and no, Manny did not beat " all of the top welter during his time " ..... there was a run of top (#3) welters and Pac did not fight any of them..... Mosley, Ortiz, Guerrero, Maidana..... even Berto was ranked #3 early in Pac's WW campaign
and no point in rubbishing guys like Guerrero/Ortiz..... because Freddie Roach admitted that Guerrero laid hands on Pac during sparring, and he described one of the Ortiz/Pac sessions as..... "the best sparring, EVER"
at welter, Pac only really fought Top Rank in-house opponents, and many of them were JWW's..... like Algieri, Rios, Vargas, Marquez..... Mosley was old when Floyd fought him, despite the fact that Shane was ranked #1 at welter..... but he was clearly shot when Manny fought him
Pac did not fight any of those #3 welters other than Bradley..... but Floyd fought - and beat - all of them
and before you go nuts about Bradley..... why did nobody ever mention Mayweather/Bradley, EVER?
stop handing around participation awards
