    I immensely respect Floyd as I do Pac(and I'm a Pac fan) They both are virtuosos who excel at what they do and have two completely different approaches in the ring. It's mentally very difficult to fight Floyd because he's so crafty and hard to hit. The few punches he throws land on damaging targets like a surgeon's scalpel as he breaks you down piece by piece. He's also a more stern puncher than he gets credit like Graham suggests. That whipping snap he has on his punches and the accuracy is what does it. If Floyd has to he'll attack even of he's a far more effective counterpuncher. His offense is not to be underestimated and he can hang in any situation in a fight.

    Pac is an offensively built machine who also has gained much needed defensive wrinkles to his all out attack. He now uses angles, in and out movement and head movement to prevent from getting tagged as much. He can box if needed, but a boxing Pac is less effective than an attacking one. He mentally wears on you with high octane pressure from all sorts of confusing angles. This version of Pac today is also not to be underestimated as a counterpuncher.

    Pac right now deserves his status as P4P #1 because he took risks with the fights he took and excelled. Only after those fights did he get criticized...but beforehand his haters said he would get exposed or destroyed. Floyd has excelled in just about all his fights but for the most part at 147 the risk was simply not there. To any other fighter yes but not to one the calibre of Floyd who's boasts and abilities demand that he only be tested by the very best. Being undefeated only means so much if those wins were not against the best...not enough to be a high ranked ATG at 147. Criticism was very justified and the result is a reward for fans everywhere: he now will meet Sugar Shane in the ring at long last....and fight a true test of a welter.

    So who's better? Who can be considered fighter of the decade and greatest fighter of his generation? Fans of Floyd and Pac can't truly say who deserves those titles until they meet in the ring. For that distinction these two need each other.

    And how can you be objective with your irrational hate for PBF? The judge who scored the fight for Oscar gave him the 10th. But you call me blind? Be objective PBF clearly won the 10th and should have been awarded a UD win. That GBP judge was on the take and his card was bull****.

    On being called a runner, pot shotter, scared, a bum, or coward by fans:

    MARCUS RHODE: It doesn’t bother me because the simple fact is half these guys have never put the leather on, they have never been hit, never been nothing. It doesn’t bother me because all they can do is run their mouth because if they could get in the ring they would have gotten in there...

    Professional boxer paid millions of dollars of the fans money.
    He can get the **** out of the sport if he doesn't want to give them their money's worth.
