    If you had to pick a signature victory out of Manny's many victories, which would you pick?

    I'm hovering between Cotto and Thurman for myself.

    Barrera that's what made the boxing fans stand up and take notice of Pacquiao, he dominated a great fighter very close to his prime who was top 3 P4P fighter at that time.

    And it's also the first time Pacquiao become a top 10 P4P fighter, so it's the most significant win for me and it put his name on map.

    Was Barrera a good victory? He had a metal plate in his head, man.

    Cotto fight was beautiful and the lead up was spectacular. Felt like a huge deal.

    Hatton for me. Outclassed Hatton and made him look awful . Made easy work of a very good fighter.

    I’d say the Cotto fight. THAT Pacquiao was an All Time Top Five H2H fighter PFP.

    Was the Barrera fight that put him in the spotlight and everyone's radar. And he decimated a top fighter in that win. And the Cotto win showed just how dangerous and great he was.
