Has Pacman ever beaten an elite boxer in their prime?

No, which is why he is a fraud.

 

Barrera - Old and clobbered by Junior Jones x2
Morales - Clobbered by Raheem
Marquez - Pac lost
Hatton - Broken by Mayweather and had no camp
Cotto - Broken by Margarito and had no camp
Bradley - Outworked him and won on aggression early and ring generalship late.

Mayweahter > Pac :deal

 

Yes, Bradley. :hi:

 

if the question had been, who/what potential HOF'mer has pac avoided within his weight range that was in his prime?.... you would have avoided this thread.

 

No but Barrera comes the closest. End Thread. Oh yeah and Bradley and he caught an "L". Now End thread.

 

Timothy Bradley. He beat him while he was undfeated and the starter of this thread knows the answer to this question even though officially the record says a loss because of 2 knucklehead judges.

 

You should have added a poll.

 

Erm, No.

 

Cotto, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, Bradley (if Bradley goes on to be elite).

 

Yes, Barrera who had 8 straight wins, beating the likes of Naseem Hamed & won the Lineal & vacant IBO Featherweight title, Erik Morales & Johnny Tapia before he fought Pacquiao.

Pacquiao was a huge under dog against Barrera.

 

sadly the answer is no pac's a hof no-doubt but most of that is off of moving through the divisions and HOW he beat ppl not WHO he beat you can bring up name after name but at the end of the day everyone of pac's biggest opponents where coming off of demolitions and the ones that weren't no ones heard of. (Honorable Mention) (Marco Antonio Barrera)

 

Well he tried to get Mosley at 142 after Cotto,avoided Juan to fight beaten/damaged/way past it fighters like Clottey,Cotto,Hatton,Oscar,
Margarito,I'll give him credit for Bradley but he looked average against him..

 

A close decision? Against Jones? In the rematch maybe but he was pretty much one punched in their first fight, went to war with Morales, Maurin, Mckinney, Jones in the rematch, a dirty ass fight with Sanchez.

Barrera was prime in the late 90s to 2001 maybe.

 

Only Barrera and possibly Bradley(not convinced he's elite though).

 

Barerra and Cotto. Marquez and Bradley as well depending on what your scores are.
