    You are too hard on Clottey.

    Yes he may not have been the most successful but still, you have eyes right?

    The guy looked like everything but **** against Margo or Baldo or Cotto.

    He certainly never was a "Walk in the park".

    Nobody wanted to face that guy after the Margarito fight.

    Floyd. Imo pacquiao hasn't had a good win against a top opponent ever. I can't even think of a time Manny clearly beat someone who wasn't past their prime and/or coming off a recent loss. I don't givea sh't about the Mosley, Marg, Clottey, Cotto, Hatton, or Oscar. All of those wins look good on paper but don't mean much when you look at the context of the fights. Freddy was afraid to fight Molsey before he looked awful. Marg didn't have the plaster anymore ad was coming off inactivity after a brutal loss and a lackluster win. Clottey beat the shell of Cotto(or should have I should say) and Cotto was a shell of his former self after that brutal brick beating he took. Hatton was coming off a bad loss to Floyd and some lackluster performances. He fired his trainers after that fight and, looking back, was probably coked out at the time. And in that fight, I saw Hatton rock Pac a few times before getting knocked out. Oscar was weight drained, and some may criticize tis excuse, but they guy had an IV in his arm before the fight and between rund to rehydrate. A strong breeze could have knocked Oscar down that night. The last really noteable opponent was Marquez, and Pac arguably lost that fight. The win I give pac the most credit for is Lebwada, and he isn't even all that great. Mayweather could ertainly use better opposition too, and I feel Ortiz is a step in the right direction, but I give him credit for his win over Hatton. People say Hatton was small but he was cutting from like 180 to get down to 140 so I would think it would be easier to make 147. Hatton was undefeated and didnthave all the turmoil in camp that he had leading up to the pac fight. I think looking at it now floyd's win over mosley doesn't mean as much as it did at the time, but he deserves credit for taking on mosley when most still considered him a threat, instead of waiting for him to look bad like pac did. And floyd's win over Oscar came at Oscar's natural weight AND with a smaller ring size which is a disadvantage for a mover like Floyd. Neither pac nor floyd deserve much credit for beating an aging marquez at 144 imo. Mayweather to me has very credible wins over Corrales, Baldomir, Castillo, Ndou(he actually went toe to toe with a KO artist and stopped him), Hernandez and others so for me he has the better legacy. I give pac some credit for the names on his resume, but I feel mayweather has fought better opposition.

    Manny does. Floyd can pass him if he doesn't keep taking vacations. Also Floyd would have won fighter of the decade if he didn't retire. How can you be fighter of the decade if you didn't fight the entire decade?

    Pac without a doubt. Floyd is the better fight though IMO.

    In terms of resume` there's no question Pac's is greater though not by a big margin. If you talk about ATG rankings Pac would **** Floyd's it's not even fair to compare. Pac beat the likes of Ledwaba Larios Barrera Marquez Morales Diaz who I think that time was 33-1 Oscar Hatton Cotto Margo Mosley and Clottey who's really a good fighter.... Floyd's notable opponents Genaro Hernandez Corrales Chavez Castillo Judah Oscar and Mosley. You can't count Hatton and JMM cause they're a total mismatch. Those two aren't even Welters....:hat
