Floyd's 50-0 ~vs~ Manny's 8 Divisions

I was making the point that losses don't automatically disqualify someone from being the GOAT.

 

Damn you have the energy to kill this dude and all his hooky's on every given thread, you must be exhausted.

 

People forget how Pac vs PBF was considered a fantasy matchup that was a pipe dream because of the size difference until Pac started moving up the weight classes. Same with fights like Pac vs Hatton, Cotto, Oscar. Pac fought guys he was never supposed to step into the ring with.

 

Exactly wasn't even suppose to be in that weight class at all but stayed in there & did better than his contemporary in almost every way expect for ducking below the waist and running for dear life even when he was the smallest man in reach, height, etc.

 

Hatton was competitive with Floyd?

Um, not really.

 

Competitive. Not close. Plus Hatton was fighting 2 dudes in the ring.

 

It wasn't really competitive either. Floyd won most of the rounds, and was beating Hatton on the inside even without Cortez.

 

This is a very good fair point when people evaluate in that the starting point wasn't the same

 

But Mayweather beat Pac

 

Pac was injured and Floyd juiced.

 

Floyds 50, he beat so many good fighters . He was almost 40 years old when he beat Pacquiao

 

It was competitive. Don't Stan so hard.

 

I wouldn't even call it 8 weight because that title fight against Margo was BS, dude wasn't even ranked at that weight to begin with.

Having said all of that Pac's 5 weight lineal is where its at, better than Floyd's 50-0 imo.
Floyd the better boxer though, Pac would be judged better by history.

 

I have them at 14 (Floyd) and 15 (Pac) all-time .

I could easily reverse the order, or, with the passage of time , move one or other or both, a bit further up.

It depends what you're looking for and what you put value on.

Both at their very best , 2010, I think Pac might have edged Floyd, and I think that's why it never happened.

 

If pac was injured thats on him shouldn't have fought he robbed us all
