    right....this coming from a person who has him with only 4 great fight for him but yet Oscar was was one of Pac's greatest.....but he isnt for Floyd?

    Your hate for Floyd means you dont really care to see the list. The fact that you couldnt come up with 5 fights suggests you have alternate motives so...plus..u still think name calling on the iternet is cool....thats the real joke

    You miss my point - I don't think that Morales was well past it - Not in the way Eubank was, by any stretch of the imagination.

    I doubt Eubank will be a HOF'er, either. Morales was a superior competitor in every way. It's not as though Morales had been picking up pay days, scraping by on mediocre opposition for 4 years prior to Pacquiao beating him, had he?

    If Morales was shot, it was Pacquiao that shot him.

    this win gets overlooked so much....i remember when if he had gotten past Baldo that would have been a huge match up people thought Zab had all the tools to beat Floyd and he actually does...except the head part.

    The Judah win was a very good win but even Mayweather had Judah right when, before the bout, he was referring to him as a 4-round fighter. Nonetheless, Mayweather showed great composure during this match, while he watched Judah unravel in front of him.

    Hatton and ODLH win are in the top 5 of FMJ's career defining wins. Pac also beat the two and also helped Pac's career, however i wouldn't put those 2 in Pac's top 5 wins.

    That's how big a difference their resume is.

    Posters are forgetting the question being asked is "made them great boxers", for that the top 5 of Pac should include Ledwaba and Sasakul (his first major title). Just like Floyd, who deserves Hernandez' name in his top 5 along with Hatton/ODLH. Call me old school, but i still rate Pac's early chapter wins as "better" ones, than his chapter 2 wins (diaz onwards). Plus, I really really think the competition in 122-126 lbs (3 mexican warriors in the same division) when he entered is extremely tougher than the current 140-147 divisions.
