Should Manny Still Be Placed Above Floyd On The ATG List?

Common opponents
JMM - Pac fought in prime, in proper weight class. Floyd blew him up 3 weight classes and still came in overweight.
Hatton - Floyd fought him above his best weight class. Pac destroyed him at his best weight class
Cotto - Pac fought 1lb under his best weight. Floyd fought past prime...after Pac beat him
DLH - Both fought a way past prime DLH, Pac climbed 3 weight classes to dominate a drained DLH. Floyd won a competitive fight.
Morales beat Pac in their first fight, nobody disputes that. Nobody was calling for Pac to drop his signed fight with Moralez to fight Raheem. Nobody was asking Pac to fight Raheem due to him only having 2 fights @ 130, and Raheem lost his match following the Morales win. Making up ducks?
Wins over 2 ATGs and JMM > 1 ATG and JMM in the wrong weight class.Comment

There were quite a few people calling for Pacquiao to fight Raheem instead. You probably didn't notice during your circle jerk. And to be fair, there were a lot of new boxing fans who had signed on during Manny's rise and bought into what Arum was selling regarding a Morales rematch. But the fact remains that you can't pretend Morales was still at ATG form when he rematched Pacquiao and during that unnecessary third bout. You have the benefit of hindsight now so it wouldn't hurt you to use it.
and thats a ATG to these folks? i say pacquiao is MARGINAL at best more hype than substanceComment

Hatton record @147 was 0 win - 0 loss - 0 KO - 0 draw.
would you like to rethink your opinion?
the question should not be who beat him first. they cannot fight hatton at the same time can they?
was Pac already @147 when Floyd beats hatton?
the question should be who beat hatton better?Last edited by Rath; 02-01-2016, 09:02 PM.Comment
