    When was pacquiao's Prime?

    imo from David Diaz to antony. manny's peak being Miguel Cotto fight.

    manny left something behind in the ring when he fought antony. That liver **** from hell took a toll on manny.

    During this time period manny had a string of impressive performances: Diaz to DLH to Hatton to Cotto

    Somewhere around the second Marquez fight through to the fourth Marquez fight. I think the fourth Marquez fight is definitively the last time we saw a prime Manny, he's never been the same since and, well, duh.

      Manny's peak was destroying Cheato & his prime was schooling Mexicans (bitter version admitting it)

        Agreed before the knockout Manny looked incredible. Last time I saw him that good. I gotta though say his performance against Thurman had me in awe.

          From about 2007 until after the Margarito fight. He wasn't the same after fighting Margarito.

            I wanna say the 4th marquez fight.
            He definitely lost something after his fight with margarito though

              From Oscar De La Hoya to Antonio Margarito.

              Note: Against Shane Mosley Pacquiao still had this bionic like speed/power 'But signs where already surfacing that his Bionic peak was mysteriously disappearing' etc

                Reason I say it last only until margarito

                Following that fight manny had leg cramps like an old man vs Mosley, schooled by Marquez, robbed by Timmeh, and then knocked out by Marquez

                manny's one good win following the margarito fight being Keith Thurman

                  I feel like the David Diaz fight was his most destructive.

                  His won over Cotto was very impressive, but Cotto had already had his heart and his soul taken by Margarito at that point. Cotto looked like he was about to cry towards the end of that fight.

                  Ricky Hatton was perhaps one of the most overhyped/overrated fighters of the last 20 years, I don't give Manny much credit for beating him, although the KO was very impressive. Hatton looked like a damn fool staring up at the lights like that
