    andre ward, abner mares, carl froch. pac had a good run after his first fight with MAB. starting with the david diaz fight not so much. although bradley is a good start.

    Sticking to that word consecutively,

    In history, i'd have to go with Leonard. He fought a whole bunch of ATG's one after another...



    Recently, it has to be Frochy. He has gone out of his way to fight the best and to never take a backseat. While I believe Calzaghe would of beaten him, I also believe that Froch has the far, far better resume with 90% less ducking, injuries and blatant bull**** management...

    An excellent british fighter, because you know what they say, if you ain't had a loss, you ain't fought nobody!

    At the time, those were all seen as hard fights for pacquaio up until margarito. It's weird to think that it those fights had been more competitive pac would have been given more credit. Anyway it was a run that transformed him from a guy only hardcore fans knew to a mainstream star and if you look at the betting odds they'll say that those fights were all against highly rated fighters who were supposed to be well matched. He may have beaten them more easily than expected, but that means he should get more credit not less.

    Oh and froch is up there as well

    Vaughn Bean, Bobby Czyz and Joyhn Ruiz aren't exactly top fighters, in fact I would call Vaughn bean one of the worst HW title contenders of all time.

    When you consider his age,and how the general consensus is that he was ruined by being matched so hard,I think this is an excellent shout.
    In current terms,Froch can stand up to anyone.In fact I'd say he's the one who's best known for a hard run of fights right now.

    If you throw out the three round NC against Raul Marquez, Mosley's run of Forrest x2, DLH and then Winky x2 is pretty impressive. Yeah, he lost four out of those five, but that's when you know a guy is really fighting tough opposition (when they're kicking his ass).

    It´s a decent run. Beat top 10 contenders. B level fighters.

    And Katsidis has faced a lot of the top Lightweights. If i remember correctly then Casamayor, Diaz and Marquez were all nr 1 guys when Katsidis fought them. Too bad he lost all 3.

    Muhammad Ali (hows that for a generic answer)

    SD loss to Ken Norton
    SD win over Ken Norton
    UD win over Rudi Lubbers
    UD win over Joe Frazier
    KO win over George Foreman

    In there is a win and loss with a top 15 heavyweight, a ko over a top 10-15 heavyweight, a win over a top 5 heavyweight in Joe Frazier and a easier fight thrown in there.
