What is Pacquiao's best victory?

It’s crazy to think that Pac has victories over 6 HOF fighters (Barrera, JMM, Morales, Cotto, ODLH, Mosley). Hatton and Bradley are future HOF fighters as well. People will look back and appreciate just how good Pac’s resume is. Easily the greatest Asian boxer.

Barrera 1 fight..it was utter destruction of a pound for pound fighter by basically an unknown..he'd looked good against ledwaba but not good enough to convince me Barrera wouldn't hand him his ass ... The cotto performance is a close 2nd

Really enjoyed Pacquiaos career .he was just an absolute buzzsaw...and I'd say he was already an atg by the time if the de la Hoya fight. Which considering his run afterwards..is absolute madness

 

With Pacman where do you start, just looking at other fighters who reach their mid 30's has people assuming their now on the downside or even nearing to be completely shot,

Makes you truly appreciate everything he did all the way to age 43 while consistently & unnecessarily taking on larger guys by all dimensions while having such a small reach is mind boggling along with the natural size/height he gave up & the amount of Tape/knowledge Fighters facing him had on him before even stepping into the ring,

By 2010 Boxing had became a part time activity while he juggled multiple roles while preforming at such a high level, had he not have that 2 year Covid inactiveness & would have rather came back to fight in the weight class of 140lb where he actually belonged he would still wreck havoc,

the unfathomable, uncomprehensive Smiling Demon.

 

Pac has so many great wins that wins that go overlooked on his resume would be by far the best victory on most very good fighters resume's.

Marquez II was an ATG win, and yet it's barely even mentioned because Pac has so many other great victories.

 

Pac is God

 

Beautifully said Tinman.

 

He was a low level ATG before he was 25. Absolute nuts. By the time he was 25 he had knocked out the best 112, 122 and 126 pounders in the world. And the 126 pounder was one of the best p4p fighters in the history of the sport.

 

I think he became an atg after Marquez 2.
He had the fights with the mexican greats as mini fab four and the rise from flyweight to superfeather.

 

Only disagreement with this is while jmm2 is a great win...not everyone thinks he won...think I had Marquez up by 2-3 points

 

I agree. It's a fight in which Iast time I checked 32 media scores had Pac winning and 32 media scores had Marquez winning. It's really split down the middle.

 

Probably one of my favourite fights...didn't catch fire like the first but on a technical level it's superb... And with Floyd retired it was arguably p4p 1 n 2 going at it
