    He has been Ko'd by nobodys twice, he lost to EM 4 years ago, JMM came back from 3 first round knockdowns figured out manny's style and boxed to a draw (many people thinking marquez won that fight) .... so the question is Why is everyone saying that Pacquaio would definitly beat Mosley,Mayweather, Hatton,etc. ??

    Not Mosley or Mayweather. Just Hatton.

    Who?

    I think he can take Hatton but in my eyes Mosley and Mayweather "should" be able to beat him. Pac might have a chance in those fights but I honestly think he'll lose.

    So no, EVERYONE doesn't think he'll beat all 3 as you claim.

    Yes, although I'm on the fence about Mayweather.

    To answer op's question he was ko'd a long time ago. Morales fight is ancient history practically and Manny's style has rounded out now. Manny gets better and more complete with every fight and so when you picture him against others in his proper weight class he just comes out on top. BTW, that thing about first Marquez fight is also an earlier Manny. It's better to judge him by the second fight.

    Mosley?Mayweather?Nope.
    He has a lot of nuthuggers but those guys are irrelevant.
    Plus those losses came when he was a kid,like 10 years ago.Morales did beat him but got his ass kicked for his troubles later.

    I don't think Marquez even deserved a draw in their first fight, I had Pac winning by 2 or 3 and by 1 in the second fight but that could've easilly gone either way.

    no one thinks he is unbeatable, he is just too damn good, and a credit to the sport of boxing. involved in classics, willing to fight the best and take on challenges.

    mayweather and mosely would most likely beat him but you have to admire him as p4p champ to take those challenges.

    He was KO'd by nobodies years and years ago. It is not so relevent as his recent performances.

    Marquez and Pacquiao was a fight between two great fighters, there should not be a problem if the fight is close. Infact, this should be expected with the styles clash.

    "Everyone" is not saying he beats Mosley and Mayweather, and as far as I can see its a 50/50 split on Hatton.

    He's only beaten one elite prime fighter in JMM, and it was very contreversial, that many Phillipino media outlets had JMM the winner.

    Most people would take Mayweather and Mosley over Pac. Personally, I'm taking Hatton over Pac as well.

    barrera was prime and elite (p4p #3) when pac beat him in 2003. sasakul was also prime, a lineal champ (like barrera'03) and elite (p4p #10-12) when pac beat him at flyweight. now, if p4p #12-15 is also considered elite, then you can also add ledwaba to that list.

    pac does have a good chance to beat hatton. but as far as mosley and mayweather are concerned, pac will have little chance to beat them. he will be the overwhelming underdog in those fights.
