Just another way of looking at it.

[miron_lang]

in 2008 Manny Pacquiao fought as a Welterweight and at the end of that year he was Ranked by RING Magazine at #5. here's the complete Rankings

1. Antonio Margarito
2. Miguel Angel Cotto
3. Shane Mosley
4. Joshua Clottey
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Carlos Quintana
7. Zab Judah
8. Luis Collazo
9. Andre Berto
10. Isaac Hlatshwayo

The Ring Magazine's Annual Ratings: Welterweight--2000s - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia

Since that time :

Cotto and Clottey(Before 2008 ) lost to Margarito
Margarito lost to Shane Mosley
Shane Mosley lost to Miguel Cotto


* Would it be great if these 4 fighters didnt lose prior to facing Pacquiao? Well its not possible....They fought each other and somebody will lose or even get KTFO.

so since the money fight againts Hatton Pac has beaten all the TOP 4 Welterweights since he entered the division and he arguably did not lose a single round in doing it.


Just to illustrate that Fighters doesn't become bums when/if they lose.

1. Duran was KTFO by Thomas Hearns but came back and win a Middleweight belt againts Barkley

2. Hearns was KTFO by Hagler but came back and won multiple titles

3. Leonard lost to Duran but came back and won multiple championships

4. Barrera, Morales and Marquez were beaten before but came back and win championships

5. Evander was beaten by Moorer and KTFO by Bowe. Came back and KTFO Tyson

6. Hopkins lost to Jones came back and be #1 P4P

7. Pac got kayoed twice and became #1 P4P

8. Ali lost to Frazier came back

9. Foreman lost came back

10. etc etc etc
