    Actually old sniffer is right there isn't much difference between them
    Neither are LEGITMATELY unbeaten
    Both are top grade Cherry pickers
    Plus both are basically cowards

    As for either being ATG's?? Don't make me laugh

    Both are undefeated, both are featherfisted against any A and B-level opponents.

    So yeah it's comparable in some ways

    It would appear ATG boxing poster calzaghethecoward has also joined Joe into retirement.

    For years he owned every Calzaghe video. His knowledge was deep. Pure and deep

    CJ you're calling Pacquiao a cherry picker for Mosley, DLH, Cotto, Algieri, Rios, Hatton, Margarito if you're claiming Mayweather is one, can't have it only one way.

    Yeah, I'd say they are comparable. So is Ricardo Lopez and Rocky Marciano if you want to go there.

    For all the hate Floyd gets (much of it deserved) and as much as his groupies overrated him.... this is an ABSURD comparison.

    P4P Sloppy Joe was never ever on the same level as Floyd.

    And he wouldn't have been undefeated had he fought Hop, and Roy in their primes.

    He is well known in Europe, Western Europe. Before I started following boxing I had no idea who Hopkins or Roy were :lol:

    Algieri and Rios were definite cherry picks and Pacquiao should have never fought two guys that far beneath his level, but I think the victories over common opponents of Floyd's reflects better on Pacquiao's legacy just because of how much smaller than Floyd he was. It's like I'd have more respect for Saul Avarez defeating Carl Froch in a fight than I would for Andre Ward doing the same thing. Or maybe it would be like GGG and Ward both beating Kovalev or something. It's just harder for the smaller guy.
