No, I don't think he does. I would argue that Pacquiao's last three victories (Hatton, Cotto, Clottey [assuming he beats Clottey without controversy]) are more impressive than Marquez (the blown-up version Mayweather fought) and Mosley. Pacquiao dominated Hatton and Cotto and if he does the same to Clottey I don't think there is anyway I could argue that Mayweather deserves to be above him on a P4P list. That being said, I do think Mayweather is a better fighter, but his recent resume is lacking.


i disagree. Clottey is just another slow moving, straight up fighter who comes forward, rarely throws combinations, has little head movement and takes a lot of punches. He is in the same mold of Cotto and Hatton, but not as good as those two. Beating Clottey will be no big feat for MP.

While I certainly appreciate the devastating way Manny disposed of Hatton and Cotto, the fact remains that these 2 guys were damaged goods and were TAILOR MADE for MP!! Arum would never have it any other way for his cash cow. And, as others have pointed out-these last 2 wins may very well be suspect.

Mosely and FM are fighters of a different class. They know how to box and Manny has always had trouble with boxers who move, use the ring, slip punches and counter.

I'm convinced that Arum was the one who got scared and backed out of the Mayweather fight. Even Roach wasn't confident that he could prepare MP in such a short time to fight someone like Floyd. And, Arum clearly showed that he didn't want any part of Shane who was begging him for a fight and was willing to do that a much lower weight than 147.
