    I think I understand what you are trying to say... however here is the difference:

    Manny Pacquiao doesn’t go to every single media outlet and say he’s better than Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. Manny doesn’t go around complaining that people don’t rate him high enough or whine that people are being unfair to him.

    Floyd does.

    You can’t say that you are the best ever, like Floyd says, when you abuse illegal IV’s, and cherry pick your career. That’s the difference and I promise you if Manny did that people would call him on it as well.

    Floyd wasn't making any money until he started saying things like that.

    You forgot Morales after coming in from a embarrassing defeat by Raheem, and Hatton coming from getting ktfo by Mayweather.

    Fought Thurman after he looked bad against journeyman Lopez

    Fought Marquez after he was dominated by mayweather

    Fought Margarito after he was obliterated by Mosley

    Fought Matthysse after he was KOd by Postol

    Fought Bradley after he saw Bradley couldn't crack an egg

    floyd clearly - clearly - deserves to be compared to the very best because he proved that he wasn't just the best boxer of his era, but comfortably the best boxer of his era.
    a lot of people love to hate floyd because he dismantled their favourite fighters, or because he flaunts himself as TBE, and so on.
    these people, you won't be able to reach because they feel emotionally invested in their dislike of him.

    Fought Thurman as an old man after he got KOed by JMM, and losses to Bradley, FMJ, Horn.
    Fought Marquez many times even after difficult outcomes.
    Fought Margarito at even more higher weight.
    Fought Matthysse as an old man after he got KOed by JMM, and losses to Bradley, FMJ, Horn.
    Fought Bradley two more times after he got KOed by JMM.

    But was already beaten by Collazo and Mayweather at 147, obviously he couldn't make 140 again healthy

    Mayweather liked picking cherries so much he should have been in agriculture.

    From my experience, the people who dislike Floyd dislike him because of his antics off the ring. The guy is a multiple time convicted woman beater. You can't really blame them for that. Especially if you take into account his style of boxing. He's a patient puncher during his boxing matches yet somehow can't control his fists when confronted by untrained females? It's justified to dislike him as a person.

    absolutely. i'm certainly not condoning his actions outside the ring.
    he'd be an insightful trainer but an awful role model.
