What a shock that the guy who calls himself floyd_g.o.a.t. picked Mayweather lol anyway i abstain from voting since i believe that a generation should be all finished fighting before you can say who was the best among them. If you ask me who do i expect to end up as the greatest of the bunch when it's all said and done, i have to say that i agree with him though, i think Floyd edges out the rest.
Probably Mayweather or Roy Jones WOULD have been , but when you select opponents like a hausfrau selects tomatos at the market, the final consensus isn't clear. So , I voted for Paquaio.
2005-2010... 126-147 pounds: Manny Pacquiao (just missing it: Mayweather) 154-175 pounds: Bernard Hopkins (just missing: Dawson, Williams) +175: Wladimir Klitschko
this is a tough one depending on how you break it down... i think it's tough to make an argument for manny having better skills than mayweather. but manny i feel is a better boxer and fighter overall. his resume is a part but also if you pit them both against the best ever from 130-147, i think mayweather takes more loses\
On ability PBF and RJJ. The catch weight king has an army of *******s so he will win this poll, with ease.
****ing right! look how manny made a catch weight fight with marquez and then even came OVER that weight. what a little *******...wait, what, that was MAYWEATHER? oh ****...

Mayweather is all about potential...he could have been, should have been, would have been...but his unwillingness to test himself amongst the best hurts him badly. No way in hell Floyd beats Pac in this argument. And if you just look at skills and not who they are fighting, I say I put Roy Jones Jr. ahead of Floyd anyway. So either way, potential skills or resume wise, somebody beats Floyd.
Pac does it to evry one , DLH looked dead , Pac wates for floyd to beat people down then makes them loose weight so he can have a go.
better boxer overall ? No way is manny the better boxer than floyd, when mayweather boxes he clarifies the true meaning of the sweet science and is one of the very few boxers who can do that today. As much as the HBO team criticise him, after every fight and all the talking stops, they have nothing but praise and admiration for him, because they appreciate the boxing clinic he produces fight after fight. Of course pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers P4P but i believe floyd if superior and will prove it in the ring, IF they ever meet, which I'm sure 1 day they will !
