    What fight would you say showed vintage Pac and at his absolute best?

    Has to be Miguel cotto for me he showed everything that night toughness and pure grit and power to stop the guy who came in close to 170 that night I think he weighed 165 cotto on fight night

    Cotto for me. Also Hatton (as short as it was)

    I just felt Pacquiao was the complete package. Fast, banged, great chin, could box well and had awesome head movement.

    Cotto fight was incredible after the first 2 rounds I really thought Pacquiao was in big trouble, Cotto looked really strong, but I think Pacquiao in his first fight with Barrera was his best performance. Incredible

    What really impressed me was despite Pac being clearly the smaller fighter he still tried to overpower Cotto what every smaller fighter would of done was try to box and win and boring UD but Pac decided to fight fire with fire.

    I just couldn't believe how the hell he was walking down cotto as if he was nothing amazing

    Yup, I'd go with a prime Cotto - one of the very, very, very best wins in history given it was at welterweight and Pac was in the 10th weight class from where he started. Cotto said he had no problems making the weight and felt great. It was a demolition.

    From 2001 starting from the demolition of Ledwaba till the trashing of Antonio margarito at end of 2010, Pac conquered 7 divisions. All of his fights are a MUST see even the ones he struggled and lost.
    I agree with most pick of cotto, who was the combination of bigger closer to prime more accomplished fighter.
    Although beat down of Barrera 1, morales 2-3, Diaz, Oscar, hatton, clottey and margarito are all amazing.

    Barrera. Best win over an opponent that doesn't have any sort of mitigating circumstance. And one of his very best and most dominant performances.

    Margarito was ranked somewhere outside the top 500 at the time and a confirmed cheat. Can't believe people think that's a decent win, let alone a good one, I honestly can't... The answer here for me has to be the first Barrera fight, Cotto, or starching out Hatton.
