    Saying that Manny's resume dumps all over Floyd's is not hating on Mayweather. It's the god's honest truth. Pacquiao has simply fought better opposition by a landslide.

    Torrecampo, Singsurat, and Hussein tip the cap for me. Pac resume hs more guys who knocked Pac out than Floyds been down in the ring. Wait, has Floyd been down? Pac up 3-0 lol.

    Very close, but I give the edge to Pac.

    Unlike many people here though, I give Floyd a lot of props for taking on Judah, who I believe was close to his very best form when he fought Floyd.

    Also undefeated Alvarez is just as good as the undefeated Bradley.

    Pac's win over Barrera the 1st time was really huge. Barrera was prime then, period. I am done arguing about this, and had no doubt that Barrera was prime when he fought Pac. Just watch his fights just before and after the 1st Pac fight. Nuff said.

    Also the 2nd Morales fight, Erik may not be prime but he is no way shot. Pac also fought Margarito.

    So slight edge for Pac in terms of competition.

    What losses? These a myths put foward by Floyd fans. They act like any loss is the last fight.

    MAB was on an 8 fight winning streak.

    Cotto was coming off of 2 big wins.

    Cotto was coming off a beat down by Tony another fight people think he lost to Clottey and had no trainer and dealing with his uncle's death, Morales on a 7 fight losing streak ect... Stuff like that matter's or at least it matters when judging Floyd's resume. Outside of MAB I, every opponent you can name were coming off some type of ass whipping combined with a sh"tty showing. And the guy's who weren't he lost to like Marquez and Bradley.

    Shut the **** up you human piece of ****. Cotto had just won the WW belt. He had already rebounded from the Margarito loss. And Morallas losses are mainly against MAB and Manny.

    Manny is fighting guys who are rated simply for beating him, neither JMM or Bradley were ranked going into there fight's with Pac. Even then JMM has 1 WW win and Bradley could easily have no WW wins. People talk about comp Maidana, Guerrero I'd bet on going 4-1/3-2 vs Bradley's WW resume(Provo,JMM,Pac,Chavez) which is essentially what Bradley did. Mayweather has fought nothing but Top rated Champs since Mosley.

    Floyd's fought nothing but champions, former champions, and top 10 contenders since he fought G. Hernandez back in 1998.

    This is delusion at it best, and lacks any real boxing knowledge.. Jab Alone is better then anything Bradly had accomplished and with better names on his resume.

    Castillio is another fighter that is better then anything Bradly has accomplished and was #4 p4p.

    Bradley wasn't that well-known going into the first Pacquiao fight.

    Being well known has nothing to do with it! That fact that Bradly had not accomplished himself as a 140 pound fighter.. The only real names on bradly resume that stood out was Holt, petterson, and Alexander, other then that there was nothing major, this was hardly p4p material.

    Ill go as far as to say the Corralles had done more in his career at that time that bradly had.
