    Emanuel Augustus gave Mayweather one of his toughest fights even though he got TKOed, it's not even close to what Pacquiao did.

    Carlos Hernandez, Made Floyd uncomfortable and Floyd broke his hand during the fight, one of Floyd's toughest fights.

    Jesus Chavez
    Jose luis Castillo
    Demarcus Corley (this was when all this Mayweather isn't good against southpaws **** started, he gave Mayweather one hell of a very exciting fight)

    Zab Judah
    Oscar Dela Hoya
    Ricky Hatton
    Miguel Cotto
    Marcos Maidana

    Pacquiao throwing 420 punches in 12 rounds is pathetic!
    God was going to deliver Floyd to him doe

      Manny went out on his shield facing JMM, he deserves just as much praise.

          Exactly that's what The Big Dunn ignores.

          He went out on his shield and almost got killed in the process against JMM.

          Shame since then he's been more tentative.

          Would have gone out on his shield vs Floyd if it wasn't for Jmm4

              What is it that Floyd fans like to say? What's more important than who, is when...

              Floyd vs Hatton was prime vs prime. Everyone knew before Saturday's fight that both fighters are past it, and on fight night, Manny was made to look shot.

                No, he tripped into a right with 2 seconds to go in the round.

                  You're talking about Hatton fighting Floyd in his prime as if Pacquiao was in his prime, and What is this myth that pacquiao wasn't landing shots? He was landing shots on Floyd, cleaner than most have.

                  He even landed a double left hand. I have to look for the gif.

                    Going out on your shield means still trying to win by taking risks of getting hurt, while getting beat badly. JMM was the one getting battered and was willing to go out on his shield to try and win.

                      Hatton is criminally underrated on this site. Drop prime Hatton in now at 140-47 he gives everyone hell. The loss to Mayweather screwed him then he got back on track a bit when he destroyed Maligaggi then the loss to Pac-man finished him. IMO he didn't look right vs pac you could tell something was up. Prime Hatton vs Pacman at 140lbs is a very interesting fight.
