    that Pacquiao has fought? Would Hatton have been the second elite fighter in his prime that Manny would have fought?

    I don't see how people can claim Pacquiao is the best fighter of the last 25 years, when he only has one elite in his prime on his resume.

    sasakul was elite and prime. so was barrera in their first fight in 2003. if you consider top 12-15 p4p as elite, then ledwaba can also be added there. morales was elite but probably past prime (not shot) in their second fight. but nobody else could've KO'd erik like that. actually, nobody else has.

    well, officially it's a draw and a win for pac. but you're certainly entitled to your own opinion.

    Yea Marquez is the only fighter in his prime that Pacquiao fought and floored 4 time. Marquez hasn't seen anything like it....who has.

    Pacquiao 1 win 1 draw (10-7 scorecard, it should have been 10-6) against JMM.

    He's on his way down, but I still consider him prime.
