    Did one of these for Mayweather with Pacquaio officially announce his retirement after one more fight, looking back at his ATG career who is the best fighter Pacquaio beat for a World Title.
    With a record 8* division conquest, 18-3-2 in World Title fights who is the champ that stands out the most?

    C.Sasakul(WBC FlyW Champ KO8), L.Ledwaba(IBF SBW Champ TKO6), M.Barrera(Lineal FW Champ TKO 11), J.Marquez II(WBC SFW Champ SD12), D.Daiz(WBC LW Champ TKO9), R.Hatton(Lineal JWW Champ KO2), M.Cotto(WBO WW Champ TKO12), T.Bradley II(WBO WW Champ UD12)

    1.Best name(who will people remember most?)
    2.Best performance(best overall showing given the opponent/circumstances?)
    3.Toughest fight(who put up the best challenge?)
    4.Best timing(who was most prime?)
    5.Best overall(who overall is the best fought?)

    I love Juan Manuel Marquez and would probably rate him above Morales and Barrera in all time rankings, but prime for prime I think Barrera was the best out of the bunch that Manny fought.

    I'm not going to give a full answer at the moment, on a ****py phone, but for #2 I have to go with Sasakul. It was in hostile territory, Pacquiao was a kid, Sasakul was the linear guy who had only been beaten by Yuri A, and had avenged that loss, and he would be beaten clearly again until he faced Mijares years later. Very underrated win.
