    For light welter or welterweights today. What would you consider a bigger achievement? Defeating 2010 pacquiao or defeating 2010 mayweather?

    I ask because the majority of esb has pac higher atg wise. I wonder if that is reflected in this poll. I suspect this will be a lot closer

    Depeniding on how he looks against Ortiz, I would say Mayweather. whoever beats him must be good. But Pac currently looks unbeatable but I think he is slowing down a bit.

    Manny has lost. If you beat Manny you beat an atg. If you beat Floyd, you beat an atg and take his 0. Along with taking his 0 you take his ego as well.

    Everyone wants a W over Mayweather. Every boxer wants to be called the man who made Floyd's only L.

    ...and the boxer who fights Floyd gets $$$.


    If you want to defeat pac, you have to earn broken ribs, broken nose, broken eyesocket, though you can have big retirement money. at least you beat pac:good

    Mayweather.
    1. Hasn't lost, no blueprint etc...
    2. Harder to beat. Defensive wizard.

    A W over Mayweather would be one of the very best in the history of the game.

    Both got their gift decisions, but then almost every great has. At this point, I'd say Floyd.

    Getting them both in the same ring is the only actual achievement imo.

    pac has exceeded expectations already - beating bigger men and knocking them out- if someone were to beat him at welter- it wouldnt hurt him one bit- seeing as he s a blown up lightweight- who fights with flair, excitement and all.

    floyd hasnt lost, people pay to see him lose, and he has a style that is difficult as hell to crack- people may not admire it- but u gotta respect it- he does what he needs to to win. beating him would make a fighter a superstar- the way tarver did after he beat roy. people thought roy was superman at one stage. beating roy- got tarver movies, money and he s still a name- despite being so so since.

    Beating Pacquiao at WW is a better achievement as he has better resume at WW compare to Floyd. Pacquiao performance at WW is also more impressive.

    Beating Floyd would be a bigger achievement because people have been waiting for him to be beaten. Duh
