is 2008-2010 Pacquiao one the greatest peaks we ever saw in a fighter?

    Pac from 01 to 09 was a ****ing monster. Best I've ever seen along with prime RJJ.

    Maybe Loma

    For me personally, yes.

    His run of MAB, Moralesx3, JMM, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito, and the star he became along the way, is one of the standout highlights of boxing since Ive been a fan of the sport. Just imo

    He also ducked Zahir Raheem but he made up for it in pure destruction.

    That Clottey match was disappointment and should not be considered. Clottey shelled up for 36 minutes at the biggest stadium that boxing could be booked at. Plus the disappointment of Arum pulling the switcheroo because we all know that was suppose to be for Mayweather vs Pacquiao in Arlington, TX.

    Floyd had a much better and more exciting run between 2005 and 2007. More complete performances and better to watch

    There's a reason why Floyd is the best fighter of the era, not PAC. Floyd was the true best.

    PAC is number two or number three. He did lose four times to Marquez

    Just let it go.
    They both fought a number of same opponents. And they fought each other. Its done. Let it be.

    Donaire from 2007 to 2011 was just a monster! But it all went downhill quite fast, yet his profile went up.
    Bigger guys could take his punch and thus take advantage of his flaws.

    Yes he was an amazing fighter, Lomachenko doesn't come close to prime pac, prime pac knocks him out cold. for his size he was an absolute monster I am a floyd fan AND a pac fan, never understood why fan boys can't put their egos and hate aside and give respect where its due. Its rare a fighter like this comes around, the only modern day comparison is loma and i don't think he comes close to prime pac.

    Loma doesn't have the opposition. Loma has Berchelt, Linares and Garcia. Pacquiao had Marquez, Barrera and Morales.
    Loma would have to move up to 147 just like Pac to get those types of legacy fights.
    Pac had perfect timing.

    What he did to Hatton , Cotto and Oscar changed the way every day fans now watch boxing.

    At times it was close to unbelievable.

    Floyd literally **** his pant for 3 years.
