    Mayweather better, Pacquaio greater, probably.

    At 147 and 154, the weights at which Pac and May are connected, they fought mostly the same opponents except for Bradley, Clottey and Margarito. The difference is that Pac has lost two fights in a row. One to an ATG, Marquez, that was also clowned by Mayweather.

    Ducks are subjective. Losses are not (in Manny's case anyway).

    Sorry but they are subjective. A loss to some guy named Torrecampo is not.

    We're looking at his pro career not what you wish would disappear.

    No. You look at the career as a whole. Not just what you like - that includes wins and losses.

    How was that his fault? And how do you then explain Pacquiao fighting Mosley after Mayweather?

    If the question is who will be remembered? Then it has allready been answered. On this little poll, Floyd got double the votes. We are the people who will remember right? asked and answered!!!

    I Agree . Mayweather is more gifted fighter yet Manny is the more accomplished fighter .Floyd will always be held responsible (which he should) for Mayweather /Pacquiao not happening . That right there will always be a stain on his legacy .People are not going to forget that .


    Unfortunately , Manny too will always have a stain on his legacy as well for the many steroid allegations being made against him that nobody can prove .


    Despite having no proof , Over the past years many are still questioning his best wins . And it will most likely continue whenever his name is brought up .

    Most of Pacquiao's losses (if not all) occurred when he was a champ. Pretty stupid comparison.
