    Yes, I agree. Certainly not the most accomplished in 25 years. That's Pacquiao by far. But yes he is a great and you can pick holes in any fighter. However, the holes here when inspected are supermassive blackholes.

    I agree about pac being the more accomplished fighter. You did a great job addressing all the fighters he has faced, albeit with a negative angle lol.
    But you forgot to address some fighters. that he miss along the way, also decided to retires when things get hot. The short retirement period also create a suspicion in the era of PED.

    He needed to prove he could pass a VADA test and fight outside the corrupt NSAC who allowed him to juice

    Pac got knocked out 3 times. That's the clear difference between Floyd and Manny. 3 times and even knocked unconsciou for 4 minutes. Floyd > Pac tenfold.

    No... those are ****ing facts what I stated, and yes I answered the thread perfectly, because by stating he never reached for greatness, you have to be alluding to him ducking fighters in their prime, which is the same excuse his haters seem to always have when judging his greatness in the sport..."He never beat an Elite fighter in his prime!" GTFOH... I just busted your ****...NEXT!

    Head to head money is better than manny. However in terms of accomplishments it is debatable who is greater. I don't have problem if you say money, but I don't think it is as clear cut as you suggested. Normally the greatness is judged by the height and not by the low, and pac height is arguably higher being a 8 division champion and also own win over 2 ATG in Barrera and morales in their prime weight.
    You wouldn't suggest calzaghe is greater Hopkins or Tarver is greater than jones right?

    Why would he be afraid of a guy that he would have not even lost 1 round to?

    I don't recall ever saying Barrera would beat Floyd. Who cares if Floyd hasn't been KO'd. Fighters greater (and better) than both have.

    Far greater than Pacquiao.

    Not close

    Pacquiao doesn't rate in the top 150 on most aficionados lists!!!

    Barrera would have gotten picked apart and embarrased at 130 pounds. Barrera is an ATG fighter don't get me wrong, but For anybody to think Barrera or Morales could be even remotely competitive against the 130 pound Floyd, then that person shouldn't be taken seriously.

    Barrera is NOT an ATG level fighter, he's at most hof. He hasn't done nearly enough, he's also extremely overrated

    A borderline HOF might I add

    Honestly, it's a good thing Floyd went after the lineal champion Baldomir at that time instead of fighting that fraud, because there's no doubt in my mind Margarito would have been plastered up for sure....
