    I'm going to say two wins actually, (1) 2005 Manny Pacquiao in March. Manny was supposed to blow him out of the water but that wasn't the case. I have the fight on dvd even Filipino's say good job Eric. I like to have fight parties with old fights btw. (2) Morales-Cano He showed resilency in that fight and the fight before it with Maidiana. Cano was undefeated and Lucas Matthysee dipped out on the fight with an injury. Short notice and "El Terrible" still won. That alone made him my favorite of all Mexican fighters. BTW Eric isn't washed up. I thought he was when he started boxing again after losing to David Diazboy was wrong.

    pacquiao considering what he went on to do after morales. just like chad dawson's victory over adamek is looking like his best win considering adamek did so well in cruiserweight and was at one time a legit opponent for vitaly klitchko. i wonder if delahoya ever says maybe i'm not washed up i just lost to a pretty special fighter and i should fight again just not pacquiao. although i think pacquaio may not be slowing down phsically mentally he's no longer the hungry fighter he once was.

    Zaragoza is underrated.

    The second Barrera fight is awesome.

    You have to love what he did against In Jin Chi with one eye.

    But seeing him rep the science agains the not so little typhoon from the Philippines and then go macho mode and take his best stuff in the last, giving him every chance by turning southpaw is tops!

    Pacman, first fight no question.

    But he was absolutely brilliant against Paulie Ayala, and he did very, very well against Wayne McCoullough he said very matter of factly that Morales was the far superior fighter to Hamed.

    had Pacquiao fought Erik first before Marquez..

    He would have knocked Erik out.

    You think so? I know Zaragoza held a 122 pound title belt, but he was pushing 40 years old and looked to me to be a very faded fighter in the fights I saw prior to the Morales one. And I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't think Morales looked like a million bucks there either. I don't consider it a terribly impressive performance.

    junior jones was not a worthy champion by any means.. he just had barreras number.. everyone has there kryptonite and jones was barreras

    couldent agree more with pacquiao 1 - past prime, coming off a loss.. gets chosen to put a big name on pacquiaos win list.... BIG MISTAKE
    outboxed out brawled outswarmed and added salt to the wound in the 12th round turning southpaw and eating HUGE shots by pacquiaos dynamite gloves remaining on hes feet and still southpaw for the entire duration of the last round

    CHAMPION!

    he was 39 i believe when he fought zaragosa but zaragosa though past prime was still able to school fighters thats why he had the title

    i remeber after the fight ended merchant said "this is not so much the end of a great fighter but more of a passing of the torch from 1 to another"

    how right he was

    morales could beat anyone at 140 now including bradley or marquez and it would still be his pacquiao win at 130.
