I challenged your assertion. There have been numerous examples in boxing history where a lesser fighter simply beats a better fighter. It happens. When MAB beat Morales in 2002 he simply beat the best fighter in the world.
:rofl EM was never the best of anything you're delsuinal the P4P rankings back that up as well. Get out of your dream world and live in reality. Hopkins RJJ and Mosley were all seen as better fighters at that point hell PBF ranked ahead of him at that point as well.
That's your opinion. If you've read the thread you will notice a lot of posters think it's a solid list. Can we see your list?
Gatti participated in a FOTY against Ward but got his ass kicked against PBF. FOTY has nothing to do with greatness it's irrelevant.
Wait, you think Hopkins was better than Mayweather from 2002-2004? Especially by 2004 Hopkins workrate was starting to slip. Hopkins from 93-01 was definitely better than 04 Hopkins.
Impossible to give anyone other than Mayweather 2007. Anyone who's picking Manny's wins over Jorge Solis and Barrera over Mayweather's wins over ODLH (at 154) and Hatton isn't even pretending to judge fairly. I can take the Joe Calzaghe argument. You can even make a case for Cotto in 2007.
Pacquiao in 2007 was smack in his prime. In 2008 he would defeat Marquez so clearly he still had a lot left in the tank.
