    Everyone told me De La Hoya beat Pacman-

    Everyone-I told em Pacman would win the fight-this is what gave Manny the true #1 lb 4 lb title-nobody thought he could move up from LW and do that-

    If everyone had known BEFORE the fight that DLH would be completely drained at the weight then I can guarantee 90% of them would have changed their minds.

    OPs mom would be a more legit opponent for Pacquiao than any of these bums, but I'm afraid she couldn't make the weight-limit.

    Clottey's an underrated victory. People went on about how it was a joke of a fight, but Clottey arguably beat Cotto in his fight prior to Pacquiao, and had also beaten Zab Judah. No less legitimate than beating that mediocre headcase Victor Ortiz.

    I kinda like your list a lil better than my own (2nd) list

    I still have my own reservations about Clottey, yes I agree its underrated considering people use it as a detracting point from Pac's Cotto win, but also at the time I believe people were more interested in seeing a Bradley fight over a Clottey fight in terms of competitiveness had the negotiations fallen apart (in which it did) so I would switch those two. This is though, assuming he wins against Tim

    Wouldn't argue that at all. My line of thinking is that Bradley is clearly a better fighter than Clottey in my estimation. He's more versatile, a better body puncher, quicker on his feet, and more athletic, but he's not as proven at welterweight. Thinking about it though, I might flip their spots.
