    Pacquiao from 135+

    This is what the Pacman has done since obliterating Diaz at 135lb, faced and beaten the following guys:

    Oscar DLH past it but massive favourite
    Ricky Hatton best weight
    Miguel Cotto near prime and P4P
    Joshua Clottey prime
    Antonio Margarito past it
    Shane Mosley shot
    Juan Manuel Marquez bogeyman
    Tim Bradley 2x prime and P4P
    Brandon Rios big hitter but b+
    Chris Algieri good boxer, b-

    So that's 2008 on wards, Mayweather in the same time frame has done this at welterweight:

    Ricky Hatton moving up in weight
    Juan Manuel Marquez there were better alternatives
    Shane Mosley too many years too late
    Victor Ortiz quitter but coming off a good win
    Robert Guerrero lol
    Marcos Maidana 2x lol 2x

    It's as simple as that

    I have no interest in Pac or Mayweather, but this seems a tad biased. You kinda left out Cotto and Canelo on Mayweather's list which were good wins yet listed all of Pac's at different weights.

    Hatton was done when he fought Pac, no? Rios and Algieri are C class. On the Mayweather side, JMM was too small, Ortiz was C class and so was Guerrero.

    Very similar tbh.

      i was looking more at fights from 140-147...maybe shouldnt have included margarito.

      hatton wasn't done, he was just coming off the best performance of his career and was at his best weight, where he was still regarded as the best.

      can label those two c class if you want but thats not accurate, considering rios was a big puncher and pac has just been knocked out and algieri was a world titlist.

      but the strength in pacs resume lies in guys like bradley and cotto, both were p4p in many peoples eyes going into the fight, especially the rematch where bradley had just schooled jmm...unless your mexican and/or a jamm fan then it was a robbery lol

        I don't consider Rios a puncher personally, not even a little. He can out tough other brawlers, but that's as far as he goes.

        The best performance of his career was Kosta Tsyzu. After losing to Mayweather he had a tough fight with Lazcano who was supposed to be a look good fight...He wasn't the same IMO.

        Algieri being world champ means he isn't C class on the whole, yet Robert Guerrero is a 'lol' opponent despite being a world champ in multiple divisions? Both are C class in my eyes and Rios is at that same level.

          Pacman beats any version of Hatton.

          Current Pacman still destroys prime Hatton.

            Pacquiao is greater. The sky is blue. Earth is round.

            Yes.

              lol pretty much, just wanted to show everyone how plain it is...and i didnt even include his run below 135 which is where his greatness was formed.

                Indeed. Pacquiao has just further cemented his indisputable superiority with each successive move.
