    PAC- he was the most improbable to beat DLH. And gave the most damage.

    Trinidad, 10 years from now people will still talk about it being a robbery or not. The thing with Pac is that he beat a De La Hoya that wasn't prime and if Pac makes bigger noise in 147 people will probably forget this fight. It won't hurt De La Hoya historically, but may be of some significance for Pac himself in proving that he belonged in the 147 weight class. If anything it will help Pac historically in the same way Dela Hoya's win over Chavez helped him.

    The Trinidad fight because it was two greats prime for prime and he was robbed in epic fashion, the first Mosley fight because it was two greats prime for prime and he lost clearly in a great fight, and the Pacquiao fight because it was effectively the end of his career.

    I think Pacman. The losses to Mosley and the one punch bodyshot by Hopkins just made this win by Pacman look like Oscar was good, but not really ATG. Yeah Oscar was old but not really way past his prime. He still gave Floyd an ok fight. I think he was outfought and it was not only age.

    I'd say the first Mosley fight when both were in their primes and Mosley moved up 2 weight classes and clearly beat Oscar. That right there showed that Oscar lacked that special something necessary to really seperate himself from the pack

    This is one thing I never got, to me the Floyd vs Hoya felt pretty one sided am I in the minority?

    i know all in this fights,except PBF, dela hoya is the favored fighter..but i feel that his lost to mosley in their second fight takes a major blow in his ATG rankings because he should have correct his mistakes the second time around and hand mosley a convincing loss..

    his loss to pacquiao is so high profile that he quited. you hardly see the heart of a fighter in him
