Morales at his prime was P4P number top 3 easily.
First, Manny (still approaching his prime) is P4P top 3 easily now, so even if this were true it wouldn't make your point that "a prime EM would easily sweep away pacman." Second, RJJ, B-Hop, James Toney and Barrera (and arguably Holyfield) were all better than EM during EM's prime.
