    After fighting Hatton for the 140 belt at the beginning of 2009, Pacquiao's next 4 fights were.....

    Cotto, Margarito, Clottey then Mosley.

    Nitpick if you want about this or that but that was his next 4 fights when he jumped to 147 in 2009.
    He got them all after 2 years

      Don't think so. Histories greatest fighters gave biggest rivals rematches routinely as That's what fans want.
      You don't want people to think your win was a one off fluke, and why not have 2 wins over biggest rivals rather than 1 win?
      Pac gave barrera rematch because he's a proper champ.

      Plus if fight is controversial for any reason be it Iv fluids, cw, you owe it to opponent to give rematch

        Nah. I'm sure those guys didn't have mystery shoulder injury excuses for losing, so Pac can go **** himself.

Amazed again recently beating undefeated, young champion Thurman in spectacular fashion at 40 years old - now oldest welterweight champion, only champion in 4 decades.
          P4P ranked Ledwaba? That’s funny.

          Ledwaba was never ranked P4P.

            Pac waited for them to fight each other, then picked up the scraps.

            Thats why he wasn't the #1 guy at 147. When Mosley was #1, he opted to fight Cotto who was coming off a tough fight with clottey and was stopped by marg the year earlier. Then fought clottey coming off his loss, then fought Marg after being KO'd by Shane, then fought Shane coming off a two fight winless streak.

              I don't even think he would beat Porter now

              and no way he beats Crawford

              I think Mikey Garcia would have beaten him

                Thurman does not have the pressure or volume of Spence

                I think Mikey handles him
