There is alot of performances that i love from both fighters but if i had to choose i would choose:
Pacquiao vs Barrera 1: Pacquiao was relentless, he beat Barrera up bad, he wouldn't even give Barrera a chance to think it seemed. Excellent performance.
Mayweather vs Gatti: Serious beatdown over 6 rounds. The body shots and right hands Mayweather landed were brutal. So one sided, I have never seen Mayweather so aggressive offensively in a fight like he was that night.
Pac @ 130 vs Morales, Barrera and Marquez. he was vunerable and it made for some exciting moments.
i actually really loved the Mayweather vs Mosley fight. there were a lot of people praying for Floyd to get whooped, and it was one of those fights that proved all the haters wrong about Floyd's skill.
I take in to account where the opponents were in the performance.
May: Gatti was past prime and close to retirement.
May: Juan Manuel Marquez was 2 weight classes above his best weight.
May: Judah was coming off a loss.
May: Manfredy lost to every top fighter he fought.
Pac: Morales II, Morales was just coming off a loss to Raheem.
Pac: Cotto was the underdog, damaged, almost every one predicted he was gonna get stopped and that's exactly what happened. Also coming off a poor performance against Clottey.
Pac: Margarito wasn't even a top 10 WW, or top 10 JMW.
Pac: De La Hoya hadn't fought at 147 in 10 years and wasn't a top 10 WW.
Pac: Mosley was coming off two poor performances.
Best performances from each fighter, against actual top fighters who were actually good/still had something left at the time:
Mayweather: Corrales, Hernandez, Hatton, Mosley, Castillo II
Pacquiao: Barrera I, Hatton, Clottey, Solis
