    which fighter, if they never fight each other, would be considered the better fighter of this generation? Would it be Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao. YOU MUST COMMENT AND NOT JUST VOTE. You must consider the whole body of work, common opponents, and the trajectory their career has taken through the years. Leaving all personal favoritism and hatred, please vote and comment. 1 vote requires 1 comment.

    At this point, not including possible future scalps, and ignoring 'what ifs' and 'maybe's'...Pacquiao.

    Easily Mayweather.

    I know Pac has more fans, and people want him to the superior fighter, but his catchweight bull**** is truly making his resume look laughable.

    Pacquiao by far... He made his etch when he had that saga against Morales, Marquez and Barrera. There's NO WAY in hell Mayweather could even come close to that... :hat

    Well currently I don't see many people rating Burley over Robinson

    Pac will be seen as the better fighter due to his more aggressive style but for me personally its Floyd

    Lets be honest ESB posters cannot be objective.

    No way a ******* changes a habit of a lifetime and says that Mayweather is better.

    Pac man has WAY more "fans" than Floyd so will win in almost every single poll.

    Anyway for what its worth it's Mayweather.

    History will always remember Floyd as a cherry picking ducker who avoided a fight with Pac. Lets not go into resumes.....lets not really go there......because they are like night and day.

    Pacquiao. The tie-breaker is the fact that he started his pro career as a flyweight and somehow rose to the top of welter before his career ended. Floyd will get his props, though.

    I agree because the fact that it is arguable now means that new fans years later can only reflect on what they will currently see......which will be Floyd's undefeated record. Sorry but it's true. My opinion is that Pacman has made a legacy at the lighter weights (no controversy back then) and has made a newer legacy at his current weight by flat out dominating his opponents and making p4p rankings albeit with some controversy, giving him the higher ranking.

    Better does not equal greater.

    Greater accomplishments + Resume, Pacquiao
    Better boxer, Mayweather

    It matters who you fight even if you lose and who you beat.

    Guys like Duran, Hagler, SRL, Ali, Frazier, Whitaker, Chavez, etc. are immortal because they fought the best win or lose.
