    After the Oscar fight, the fans wanted Pac and Hatton to get it on and they did. If he was already comfortable at 140, why would he go back down to 135?

    He didn't fight Raheem because he was already signed to fight Morales the second time before Morales fought Raheem.
    Raheem was also a Lightweight and Manny didn't move up until years later.

      But anyways, my point to you is that Margarito may not actually be an elite fighter. Watch his fight against Shane Mosley to see what I mean. When watching that fight, keep in mind that Margarito did not have his cheating advantage with him.
      That list is nothing compared to who he has fought.

        Morales was also a lightweight at the time. Pacquiao had no problems making Morales move back down in weight. He could have got Raheem to do the same.

            The fight with Raheem was the first time Morales had ever fought at 135 so he was not established at LW.

              I have my money on Pac for sure. I get more and more concerned as Manny's fights approach, then he dominates. I just don't really believe in absolutes.
