    And we would have had:

    Pacquiao vs. Mosley
    Pacquiao vs. Ortiz
    Pacquiao vs. Cotto
    Pacquiao vs. Guerrero
    Paquiao vs. Alvarez
    Pacquiao vs. Maidana I
    Pacquiao vs Maidana II

    And

    Mayweather vs. Hatton
    Mayweather vs. Cotto
    Mayweather vs. Clottley
    Mayweather vs. Margarito
    Mayweather vs. Marquez
    Mayweather vs. Mosley
    Mayweather vs. Bradley
    Mayweather vs. Marquez
    Mayweather vs. Rios
    Mayweather vs Bradley
    Mayweather vs. Algeri

    Would you judge these fighters differently?

    Doubt it. I mean it's possible if Canelo landed a perfect shot. But it's more likely Manny would just outland him over 12 rounds.

    When a fighter fights 10 times in a division, and fights 6 of those fights against unranked opposition, I judge them harshly.

    I would be extremely critical of Mayweather for taking on Pac's list. Very critical. If that was actually Mayweather's resume, he'd be tarred and feathered publicly. Everybody loves Pacquiao however, so he can do no wrong.

    Pacquiao is completely unproven above 147.

    Agreed, I just hope you don't think Margarito beats Floyd either like some of the goons on here (C.J.).

    You support a boxer fighting 6 of his 10 fights at 147 pounds against unranked opposition?

    Interesting. :think

    yeah sure he is unproven, oh wait did he just beat a WW named Bradley who is also arguably p4p no. 3?

    "ABOVE" 147.....

    Did Bradley beat Pacquiao in their first fight in your opinion? If not, then just quiet with the p4p nonsense.

    awe look someone is sensitive.

    You ignore the fact that Pac was way more active and attempt to supplement that with "unranked" opposition. Well, Bradley was #3 P4P, Cotto was favored against Pac, as was DLH, and many thought Margo would KO Pac.

    great argument.
