    Now that the Pacquiao/Mayweather are on their way out and making way for a new era of boxing stars, as of now who do you think should be ranked higher along with the ATGs?

    IMO I still think Pacquiao has accomplished more and has done well with his career regardless of the results with the "fight of the century".

    floyd beat everybody including pac, almost never struggled

    pac lost , got decisioned , kd ,ko, ktfo and could never beat marquez decisively

    not difficult to rank floyd higher

    Floyd Landisweather has a question mark next to every single one of his wins now. But ignoring that:

    One fighter was fighter of the decade, the other took the more financially lucrative route. One fighter was accused of being on steroids for "being too damn good". The other was "cleaning up the sport" while having USADA in his back pocket and doing a whole list of shady things.

    The answer to the question is more obvious than it seems...

    Prime Morales, prime Barrera, prime Marquez at his weight class and at Marqeuz's absolute best. And even when he moved up in weight, as quickly as he did, there were no tune-up fights. Each time he moved up, he said, "Give me the best guy in the division," and regardless of the catchweights, Pac was the much smaller guy and usually not only dominated- but destroyed.

    Prime Pacquiao was a sight to behold, but I know arguments can be made for both.

    PBF ranks higher H2H win undefeated in 3 different decades champ in 5 different weight classes linear in 4 Linear at 2 weight classes at the same time. Arguably the best defensive fighter of all time best fighter of this era on the top 10 P4P lists since 1999 never knocked down in his career and only lost a handful of rounds in his prime. Ring Magazine already ranked him higher and that was even before they fought.

    I have to admit that the emboldened part made me laugh out loud. Exactly how long have you been following Pac?

    Pac never beat JMM

    He only beat shot Morales who he still had to drain (non drained past prime Morales in fact beat him)

    A better question would be who was the bigger fraud

    Pac has another level of greatness in the 126-130 class that was remarkable this is where he stacks up.

    As of now its floyd last year Pac and we just have to see how their career plays out,

    The biggest fraud of them all is JMM. He hired Memo Heredia and used PEDs down in Mexico and it's obvious that he did. A huge asterik on his entire career. Floyd is not far behind as he also hired/did some work with Memo Heredia and his scandalous history with USADA is surfacing.
