    Let's just put it this way. If Manny fought the same Sugar ''Money'' Mac who Floyd fought Manny takes another L home to add to his vast collection of them. The only zero's Floyd is familiar with are the numerous ones on the end of his paychecks.

    Manny definitely has the greater legacy, Floyd has never beat any atg's in their primes, Floyd will be remembered as a good businessman who ultimately chose money and health over his boxing legacy. Floyd could have fought Pacquiao, Mosley and Oscar in their primes he could have fought Sergio Martinez at 154, he could have fought Cotto and Margarito in their primes instead of retiring, he could have fought Thurman instead of Berto as well.

    Pacquiao has the better wins and better achievements in the sport for me its clear Pacquiao has the greater legacy

    Pac's win over Bradley post-Floyd was better than his win last night.

    I think Floyds fanbase is plenty large enough to sway polls.

    It’s a vocal minority here. Always has been.

    One was undefeated and only ever came close to losing twice (arguably did win one he shouldn't have), the other one is still proving to be an exciting fighter into his 40s. Why can't we just appreciate both fighters? 2 of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

    Floyd's legacy was under question the minute he went out after fighting Berto. Pacquiao continues to beat the best at 40 years old and do it in a style that doesn't put us all to sleep like Mayweather fights used to.
