    I think it's very safe to say Floyd and Sweet Pea are far better than their "rivals"

    The question is - which duo had the greater gap in ability?

    #1 vs #2 p4p in their eras

    Floyd Mayweather, Jr 118-110 Manny Pacquiao

    Sweet Pea 117-111 Julio Cesar Chavez Sr

    Pacquiaos rivals were Barrera, Morales and JMM.

    Floyd's rival was Castillo.

    It's really hard to say.

    Both were schooled. Really tough question but #48 was never on PBF's level it was easy work the gap in skills was much greater at least with JCC he could cut off the ring and went to the body could fight at more ranges and had a good ring IQ.

    I don't think Manny was humiliated at all.
