    Pac's just about, but only because of how good Barrera was at that time.

    I would say, Morales = Corrales and Barrera>Castillo.

    So Pac would have it.

    Pac's win over Barrera and Morales.

    Simply because IMO Floyd lost to Castillo in the first fight.

    Also... MAB and EM are better fights thaN Chico and JLC.

    :nono both. if anything, both mab and erik were higher skilled than both chico and jlc. there was word that the smaller mab was beating chico in sparring, and as good as jlc was, both he and chico were never as consistent as mab or erik. jlc had some early losses to javier jauregui and cesar soto and other fighters, while you can make the argument about mab's loss to junior jones, but lost a disputed rematch afterwards. i do give floyd credit for giving jlc the rematch and probably putting on his best performance. i think that win over a prime jlc was better than the one over hatton

    Scorecard for Floyd vs Castillo. Oh and Pac lost to Morales, clearly, so I fail to see what that has to do with it.

    Higher skilled does not translate to beater fighters. Chico while not as highly skilled as Barrera or Morales in his prime had insane dimensions for a super featherweight and was knocking out guys left and right because of his strength and physical advantages. Including knocking out Frietas who beat Zahir right after he beat Morales before Pac could.

    Got a link that says Morales was beating Chico in sparring?

    If you believe Floyd lost the fight with Castillo despite the fact that the judges scored it for Floyd and most of the ringside observers, then you should be able to produce some form of a scorecard.

    I voted `Floyd over Castillo & Chico` even tho I regard Morales & Barrera as better fighters than Castillo & Corrales.... let me explain....

    The 2 versions of Morales that Pac beat were poor compared to the prime version.
    The 1st Barrera victory was amazing, better than any single victory Floyd has probably but the other Barrera victory was vs a past prime version.

    Mayweather beat a prime Castillo twice, tho the 1st one was debatable & beat an undefeated prime Corrales.

    The difference is WHEN these fights took place IMO, not WHO they were against.

    Pac has 1 prime Barrera win vs 3 prime wins for Floyd with Castillo & Chico.

    :good

    Thats true but by the time Pacquiao met Barrera and especially Morales they were at the tail end of their careers. Where as Castillo and Corrales would cement there legacies after losing to Floyd. Victories always look better when the fighter you beat goes on to have a great career instead of stopping a fighter at the tail end of his.
