    Comparing what Pac an Floyd have done. To make out who was better is getting boring. They are both all time greats. They are the two best of this era. What always impressed me about them probably after both of them beat Oscar.

    They was the big money fight. So everyone they fought was highly motivated going in to the fight because a victory would change everything. Kind of like what happened in the fat Andy AJ first fight. The thing is Pac an Floyd where so great they dealt with that. I always liked Pac more I love the way he fights but I can appreciate an respect the skill of Floyd.

    They was different but they are both as great as each other. If a 41 year old Pac goes an puts a beating on Crawford tho. I wouldn’t have a problem with people calling him the GOAT. This moment in time I think they are both in the top 20 an not that far apart from each other.

    They were engaging series but no Floyd’s career more exciting to me. I don’t watch these fights as much as Floyd’s. The best of the series was the fights with Marquez who Pacquiao never mastered. I personally gave all the 4 fights to Marquez. With the controversy of the first 3 fights Marquez knew he had to knockout out Pacquiao to make sure of victory and he did. Great fighters great men.

    That shows a of bias considering JMM literally only eeked out a draw in the first fight due to the judge admitting he made a mistake.

    As for Pac's series with the 3 ATG's, you can pit that series against any fighter in history really. It's pretty insane really, a bit like Ali fighting Frazier, Foreman and Liston a combined 9 times.

    Floyd beating Canelo and Pac, 2 p4p 1's has got to be right up there as one of the best accomplishments of all time as well though. Anyone else done that?

    Yeah I felt Pac won the first 2 an lost the 3rd an obviously 4th to JMM. They are both great an they have both done great things in the ring. I find it strange that fans of either side like to put the other one down. We are lucky to have seen the pair of them and what they have done an archived.

    No not really Marquez arguably best Manny every time they fought and Morales was coming off a loss going into all 3 fights

    Ali fought The great smoking Joe Frazier 3 times and the outstanding Kenny Norton 3 times and destroyed Liston twice and literally took Foreman’s soul.

    Pacquiao never mastered Marquez and the results of the first 3 fights were disputable and we all know what happened in the 4th fight when Marquez our Pacquiao to sleep.

    As for Floyd record beating so many world champions to create a world record says it all really.
