    Oh come on. He didn't knock Marquez down??? See round 2. I think you'll find he did.
    he may not have knocked him down as many times as Pacquiao did but on the flip side did Pacquiao outbox Marquez in the way that Mayweather
    did? Nope
    hatton is not really a decent barometer either. Pacquiao did an absolute number on him but I'm beginning to think Hatton was not the same fighter as he had been when he faced Mayweather. Lifestyle aside, i think losing that undefeated swagger will always affect a fighter.

    We don't really have a Fab 4 if you think about. The closest we had to a Fab 4 of this generation was Pac, MAB, EM and JMM, but even that was a bit flawed(i.e JMM and EM not fighting)

    Who finished Marquez exactly?

    You make it sound like Marquez is a tomato can.

    Idiot.

    Nonsense. Mayweather signed a contract to have FIVE fights, Pacquiao is his 2nd. You can't exactly freely ignore a signed contract just like that unless he plans to pay it off which I doubt is the plan. The procedure leads him to court, penalty and loss of money. He's not stupid to put his self in that position if he knew he plans to retire after two fights. You're predicting based on opinion and your opinion makes you look clueless.

    You can see Pacquiao fighting the winner of Mosley-Berto?, again I repeat what you see is NOT based on facts just based on your personal opinion/prediction and that makes you look clueless. Roach publicly announced that if all goes good against Mayweather that will be their last fight. There have been zero reports from Mayweather and his camp about possibly retirement if they beat Pacquiao.

    You might want to make some research before making a post like you're Pacquiao and Mayweather's manager.

    He doesn't have to beat over 1000 to clean house. Fighting and beating the champions or an official lineal/#1 fighter is cleaning house followed by a few good title defenses against top opposition.

    I know. i was exaggerating. I was just pointing out that Mayweather has not waited for someone to clean the house out as there are still names in the division that Manny has yet to face that could be a threat. Mosley for one.

    That's pretty close...

    - Pac has fought Cotto and will fight Floyd (leaves out Mosley)
    - Floyd has fought...will fight Pac (needs Cotto [if he can prove himself again] & Mosley)
    - Cotto has fought Pac and Mosley
    - Mosley has fought Cotto (leaves out Pac and Floyd)

    Too many fights to be made in order for this to workout as the Fab4
    ------------------------------------

    - DLH [Trinidad, Mosley and Vargas] (complete trio)
    - Trinidad [DLH & Vargas] (leaving out Mosley)
    - Mosley [DLH & Vargas] (leaving out Trinidad and Hopkins)
    - Vargas [Trinidad, Mosley and DLH] (complete trio)

    ~~****~~~~****~~
    if you were to replace Hopkins with Vargas...
    * B-Hop [DLH and Trinidad] (leaving out too small Mosley)

    just as close as the JMM, Pac, MAB and EM circle...

    *B-Hop would be a good comparison to the Hagler type character...
    --------------------------------------

    - RJJ (Hopkins, Toney, Calzaghe AND G.Johnson)
    - Hopkins (RJJ, Calzaghe - leaving out Toney)
    - Toney (RJJ...leaving a shitload left)
    - Calzaghe (RJJ and Hopkins - leaving out Toney and Johnson)

    Looks like the same as our "current" Fab 4...nowhere near complete...I'd like to point the finger at Toney for being a fatass and Calzaghe for being a total *****...this would've been a nice addition to a possible explosive and memorable Fab 4

    again the 80's era of boxing was just better period one belt per division and LESS DIVISIONS....hence you get some many ATGS's....DURAN, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard where blessed to fight in that era.....there are no fighters today like them....even if Floyd beats the Cotto, Margo, Shane, PW...out of those four who compares to any of the four ATG's just mentioned?

    They called them the fabulous four because they all fought each other. Morales never fought Marquez.

    vargas was a *** that got lucky he was on the hbo contracts and got a "win" over winky.

    I would probably say tito, mosley, dlh and then either hopkins or winky
