As crazy as that sounds. I was browsing the net and stumbled across this article from east side boxing which stated the following:
"Right now the man is going to be near impossible to top as the Fighter of the Year in any publication and he is now, unquestionably the best fighter in the world Pound for Pound. In fact as it stands he will be considered the Fighter of the Decade when the clock strikes January 1st 2010. And think about this? What if he were to defeat the winner of Marquez-Casamayor or unify all of the belts against Nate Campbell? We then will have to stop asking where he stands among the very best fighters of his generation and then start questioning where he ranks among history’s all-time greats.
Hopefully Pacquiao is basking in the glow of his finest hour. He silenced all of the critics who thought that he would lose a step in winning his fifth world title in as many weight classes and put together an all time great performance against a much bigger and stronger top five Lightweight. Whenever he walks into the bright lights of the squared circle in his next fights the opponent should know that he will be facing the best fighter in the world today. "

insert east side (without the space) where the **** are at.
This article is from 2008 (after the Diaz fight). So if this was the line of thinking after he won the LW title, it's no surprise that by when he beat DLH, Hatton then Cotto that he won this by a landslide.
