    He hasnt done anything that is more impressive then Calzaghe and most people here seem not to think that he is.

    Calzaghe beat Lacy, Kessler and an old Hopkins

    Pacquiao beat Morales twice, Barrera twice, and won and drew with Marquez (all three of them great fighters in my opinion).

    Pac's resume is far superior to Calzaghe's.

    **** off, he has the best resume in the sport today, and is one of the greatest ever asian fighters.
    Calzaghe is one of my favourite fighters at the minute, but he's done nothing compared to pacman.

    And Calzaghe beat Old Hopkins, Old Eubank, Overrated Lacy, Unproven Kessler.


    I agree, Morales was shot when Pac beat him, and Barerra was certainly on the way down the first time he lost to Pac.

    All in all, fighting Morales 3 times, MAB 2 times, and JMM 2 times...

    Pac's also done all of this and more in about 4 1/2 years.

    Point is, Pac has fought the best available at the time, and has not run from rematches even against fighters who beat or drew with him.

    His resume is superior, although if Pac was fighting all of these fighters in their prime, he'd have another 5 or 6 loses haha.

    I don't know, MAB has looked shot a few times in his career, but then come back; he didn't look too washed-up in his fight with Marquez (close to call), just before he climbed in with Pac.

    And I wouldn't have called Morales old for his second fight with Pac; it was a hell of an even fight right up to the stoppage.

    I agree with Pac-Morales III though.

    No, i'd give pacman beating a good barrera. I think he's win over mab (first 1) was a solid win, he deserves all the credit for that, no excuses. Mab rematch, mab just wanted to go the distance.

    I just think after that first pacman fight, it took more out of morales than it did out of pacman. Morales just had one two many brutal battles. He was definalty on the slide.

    Completely shot in the 3rd fight. (Which i've never seen because it would break my heart :lol:)
