    Call it hating if you will, but I'm not giving Pac full credit for beating shopworn versions of name fighters...

    Over the hill Morales and Barrera (and he lost to the freshest Morales that he faced)

    Forced Morales down to 130 for the rematch, forced Cotto down to 145, faced DLH at 147, a weight he hadn't fought at for almost a decade

    Initially ducked SSM, facing him only when he became old and shot

    Knocked out by a 39 year-old JMM.

    How do you think a 39 year-old Pac does against a 33 year-old Marquez? Think about that for a sec. :think

    Defeated

    Marquez - Actually he arguably lost four times.
    Barrerra - Good win. Manny's greatest win.
    Morales - off his prime, Freddie Roach said Morales was a finished fighter before their first fight.
    Oscar - This is not a win. Oscar was a complete shell of what he used to be and you can't claim this is a win against 'Oscar'.
    Hatton - Good win. Hatton got beat by Mayweather but in all fairness to him, he was still a brute challenger.
    Cotto - Good win. Although Cotto was struggling to stay at 147lbs.
    Margarito - Good win. Manny still caught him at a catchweight.
    Clottey - Nothing special.
    Mosley - Mosley was COMPLETELY finished and barely even threw a punch, this seemed like nothing more than a paycheck to Mosley.
    Bradley - Solid legit win
    ledwaba - lol

    So, I give him credit for:
    1. Barrera
    2. Coming VERY close with Marquez.
    3. Past his prime Morales
    4. Bradley
    5. Hatton - kinda. Nothing special.
    6. Cotto
    7. Margarito - kinda.

    All in all, he's a top 50 ATG.
