At their respective points in their career Michael Nunn was way in his prime (though him abandoning Goosen and getting lazy with training started to show in some performances - but that's another discussion) whereas Pacquiao was gradually sliding out of his prime for years. That is not to say Mayweather Jr. beating him should be discredited (because it's a great win), but Nunn was more prime than was Pacquiao and was more skilled than was Pacquiao. Pacquiao has great skills, but in no where in his career was he on level skill wise w/Michael Nunn in his prime years between '86-'91

ricky hatton, canelo, and robert guerrero were p4p top 10 at one time (conveniently when floyd fights them).
think about that.
just because you were p4p top 10 (debatable really political awards like mvps to steve nash) doesnt mean your entire career is great.

He also easily could have lost against Sosa, Johnson, all 3 McCallum fights.
Then he actually did lose to Drake Thazdi, Montel Griffin twice and drew with Sanderline Williams.
What impressive victories does Toney have? Iran Barkley? Nunn I suppose considering he knocked him out after being well behind on the cards.
