    What was Manny's most impressive 'big time' win ? I'm leaning towards his classic first fight with the legend Barrera - incidentally, do you feel that that version of MAB was just about 'prime' ?

    when all is said and done he dominated a lineal MAB who then spent many years more on top.

    then again what he did to hatton was silly. hatton is a legit 140 fighter and pac started at 106. pac is ****ing old school.

    Agree twice - it was always a heart v head thing with Ricky, but the way he tore into MAB, you couldn't quite believe what you were seeing :bbb

    MAB 1 for me no question. Out of almost nowhere to not just beat a very good Barrera but to thrash him.

    and Barrera is one of my all time favourites !

    1: Barrera 1 - I honestly fought he would lose.

    2: Marquez 2 - Although I think he lost by 1 round he had to fight an amazing fight that night.

    3: Moralles 2 - Moralles had worked Pac Man out in their first fight so he had to change his tactics for the re-match.

    Barrera wasn't up for the first fight and boxed ****. Had he been anywhere near his prime he'd have beat Pac probably. I'd go for the hatton win.

    What makes you say that? I know Barrera didn't exactly have a perfect training camp for the 1st fight but I think Pacquiao is just a horrible stylistic fight for him and probably loses 9 times out of 10. And wasn't he ranked in the top 5 in the Rings P4P list before that fight so he wasn't exactly a fighter on the decline at that point.

    Barrera
    Morales 2
    Hatton

    As was said Hatton is a legit 140 fighter. While I don't rate him as highly as some people on here its still fair to say he was at the top of LWW from the Tzsyu win onward. And for a lad that won his first title at Flyweight to come up and face Hatton at his prefered LWW and then smash him to pieces like he did is really a superb performance.

    I couldn't include JMM fights on the list because I had him losing both

    Cotto won't end anything. Win or lose what Pacquiao has done in the sport is great. I don't see Cotto fighting any super middleweights.

    I'd go with Barrera. The guy was 28 years old and just had wins against Morales, Tapia, Kelley and Hamed. It's a complete nonsense what people say, over the hill my ass.

    I'd say Barrera I, quite easily.

    Then probably Morales II...... then JMM II (even though I felt he lost).

    Hatton will be somewhere in the top few.... but I'm reluctant to give him too much credit for the DLH win.

    Absolutely correct!:good

    Bunch of partizan little gf ****s are allways trying to discredit various fighters in someway. Bunch of ****ing cheerleaders!

    MAB was his best win, he dominated a legitimate atg who wasn't that far from his prime.
