Hilarious. So, the guy who LOVES fighting is only fighting for money because he needs it... But the guy who doesn't love fighting fights to make money because he likes making money.
Don't know if I would agree with that. Mayweather beat Manny(in a fight that was years too late) and he dominated Canelo. Manny is more of a fan favorite and takes on more challenges but Mayweather is a very shrewd manager and has beaten all his challengers albeit he had advantages. Think Manny came up the harder way(no big time promoter backing him when he turned pro) and has had to work his way to the top.
The difference between Manny and Floyd is that Manny is addicted to fighting and Floyd is addicted to money.
they are both great fighters, but chalk and cheese on every level pretty much. however, what floyd does with his retirement after beating everyone, and how long pac cements his legacy by showing the type of longevity that i, for one, didnt think he would have due to his fighting style, has nothing to do with "levels".
Manny’s gain is not Floyd’s loss. Their greatness are independent of each other. Floyd beat Pac (albeit much closer than people would like to claim) so he’ll always have that over Pac, but it’s not the whole story. Both have done amazing things and I place them both top 10 all time.
Difference is Pacquaio is & always has been a FIGHTER!!! He fought to survive as a teen & everything he got he EARNED!!! While Floyd was mollycoddled from the start. Once he got to Vegas he let the Vegas mafia take over. He relied on the "help" he received so many times & the protection he got was so blatant. For me Pac >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Floyd & its not even close
