    I know this is asking a HELL of a lot, but can we please be OBJECTIVE here. leave any personal thoughts and agendas at the door. The poll is private so no-one will know if a floyd fan voted for pac, or vice versa.

    Lets try making this one a proper poll, not a popularity contest.

    Please vote for which of these wins is the best. And also give me your top 3 ranking of wins.

    Floyd v Hatton
    Floyd v Marquez
    Floyd v Mosley
    Floyd v Ortiz
    Pac v Cotto
    Pac v Clottey
    Pac v Margarito
    Pac v Mosley

    come on how can you say that?

    Mosley was on a high, confidence wise, coming off a schooling of Margarito.

    When pac got to him he was a year older, having his confidence drained by a floyd beatdown and a **** poor outing against Sergio Mora

    Floyds win over Mosley is much better than Pac's IMO.

    he also came from a very long lay off and a failed long camp for berto when an earthquake happened, then a new camp for Floyd.
    Its a good win but you cant say he was great vs floyd then completely shot 3 months later vs mora.

    Did you see his performance against Floyd? He was on a physical decline even before the Margo fight. Confidence? Can only do so much once your physically shot. Just ask Roy Jones. Floyd looked best against Ortiz. He was backing him up at times in that fight. But he ruined his chance to really shine by those cheap shots.

    And is this poll not public?

    he wasnt great vs floyd. but he was definitely a better version than the one pac faced. surely thats not even up for debate?

    Mosley is arguably pac's weakest win in years.

    Pac v Margarito/ Floyd v Shane/ Floyd v Hatton are quite close together imo. Pac's win over cotto is clearly the best

    yea in hindsight Mosley put on a **** poor showing after round 2. but going into the fight, people genuinely believed Mosley had a shot at winning. he was the recognized number 1 at welterweight. Floyd looked terrific against Ortiz, but it was ORTIZ. Surely Shane was more of a threat than Ortiz was? Besides floyd was himself coming off 1 fight in 2 and a half years (a 12 round public sparring v marquez)

    So in that case, de la Hoya would be Pac's biggest win then right?

    De la hoya is a very good win on pac's resume. thats for sure. for the same reasons.

    but i am inclined to think that being outclassed because your visibly drained isnt quite the same as being outclassed coz you fought horribly from round 3 onwards

    SHANE WAS RANKED HIGHER THAN ANYONE ON THAT LIST NOT NAMED JMM WHEN MOSLEY FOUGHT MAYWEATHER.

    Floyd-Shane ..Cotto-Pac is second imo. Great win for Pacquiao!

    But Shane was ranked 3 in the world AND MOST FANS SAID FLOYD WOULDNT DARE TOUCH THAT FIGHT...........WE KNOW THE REST.

    Both Oscar and Mosley were shot in those said circumstance. Like I said the Mosley that showed up for Floyd is the same as the one that showed up for Pac. That's my opinion on the matter.
