    Pac is still working on his legacy. It is premature to compare them.

    :good

    Oh! One more thing if PAC does not get KO by DLH on thier fight. I'm sure PAC will give INTERESTING fight than what PBF did to DLH.

    They hardly EXCHANGED blows. After all the Hype of two popular names the fight was close to a dull fight.

    Knowing PAC. He's an exciting boxer to watch!

    PBF:

    ODLH
    Corrales
    Hatton
    Castillo*2
    G. Hernandez
    J. Chavez
    Judah
    Gatti
    c. Hernandez
    Baldomir
    J. Chavez

    Undefeated. 6 time champion in 6 different weight divisions SFW-JMW.

    Pacman:

    ODLH
    Barrera*2
    Morales*2
    JMM
    Sasakul
    Ledwaba
    Larios
    D.Diaz

    Former Flyweight champion at age 19. 5 times world champion across 10 weight divisions. Beaten the 3 greatest fighters of his era around his weight class. The only man to win titles from Flyweight, FW & LW. Should he beat Hatton, add WW.

    PBF has the quantity but IMO Pac's top 4 wins definitely without a doubt trumps PBF top 4.


    I see this poll was held pre-ODLH. I wonder how they would look now. :)

    Haha, itd gotta be Pac now. Also PBF has ''retired'', while Manny is still adding to his legacy. I am completely sold on him.

    Pacquaio has the better names but has losses and controversal draws/win. But nearly all his best names were coming off losses:

    Morales 1 - lost to Barrera
    Morales 2 - lost to Raheem
    Morales 3 - by the end of the series was 1-5 in his last 6
    Marquez 2 (arguably lost)-lost to Chris John
    Delahoya - lost to FMJ

    Thats silly.

    His win over Morales in the 2nd fight I could give you.

    JMM was coming off wins over Juarez & Barrera.
    Hoya was coming off win over Frobes and SD loss to PBF is nothing to be ashamed of.

    Thats like saying DLH was coming off a loss to BHop when he fought PBF.

    Mayweather has a bit more contender names on his resume, is undefeated and has better skills.

    Pacman, on the other side, was flyweight champion at age 19, started his career at 105 and won a fight against De la Hoya at 147, has beat more all time greats.

    If Pacman gets one more big win, then he is clearly greater than Mayweather.
