    they were at the time. Ndou isnt much better than clottey and ghatti was a warrior... THAT fight was what dominating your opponent was all about!!!

    Floyd would not jump 50-odd places based on one win.

    Gatti, at 140, is a NOTHING win for a supposedly 'great' fighter.

    if sasakul and ledwaba are added to pacquiaos best wins, then manfredy, philip ndou, demarcus corley and arturo gatti should be added to floyds list. :rofl

    Read about them before posting such tripe :good

    Sasakul's only defeat before Pacquiao was to Arbachkov, arguably a P4P top 10 fighter. He then avenged this loss and handed Arbachkov his only career defeat. Not to mention Arbachov was the top man in his division for 5 years. Sasakul was also within the top 10 of the division for 5 years before he met Pacquiao as well and was regarded as the 'top dog' when he and Pacquiao met.

    Ledwaba was one of the top guys at super-bantam for 2-3 years and had defended his IBF belt a fair few times before fighting Pacquiao. Not as strong as an opponent as Sasakul, but still a good opponent.

    i dont think it was fluky. mannys heart man, he just kept coming forward walking through shots and finally got that big left hand. plus, sakasul kept bobbing his head to the right, right onto mannys left hand.
