    In what fight would you say pacman was at his peak? One fight only. Amazing combinations, power, cutting ring, everything.

    Idk, could had been right around the hatton or odh fights. It's too hard to tell if that was more him or more odh being gunshy and flat.

    Hatton was only 2 rounds and he hurt him pretty bad in round 1. Idk there either, is that more to do with hatton coming off a brutal 10 round beating enroute to a bad tko loss.

    Too many variables and hindsights always 20/20.

    The first Barrera fight. Don't know if he had all his skills there. But at least pretty close to it.

    But that is the vintage Pacquiao prrformance. Where he showed all the things that made him what he was. Most notably the speed, in and out movement and volume.

    He also had an underrated chin at his best weight classes as well.

    Hatton wasn't coming off a loss... In between Mayweather he fought Paulie M. and Lazcano...

    Probably the Cotto fight. ODH was a pretty brutal beating and that was a little over 1 year from when ODH arguably beat Mayweather.

    ODH, Hatton and Cotto and right in that time frame. But he looked amazing agains Barera as well.

    Hatton fight was only 2 rounds. Pacquiao's defining trait is workrate. So I wouldn't say that is a definitive Pacquiao fight.

    H2H Pacquiao was much more dangerous in the second Marquez fight than the Cotto fight.

    He had all the same skills by then, but carried so much more power at 130 pounds than 145 pounds.

    The reason he looked better in the Cotto fight is that Marquez is a pure ATG and Cotto is not.

    2008 Pac>2009 Pac.

    Featherweight Pac>>>>>>>Welterweight Pac
