    PAC's win was more meaningful. PAC came back from defeat and KO'd EM who had never been KO'd before and that win placed PAC on anther level. EM beating PAC.... Most felt he would win, including me. I thought it would be a more dominant performance from EM but opened my eyes to just how much potential PAC had.

    morales, that win will be end up as the best of his career, you could say he is the only one to clearly beat prime pacquiao.

    I think his win over MAB would be his career defining win but the win over PAC will be right up there.

    EM may have faced a PHYSICALLY prime PAC but was no one the best OVERALL version of Manny by a long shot. Still very raw and one demensional, PAC should have lost all 3 times to Erik....but PAC in every fight would improve and become more of a complete boxer.

    EM never faced the BEST version of PAC who is a complete fighter. EM faced a young determined fighter and could not over come the physical attributes moreso than the technical skill sets PAC had at that time.

    Even if floyd wins pac can still continue for 1/1.5 year. If anything pac is the one that could end floyds career, in the end we have to wait for the fight to happen first, at best 2012.

    No Pacquiao let Morales win because he wanted a two promotional deal with Toprank and golden boy and needed a rematch with Morales to secure it.

    What do you consider pacs prime? I think em2-cotto will be viewed as his prime when he is done, morales and barrera will forever be linked together but pacquiao is a better fighter than barrera and will be ranked higher, to be the man to have the only clear victory over him in the last decade is still very impressive.

    It's about the same. Morales can say I beat Pacquiao at his best. Pacquiao can say I'm the one and only guy to stop Morales prime or not. Maidana couldn't even put past prime Morales on the canvas and he's marketed as the beast hard puncher at 140.

    When he beat Marg or Cotto.....I think he was Physically at his best and I think he had enough experience with ELITE level opposition to be at his overall best.

    In those fights PAC was a complete fighter who had dynamic offense and solid defensive skills along with ring intelligence that only comes with facing elite level fighters on boxings biggest scale.

    The reason MAB was PAC's best win was based on a number of things.. PAC was still a very RAW and unpolished fighter operating at a level NO ONE gave him a shot at. MAB was coming off his best wins and a top P4P fighter.

    That fight was a MASSIVE upset where PAC's TALENT was unveiled as the real thing. No one thought his style and skill would allow for longevity but Roach worked on his shortcomings and PAC showed improvement every time he stepped int he ring. And PAC progressively fought bigger and better oppoents.
