    What could have been done to make Pac's welterweight run less stale?

    We all know Pac's WW resume is pretty much a heaping pile of garbage. Full of catchweights, post-prime fighters coming off of losses, JWWs being forced up etc.

    When it comes to Floyd, people often bring up the fact that he never fought PWill, Margarito, Tszyu and a few others to add a polishing touch to his elite WW resume. Those fights just never came to fruition.

    But who are the guys that Pac should have maybe fought in order to make his welterweight run seem a little more substantial? Surely there are some great candidates.

    It's not a good look when Bradley and a drained Miguel Cotto are your best wins at WW.

    I think if he had beaten Bradley and Marquez (3rd fight) decisively, and had not drained Cotto, that's a solid start right there. Clottey, Mosley, Rios, and Algieri literally did nothing to boost his welterweight status.

      That version of Clottey would have made for good fights in the current WW division. Thought that and Cotto were two solid wins.

        Manny's welterweight resume is probably the best since Trinidad and Oscar left the division.

        Aren't you the guy who has two accounts and use them to agree with one another.

            Cotto
            Clottey-even tho he himself never really won any good ww fights

              He lost to Marquez (TWICE) and Bradley. Made Cotto and Oscar skeletons. And it's alleged that Clottey was paid off to be a punching bag (his words, not mine).

              That leaves you with wins over Mosley, Rios, and Algieri (at a catch weight).

              His WW resume is TRASH. Plain and simple.

                  Let's also not forget how Manny was supposed to PLOW RIGHT THROUGH Marquez in the 3rd fight. Boy did that backfire, HARD.

                    Yea they were atleast ranked ww's...lets be honest (Rios,Algeri,Juan) were not even ranked ww's (Mosley,Clottey) both coming off of losses..(Bradley) has never even beat a top ww and had looked like trash at ww so that leaves Cotto which was a damn good win
