and 1 Draw


    in 2003 when pac was still up and coming these 3 Guys are the TOP 3 DOG's of the Featherweight Division and all of them are 29 years old when Pacquiao 1st met them.


    leonard didnt rematch Hagler, Duran didnt rematch Hearns or Hagler, Hearns didnt rematch hagler.


    Mab was distracted in the 1st so Pac UD'd him
    Pac lost to Morales so he rematch him
    Pac had a draw with JMM so he rematch him.


    Who has recently done this?


    Dela Hoya didnt even rematched Trinidad or Quartey
    Floyd Didnt even fought Cotto or Margarito
    Roy didnt even fought Nigel Benn , Eubank or even Mckalawkkssi
    Lennox didnt even fought Bowe (Not his fault but still)


    He fought the 3 very best fighter of the division. I would like to hear if somebody has done something like this recently. Maybe the last 40 yrs?
    hey dude we can continue this list easily:

    Pac continues to fight the very best:
    now as a legit WW-

    Miguel Cotto, done

    Joshua Clottey, done

    the winner of Floyd-Mosley, to be continued

        Those stats coupled with the graphic that HBO showed during the fight of how his punch output has increased as he moved up in weight only strengthens my belief he's on something. That's almost 60 fights (60 training camps), multiple wars, 7 weight classes....really how much can the human body take? This isn't normal.

          Pac is on a roll. His run is amazing. But he needs to fight Shane or PBF next to close out. Bradley or Margarito are a step back imo.

              What Pac has done and is continuing to do is amazing and he always tries to put on a good show for the fans to while doing it.

              Fans should really appreciate what we have here to watch in him while he is still around.

                mosley for example dominated the 135 division but so bad that there wasn't a household name there.. he could have lure Kostya and ZAB in 140 but he jumped to 147 instead.

                pbf has a good run at 130/135, castillo/chico was a good victim but it could have been better if he beat popo freitas and casamayor..
                Floyd's Resume is very good imo im not bashing it. With the topic of the 3 very top fighters of the division you're correct FLoyd didnt take on Cassamayor and Freitas @130


                @140 He didnt take on Hatton instead he lured him @147 this is after we saw Luis Collaso arguably get the better off Hatton @147 Hatton even drop the belt and went back at 140 after that.

                @147 Theres no Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Williams heck there not even Collazo, Quintana or Cintron

                Yeah he's not lucky enough to have contemporaries at the division with the caliber of the 3 musketeers but he should have at least took on the very best 3.

                    I just like to ADD that IN those 72 rounds PAC had learned a lot from these great Mexican HOF fighters and completes Manny as the Fighter he is today...
