    Did you guys enjoy him in the early part of his career or the second half of it?

    Pretty was vicious and had a mean streak. He was fighting in his natural weight class so he went for the kill rather than safety first.

    If those two met in a 12 round fight the result would be a draw or double DQ. Because all they both would be doing is running backwards around the ring. Not a meaningful punch scored

    Money Mayweather.

    Pretty Boy hadn't yet heard of Manny Pacquiao.

    Personally it's hard for me to choose myself. The defense wizardry and counter punching in the later part of his career was special but man PBF was a killer who seem to be the complete package as a fighter.

    PBF was generally more fun to watch. The difference gets a little exaggerated though. Floyd always adapted to the opponent and situation, he had his dull fights as PBF and below 147 as well, and had some fights later on when he threw more combos, or walked guys down behind a high guard.

    Alls I know is, Money would have dragged Pretty Boy up two weight classes and then cheated him on the scales, IV bags, crooked Vegas judges, huge ring, can’t wear your own gloves, Kenny “If you hit Floyd it’s a foul” Bayless and everything. The whole treatment.

    Guy goes 50-0 and his doe-eyed groupies think he can invent a time machine to travel back in time to fight himself. SMFH.

    Void's first career was a good one, although he lost to Castillo, but he was a con in the second half.............

    He goes 0-3 against prime versions of Ray, Benny, and Ellerbe.
