    No doubt, but is it even worth charting or assigning a prime to an athlete who is pretty much mediocre filler material?

    sorry I thought the question was about who among the poll options was closest to his prime not just to try to pick holes through Pac's resume.

    my bad.

    He hasn't been in his prime for a decade, but Floyd sure fought a way better version of Oscar and had more obstacles to overcome in the fight. Fact:good

    cotto was right on his prime (around 27 or 28) when pac fought him.

    barrera was slightly past it but is on a hot streak and s on the very top of his game when pac fought him.

    sasakul was right on his prime when a teen-ager pacquiao beats him for his first title (lineal also).

    marquez the first time pac fought him is at his very prime.

    diaz and clottey also are their in their primes when pac fought them.

    and the thing is, pac right now at age 32 with already 16/17 years of ring age as a pro is also not in his prime any more.
