    Beats Barrera every time.

    Loses to Morales every time.

    Beats Hatton by stopping him in 10 after a grueling fight.

    DLH, after leading 5-3, lands a vicious counter left in round 9, moves in and flurries. Ref stops fight.

    Beats prime Cotto more often than not.

    Beats Margarito every time.

    Prime Mosley wins, UD or late KO.

    ... Prime Marquez wins 7 out of 10. This old one hits harder.

    pac really should of fought Cotto at 147

    then there wouldnt be saying he was drained.

    but thats exactly what roach wanted.

    I agree.

    I also agree with this, though I could possible see Cotto getting the decision as well.

    Do you really think Marquez hit harder now. I think the KO was the product of him timing the **** out of Pac coming in, resulting in Pac jumping face first into a overhand right.

    Cotto wouldn't have been drained if that happened, but he still wouldn't be prime. That Cotto left us forever during the Plasterito fight.

    He still has the skill, just not the will, durability, or punch resistance. When he gets hit now, he retreats. When he lands a good shot, he retreats while admiring it. Instead of investing in the body, he retreats and looks for opportunities to potshot.

    He's been in retreat since the middle of that fight and that mentality will remain as long as he continues to fight.

    Beats MAB
    Loses to Morales
    Loses to the Hatton that fought up to and including the Tzyu fight. *****s, and Pacturds opinions not required as they are worthless.
    Loses to Mosley
    Any version of DeLaHoya that isn't skelataly weight drained wins
    Beats the incredibly useless Margarito
    Marquez doesn't need to be included as Pacquiao simply can't beat him no matter how crooked the judges.

    Maybe. I just wouldn't use that fight to predict how a prime Marquez would do. Prime Marquez was pretty close to being out in one round, let's not forget.

    And they could fight three more times and JMM might not land that same punch as cleanly.

    ... He sure as hell didn't land it the first three times they fought...

    Marquez - we already know the outcome
    Morales - we already know the outcome

    Hatton loses by TKO

    DLH beats Pacquiao

    Mosley if he boxes beats Pacquiao, Mosley the brawler would lose

    Cotto is overrated and will always lose to Pacquiao

    Margarito is a bum without bricks, he doesn't belong on this list
