    I don't dislike Max as much as many do. I listen to his radio show from time to time and my take on him is that he loves boxing but can't commit enough time to the sport to be as good an ****yst as he should be in order to represent boxing properly.

    Personally, I have Floyd ahead of Manny for now. If Manny wins that may flip because a lot of Floyd's legacy is wrapped up in his 0.

    Discuss.

    Manny is rightly ahead of Floyd, but don't believe that's Kellerman's true opinion, he works for HBO.

    Well he is the same guy that tried to tell us Glass Jaw Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier :lol::rofl

    Kellerman is an unqualified buffoon.

    Interesting. I would be curious to hear his rationale for ranking Pac higher. I personally have Mayweather somewhere about thirty or so and Pac a little ways behind. If Floyd wins, his ranking doesn't change in my eyes but if Pac wins, he moves up probably past Floyd.

    None of those 'catchweight' wins hold any merit. They simply do not count.

    Kellerman's rationale was the 'eye-test'. That Pac was more dominant and devastating in his prime against tougher competition.

    But they do, catchweights are prevalent throughout boxing history.

    If you're going down that road Mayweather v Marquez and Alvarez didn't happen.

    Mannys career has clearly been superior to Floyd... the gap in level of opposition is gigantic.
    The only thing that pulls them somewhat close is Manny having taken some losses but that is to be expected if you fight that many hard fights.

    You need to be the most delusional floydhugger to have him ahead.

    Did u give him a chance v de la Hoya ?
    No one did,he stepped up and win regardless of weight,it was seen as suicide.he took on margarito who towered him,weighed over a stone and a half more.would floyd fight him ??
    No
    Did manny and annihilate him in the process ?
    Yes
    Greatness is pushing yourself to the limit and over coming adversity.floyd has ruined his legacy by staying in the comfort zone.
    Let's face it floyd is naturally at least one weight division higher than pac anyway so if floyd wins its no big surprise he has all the advantages,if pac wins he has yet again triumphed over adversity and with that win he would have to be ranked top 5 atg with everything else he's achieved,he's already top 10 imo

    I'm not a 'delusional Floydhugger'. I'm a fan of both men. There's something to be said for not taking any losses though.
