    So beating a weight drained Oscar is a better win then when Floyd did it at 154? Does common sense not apply?

    Ofcourse not when Pac fought oscar he was not only shot but drained but we also have to bear in mind Pac jumped 2 weight classes.

    I give him more credit for the second fight. MAB was ready the second time around which was why he did better then he did first time around.

    Do you realize that pbf would beat the **** outta Morales and MAB he already tooled jmm. Also guys liked oscar and mosley ducked pbf when he was coming up they knew how great he was and wanted no parts of him. Pbf had no prime atg in his weight class when he was there. Please name these so called prime atg fighters that were at his weight when he was there. I'll wait for the answer.

    So what are you talking about logic then? Barrera wasn't prepared for the first fight, and De la hoya was a dead man walking.. surely you can understand if people don't want to give pac full credit for both those wins.. there was too many factors with both those fights.. I stated some for barrera, now for oscar he hadnt made 147 in 7 years and was eating ostrich eggs trying to get back down, let's not forget he was severely dehydrated at the weigh in.

    Well I think his tough fights leading up to Pacquaio affected him in some way.. it has to be tough turning pro at 15 years old being in wars, just being burned out by fighting pros for 14 years straight.. when he took a break and came back he looked rejuvenated which was what he needed and obviously that's why he did better in the rematch against an even better pacquaio.:deal

    oscar is the only fight i would be inclined not to give any credit to Pac but even so Pac jumped up 2 weight classes

    Both Corrales and Castillo were prime and HOF worthy...

    Yes i agree Pac has been in so many wars before even fighting hatton and that did not look to effect him
