    What's the last fight in which Pac truly looked 'elite'?

    I've seen some people on here say Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, etc. When do you guys think was the last fight in which we saw a prime Pacquaio?

    I actually like Manny in Marquez 4. I though he looked like his prime self till he got KOed.

        I'd say his physical prime ended with Clottey in my opinion. So much volume Clottey couldn't open up, Pacquiao threw with the kind of power that had Clottey warning Margarito about Pacquiao's power.

          When you dominate Bradley, you're elite. So I guess that means last May.

            The Antonio fight. He was just electric in the fight. Clottey fight he looked good. Like super amazing but the last performance of his that i enjoyed was the Cotto fight. Miguel kept doing that silly step in jab and in the 4th round when Pac was on the ropes it was like Cotto didn't know what he wanted to do.

              Marquez 4 was pretty damn close to prime Pac. I'd say the old Pac was gone forever after that fight. He was incredible up to the KO.

                for me, its the margarito fight. the way he threw those 6-7 punch combos were amazing. and then getting stuck on the ropes and being hurt and fighting his way out of that was a beautiful sight to see. very few can do what he did in this fight.

                  the mosley fight is the fight where i notice that manny started to throw his punches different compare to how he use to throw them before. the punches were not quick straight snap anymore, instead he pushes it out.

                    Pacquiao on the Marquez 4 fight was relentless. It was the reason he was KOd though. He wanted to finish Marquez off like we had not seen in a long time. Despite the knockdown, it seemed he was on his way to scoring a TKO victory then KTFO6 happened.
