Who did Pac fight in their prime?

[HewJohnson]

What??? Those guys were not prime.

Cotto's Prime ended immediately after Antonio beat his ass with loaded gloves. Cotto was never the same after.

Morales prime was before the Pacquiao fight. He start slowly declining after the his Barrera trilogy.

Floyd??? That's like saying Hopkins was prime vs Pavlik just cuz he was performing good at a late age.

And people say Thurman wasn't prime cuz he had surgeries, was inactive a long time, then almost knocked out by a journeyman.

U leaving out key blantant details

Cotto proceeded in beating that same Marg like couple years later. He only had one loss that was to Marg and that’s because Marg was cheating.


I don’t view Floyd as ever being out of his prime.

Its a fact most of Pacquiaos biggest "wins" are off of Mayweather leftovers at catchweights and guys coming off of losses, while Mayweather often fought guys after their biggest wins.

Interesting. If you give Pacquiao credit for that win against a weight drained Cotto, would you also give Mayweather credit? Considering the fact that Mayweather fought Cotto RIGHT AFTER the Marg rematch, which made him mentally better.

Thurman, Cotto, Bradley, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Diaz, Vargas, Floyd


Fought most of those guys in rematches as well.


Just LMAO at people trying to say Thurman wasn’t in his prime.
That’s just some nerdy arse lame $h!t.


He was FOOKING undefeated going up against Manny and if he wasn’t prime, then WTF was Manny?!
He was 42 years old when he fought Thurman!

LMAO good god there’s some lame nerds on NSB.

Seriously, LAME NERDS.

If Floyd was in his prime for that Pacquiao fight then Pacquiao was at his peak.

Prime, undefeated One Time Thurman. Two belt champ. The man to beat at 147.
The guy Floyd ducked to fight Andre Berto

You mean the guy Pacquiao fought who was coming off of a surgery in order to duck both crawford and Spence?

Pacquiao best wins are Morales, Barrera, Marquez etc, top tier HOF’ers. Hatton, Shotsley and Hoya are not his best wins. Cotton is one of Floyd’s best and toughest fights though, and Pacquiao fought a much fresher version.

Margarito also wasn’t Mosley’s best win, neither was Cotto’s win over cyclops Margarito his best win. Stop parroting.

While Pacquiao was making his name off beating borderline ATG’s, Mayweather was making it off 5tko losses Castillo and drained & dead Corrales. The likes of Morales, Marquez etc are twice the fighters to those guy’s. It’s different calibre of fighters.

Ill agree with the first sentence, but Manny Pacquiao fans also bring up Floyd leftovers while calling Floyd a cherry picker. The second sentence makes no logical sense at all. Cotto had been beaten by Margarito and was still mentally recovering from that, and that fight happened at a Catchweight too, while Mayweather fought Cotto at his more natural weight at that time.

I meant some of their biggest wins not their biggest win. Mosley rejuvinated after his dominant performance against Margarito, and the Margarito rematch was, as by Cottos own words, his most satisfying victory.

Your point being? Pacquiao has fought 5 fighters coming off of losses and was stopped early in his career too. Mayweather fought Marquez too so I don't know what you are on about, that to 4 years before he knocked Pacquiao out COLD. Also, Corrales was not drained he fought like that all the time.

Anyway, you are just speaking nonsense at this point, Mayweather was beating De La Hoya, Gatti, Judah, and Hatton when Pacquiao had his good trilogy against Morales.

Gatti, Judah, Hatton, again, not the calibre of fighters compared to Marquez, Morales and Barrera.

Okay, but Mayweather beat Marquez. Manny Pacquiao arguably lost the second and third fights and was knocked out in the fourth (I thought Pacquiao won the first, Marquez won the second, the third was a draw) btw. Those fights were still good and entertaining to watch I can admit.
