I think we are all priveliged to be witnessing 2 of the very best of all time!!

I still feel we need to see a couple more top fights for each, but looking around it looks like there is only one fight available that will increase their all time reputation -each other!

I still look through PBF's fight record and there isn't anyone on there I look at and think was either in peak condition or peak of their game, e.g:

All his big named wins have shadows around them. Gatti (past it), De la Hoya (past it), Hatton (not in peak), Marquez (weight issue/ difference)

But there is no doubt he does look great when he fights, especially the last fight. But I'd like to see him sticking that undefeated record on the line more against genuine tought challengers

You could also say most of Manny Pacquiao's best wins, have shadows around them.

Erik Morales = Too many wars caught up to him, plus he had just got embarrassed by Zahir Raheem.

MAB = MAB had personal troubles outside the ring in the 1st fight, and in the rematch he was shot.

Ricky Hatton = Well you could say Manny Pacquiao, beat Ricky Hatton at his own weightclass. But he has for certain been on the slide for a few years.

Oscar Larios = Moved up 2 weightclasses to fight Manny Pacquiao.

ODLH = Weight drained mess.

Miguel Cotto = You could say he isn't the same since the Antonio Margarito fight, although i don't believe that.

You could nit-pick any record.

Yeah definatley agree with you.

I was kind of refering to the older generation of boxers and the quality of opponent they fought compared with now. Fight records littered with top fighters, not just 2 or 3.

Thats why for me that fight from Manny was a good one, fighting one of the best in the world in his peak. Despite losing, I still thought Cotto looked like he could have beaten most other fighters. It was a genuine test for Manny.

Can't take anything away from Floyd and the Hatton fight really, Hatton was still undefeated after all.
