    Pacquiao has already defeated his best opponents. I would say Morales, Barrera, Marquez are tougher than Diaz, Valero, Guzman, etc....


    I have to say Pacquiao ranks above any p4p boxer today.

    Just messing with you:hi:

    Seriously, as much as I'd like to, it's hard to make a solid case for PAC being above PBF. My PFP list did not change at all after PAC/JMM2!

    Barrera was 29 and coming off some of the biggest wins in his career when Pac fought him

    So what ? He won a controversial fight against Morales and he had a lot of tough fights before. At 29, Barrera was far from being a fresh fighter.

    Saw that footage the other day (when JMM was calling for another fight) shocked at how big Pac looked walking around weight. Big ****ing head on him as well.

    Sorry. Pac may have won a decision over Marquez, but he has yet to actually BEAT Marquez.

    Yes but he's still the No. 2 pound for pound best.

    "a well past Barrera" were your words

    coming off wins over Kevin Kelley, Morales, and Hamed.

    I agree. But there are some arguments against him:

    1. Morales was shot. He beat Pac once.

    2. Barrera was past his prime the second time.

    3. The Marquez fights were disputed.

    1. Morales wasn't "shot" 0 He certainly wasn't prime, but shot is a strectch. To come back and stop the guy that clearly beat you 115-113 whilst cut in the middle rounds to become the first to STOP Morales not once but twice - That was impressive.

    2. He destroyed Barerra in the first fight - It was a nearer to prime MAB than Morales was in their fights.

    3. The first fight under different rules and no one would ever speak of Marquez with the reverence he deserves - A first round KO and Manny would be god to non-Mexicans, where his role would be reversed (as it is now I guess ;)

    It is as a tribute to Marquez' ability as it is to Pac how evenly matched they are. it doesn't lessen Manny's radness.

    this will never be settled until Pacquiao kills Marquez in the ring...Un-f'n believable. Let go people
