    The bodyshot hurt him badly and showed him it was basically his limit.
    I feel the Margarito fight took something out of Pac as well. He wasnt the whirlwind anymore from Diaz till that fight afterwards.

    I think he started to show his age after that. Manny was only 32, but at that point your speed and reflexes do start to slow, so 32 is no longer 28. And for a man as athletically gifted as he, it was apparent.

    Struggled to get a fight with Mayweather. Not the actual fight just cause he lost.
    Hell, the Horn fight was tougher than fighting Floyd.
    Obvious answers are Morales and Marquez though.

    Clearly Mayweather, Marquez , Cotto, Ugas and the guys who knocked him out were his toughest fights.

    PAC was robbed against Horn imo.
    Mayweather made him look foolish which he obviously always would have.

    Made to look foolish is what he did to a green drained canelo. He edged pac in a 8-4 type potshot clinchfest in the most boring superfight ever.
    Lets not act like he put in some bhop pavlik type 12-0 schooling. You could barely call that a fight, let alone his hardest fight ever when the guy been in plenty of wars troughout his long career.
    Its like people who act Fury put in some atg type schooling when he edged Wlad. Lets be real about it and not make it more than it is.

    Yeah, its more ridiculous of you find it wide like an adalaide Byrd card are something.
    If its 12-0 or something in your book than thats more out of the realm of a logical scorecard and just nuthugging. But to each his own.

    First thought was Margarito.

    Anyway the fighters Pacman was in the ring with was just incredible. Sorry for going off topic.
