    holy ****ing ****, so mayweather beat barrera, morales, and cotto?? I had not ****ing idea! And I was under the impression that mayweather refused to fight cotto for that whole...year or so when it was the best fight that could be made. But according to you he was ruined by mayweather!

    ****, remember when mayweather dominated clottey (at the time, a top rated welterweight) before pac got to him.

    and holy ****, mayweather must have hoped into his delorean with marquez and went back in time and beat up juan manuel before pac ever got ahold of him. this is ground breaking!

    Mike Tyson could probably be on that list.

    manny pacquiau Hands /down ! Has beaten overmatched, over the hill hand picked opponants to make himself look good ,for paper titles. David diaz for a lightweight title ? A shellshocked Hatton after Mayweather ? Cott has.nt been the same since Margarito,fight was also at a catchweight. A turtle inJoshua Clottey. Margarito in his second fight in 2 years at a catchweight. Now an over the hill Mosely coming off of a loss and a draw. How in the hell can you fight for a title at a catchweight ? Very good work by bob arum and freddy roach.

    where do you seen him overrated?:think

    best resume of the last 30 years (forgetting wins/loses record). he took on the best, won some and lost some. no one is ranking him as a top 10 but top 100 is assured and probably top 50

    Mike Tyson

    Arguably not even in the top 10 ATG Heavyweight list.

    Cant understand why so many people are putting Calzaghe. The guy gets more stick on these boards than just about everybody. To then say that he's overrated is just doublingly underrating him.

    Irony...

    Mayweather beat Corrales IN HIS PRIME
    Mayweather beat Castillo IN HIS PRIME
    Mayweather beat De La Hoya WHEN HE WASN'T SHOT
    Mayweather beat Hatton WHEN HE WASN'T SHOT

    Pacquiao makes a carrear out of beating great fighters who are past their prime

    the argument goes both ways (**** me, i can't believe i'm even getting into this)

    pac beat barrera in his prime
    pac beat morales when beat he wasn't shot (2nd fight)
    pac beat marqeuz (and don't argue the result or we can discuss castillo 1) in his prime
    pac beat cotto when he wasn't shot

    mayweather beat a corrales who was so weight drained he was nearly ****ing dead
    mayweather beat a well past prime oscar
    mayweather beat a prime hatton out of his prime weight class

    this game is fun but absolutely pointless. they're both great fighters, one is active, the other isn't
