    I guess I would say that Pac had a more full filling career than Floyd in the sense that he was the peoples champ and fought just about everybody people thought he should fight. On the other hand Mayweather fought everybody he needed to fight in order to put him closer to his goal. Mayweather didn't reach down, he always reached up. If you had a title, he was taking it. Pac didn't care so much. If the people wanted to see the fight, he would make it. As for skills, Mayweather got that hands down. Plus the fact that Pac is a Mayweather victim makes Floyd just a step ahead on the ATG list in my opinion.

    He done already called out Spence and you know Spence ain't turning that down. When that fight is finished, so is Pac. Unlike Thurman, Spence will be strong the entire fight and I think that he will stop Pac in the latter rounds. If by some miracle Pac wins, then I guess time will have told. lol.

    It's funny that you asked him this long elaborate question twice and he ignored them both just to go on small rants..lol

    Not sure if this is accurate. A guy who couldn't beat Ken Norton clearly in 3 fights is the greatest HW after all.

    Tough call really is. IMO Floyd just edges it.

    When are you gonna figure out that KO losses don't mean much over the course of a high-ranking ATG career?

    See Roberto Duran. He was hurt, stumbling around drunk, and being battered around like a rag doll before he was put down. Pac just walked into a roided missile.

    To excuse makers and apologist they don't but oh yeah they mean something alright. They must be held against the fighter if we are being fair.

    ROFLMAO You seem to forget when he showed up for GGG looking like a mini incredible hulk he was juiced to the gills plus Canelo's manager & trainer are BUTCHERS!! Whose business is Mexican Beef !! Do you think for one minute they'd have let Canelo eat any contaminated meat?? C'mon wise up. Canelo made the mistake he miss timed his tests he didnt think they would test him in Mexico he hadnt siphoned off & got caught Red Handed

    Pacquiao lifts the sport up. Mayweather more than anything pushes it down. That’s my perspective.
