whittaker fights and beats prime at their best fighters, pacquiao fights shot past their prime and at the same time dehydrated fighters with a rehydration clause
Ledwaba was a world champion, a top 15 pound for pound fighter, 33-1-1, when he fought a green Manny Pacquiao, who took the fight on 2 weeks notice, and did this to him... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gASk2E1Ih68[/ame]

For those of you voting for Pacquiao. Who dose he have besides Bareera (1 )and Hatton? oh and Maybe his slight win over Marquez (2)? Anyone else you can bring up was weight drianed, past his prime or just not that good. Whatiaker's resume is much better with Azumah Nelson, James McGirt(1,2), Julio Cesar Vasquez. I could add his win over Jose Luis Ramirez as well not to mention his draw to Julio Cesar Chavez.
Pac is p4p king for 3 years. Sweet Pea's reign lasted only for less than 2 years Pac is a 7 division champion and is favored to be the first man to win titles in 3 different decades
i love how you list pacquiao-oscar at a catchweight fight of 145 when it was really for a 147 fight while ignoring that chavez-whitaker was at catchweight of 145.
Oscar was fought his last fight at 150 and was planning to fight at at 147 for his next fight, and he did, it was contracted for 147. So dlh drops 3lbs and PAC jumps 12lbs with PAC being ridiculed apparently walking for a payday as he will get killed. He shocks the world and suddenly it's not a great win?lol.
