List: Which of Manny Pacquiao's Opponents Were In Their Prime?

[Franco2012]

My list will be similar to this bar, MAB II.

What are the reasons you believe MAB wasn't a shot fighter in the second fight?

BARRERA beat JMM!

I know you wanted to keep this hater proof Stone Roses but I have got to say this; Those saying MAB was past his prime in the first fight either:
A. Don't Know **** about boxing
B. Just recently started following the sport
C. Just here to flame because that is the dumbest **** I have heard in a long time.

The only person with any sense and knowledge in this thread is Left Hook Tua. Not saying this because I agree with him but those other guys replies and reasoning behind there opinion are so dumb and beyond delusional it's not even funny.

Pacman couldnt hurt Clottey? WTF! CLottey was so scared of getting by PacMan's power that he had to play defense the whole time. everybody was saying PacMan couldnt hurt them but look at their faces and the knock downs and the beating? if you can walk thru Manny's punches you wouldnt play defense the whole time. COMMON SENSE!

Barera was still in his prime but not in his peak. so was PacMan who was still inexperienced fighting world class fighter like Barrera.

common sense. clottey always fights like that.

he doesn't punch when the other guy is punching.

Exactly

Even hater Malignaggi said same thing!

BARRERA beat JMM!

JMM won but that fight was at worse a 2-3 point win in favor of JMM.

barrera was prime in 2003 , mate. you better look up what he was doing right before and what he did after his loss to pacquiao.

how the hell was hatton and cotto shot?

dumb.

Leave ya feelins aside.

Barerra just been beaten by Jones twice, Knocked out once.
Been in two wars with Morales and you tryna say he wasn't past it?

Hatton had been schooled and KO'd by Mayweather then nearly got KO'd by old ass washed up Lazcano.

Cotto, beaten with bricks by Tony and lucky win over Clottey.
Shot.

Dumb.

CLottey was so scared of getting HIT by PacMan's power that he had to play defense the whole time. everybody was saying PacMan couldnt hurt them but look at their faces and the knock downs and the beating? if you can walk thru Manny's punches you wouldnt play defense the whole time. COMMON SENSE!

Clottey is a naturally defensive fighter. He was overwhelmed by Pacquiao's punch output (+1000) and he failed to listen to his corner and "let his hands go".

Manny did nothing to Clottey's face. WTF are you smoking? Clottey left that fight unscathed. Paquiao only managed to land 20% of his punches.


Pacquiao's face looked terrible even though Clottey threw very few punches.

Just because Cotto lost to Margarito and had a close decision with Clottey doesn't mean that he is past prime. Those are two of the best WW in the last ten years and they were suppose to be competitive fights. So does that mean that Mosley was out of prime in the 2nd Forrest fight because he almost knocked him out in the 1st fight. Or that Hameed was past prime when he fought Barrera? nope it doesn't. Cotto was in his prime and still is.

Being straight out KO can really effect a fighter, being brutally stopped over 11 rounds is even worse i would imagine. + The fact that Clottey gave him hell as well.. it's hard to say were Cotto is though at the moment just need to see were he goes from now, the Foreman performance was ok but nothing that special..

He certainly hurt Pac though as we saw after the fight burst ear drum and ****ed up ribs maybe with a better trainer he could have done more.

Honestly did you even follow boxing during that time? By your responses I'm having a hard time believing you did.

I agree with you mate.


Some people have warped opinions. Barrera was not remotely past prime in the 1st fight.
