    The two are interchangeable as I see it. I can see the argument for Mosley-Oscar, I can see the argument for Pac-Barrera. I went for Mosley-Oscar at the time because I feel Oscar was a more difficult opponent in 2000 than Barrera was in 2003. Oscar was effectively undefeated, having outboxed Tito and been robbed, and I've always thought he was a slightly better fighter than MAB. Also, Oscar in '00 was pretty much still peak, whereas Barrera was definitely still in his prime but maybe a little beyond his own actual peak. But as I said, I wouldn't argue with anyone who saw it the other way around, not at all.

    Bumping this for the benefit of anyone who enjoyed today's 80s list but hasn't seen the first two.

    No way I'd put Manny at 2.

    It was a great win, but there were better

    You know,

    Manny vs. Cotto at 6?

    Cotto was coming off numerous bad performances at the time. Clottey nearly beat the guy

    I think I should have predicted a lot of these just by your avatar, but having this fight at 6, is just stupid

    Maybe 26

    You know, just a lot of basic errors.

    Hatton was 157 in ring versus Tszu

    Hatton was 156 in ring with Mayweather

    Tszyu was 152 in ring with Hatton

    Mayweather was 147 in ring with Hatton



    It wasn't a Welterweight fight. To struggle at Welterweights, you have to be facing a Welterweight, and you have to be boxing as a Welterweight

    All Floyd vs. Hatton was, was the normal ricky Hatton, taking on a lightweight

    "Hatton was undefeated at his prime weight, and Pacquiao was the lower-weight fighter."


    Hatton was so finished by this time, that he barely even got the fight, as he nearly got knocked out in his warm up

    Again, putting this bout, ahead of the Mayweather version, is just plain comedy

    Manny vs. Morales 2

    Morales was shot, and coming off a loss, to a journeyman!

    Sorry, I get lists are subjective, and as a pacfan, you're going to overhype his wins, but you've just ignored logic, on a lot of these placings

    And ignoring logic, isn't very good, for a ranking list.

    You know, ranking Pacquiao vs. Cotto ahead of even say Williams versus Martinez as an example?

    Two prime, pfp top 10 fighters, at their peaks, going head to head.

    When Manny faced Cotto, he was not an elite fighter, at the top of the sport. He was a guy many people considered finished

    ^^^

    How come I knew when I clicked to see this guy's post it would be either related to Floyd or Pacquiao.

    You know, claiming Cotto was A- is just plain fantasy. And completely false.

    He was coming off being destroyed by Margarito, which nobody thought he'd come back from, and very nearly losing to Josh Clottey as well.

    He was damaged goods, and well past his best, in most people's eyes
