I know Mayweather beat Hatton, but depending on how Pac hypothetically beats him I could very well find Pac's victory more impressive than PBF's given where Pac started.
It's a debatable subject though.
Floyd started at low weights and worked his way up to bro... Did it before pac..
No matter what he beat a younger fresher Hatton by Ko, although he didnt KO Delahoya he fought a comfortable 154 version giving up every advantage weight, gloves, ring size etc..

Im to tired to look up the rest
Pacs only prime superstar fighter on his resume is Barrera and I give him full credit for the demolishon.. he got beat by a Prime Morales, beat a faded Morales, then a shot Morales.. Drew with JMM and got a gift from God in the 2nd fight with JMM
I can't really be bothered to try and defend Pac's resume really, his fans just piss me off too much. However, if not for a judging error, he would hold two wins over a prime JMM, a better fighter than anyone Mayweather has ever faced. He absolutely schooled Barrera, another fighter who will go down as an all-time great. He lost a close UD to Morales, and then proceed to beat him twice (though I can only really give him a lot of credit for the first victory). The best fighters on Pac's resume are simply better, in my opinion, than the best on Mayweathers. I actually think Mayweather is a far superior fighter, but Pac has fought better opposition, albiet losing to and struggling with some, but I prefer that to an unblemished record.
As for where they started, PBF started at what, 130? Pac started at 106 (I believe), and climbing to 140/147 - without being driven there because of weight issues - (and emerging victorious, which my statement was predicated upon) is an amazing accomplishment.
