What Is Pacquiao's Greatest Performance?

Cotto was drained and took a hellacious beating by Marg (with bricks?)
Defintiely Barerra

 

Cotto for best beatdown
Hatton for best KO
Barrera for best breakout win

Voted for Cotto (poll)

 

Hatton.

 

Margarito.

It fundamentally changed the way I handicap weight. It proved these 5 pound barriers are mostly symbolic and we make too much of them. After watching Manny punch Margarito down to his skeleton its hard to give credit to guys venturing 25 pounds above their natural weight class and just existing.

Cotto and De La Hoya are great ones too.

 

In particular so many from 2006 to 2010 that standout. It's hard to pick one.

 

Tough call. I do remember threads on here discussing hypothetical match ups between manny and hatton. People were completely dismissive and saying Hatton would absolutely maul him. The idea of him fighting cotto was laughable. The fact that he went on to fight and beat cotto is very impressive.

 

Barrera I, Cotto or Hatton.

 

Barrera 1 as Barrera was a top 3 P4P fighter and Pacquiao dismantled him I personally rank this as the number 1 win for Pacquiao.

But i actually think his performance vs David Diaz was the most eye pleasing fight I've ever seen from Pacquiao though he didn't lose a single minute in that fight.

In regards to KOs obviously Hatton is his best KO.

So if I was to rate them in categories ?

Barrera 1 is his best win.

Diaz is his most eye pleasing complete performance.

Hatton is his best KO.

 

Hatton. The way he beat him was shocking. Cotto too, though I don't like that Cotto had a re-hydration clause. I'm against that type of stuff.

 

The way he obliterated Hatton was insane

 

Barrera is arguably his best win and a very good performance from Pacquiao considering how his style was still raw and not fine tuned yet during that period of his career.

2008 when Pac edged JMM, and thrashed Diaz / ODLH was the beginning of his prime where he was much more well rounded and became more of a boxer.

2009 Pacquiao when he demolished Hatton and Cotto was Pac at his absolute peak of his physical prime where he was brilliant and devastating.

Personally for me I think Cotto was his best and most thrilling performance given the historic significance of this win of being the first 7th weight world champ.

 

Everyone was weightdrained when you look at it..

gonna go with Morales 2.
