    Specifically Pacquiao fans.

    Since they currently have not fought, how do you rate Floyd Jr's skillset?

    Do you think he's better than Manny? Do you consider him p4p number 1, do you consider him an ATG?

    Try to answer without any insulting words such as Ducker, Gayweather, and Ellerbe.

    both 4 / 5

    for comparison, i would probably rate Khan 2/5 on skills and achievements.

    Floyd i have as #2 P4P, and of course ATG albeit a couple lower than Pac. i don't have a list of ATG as i have no idea on old boxers.

    I rate both Floyd and Manny amongst the best ever. Manny Pacquiao has been a champion from 106 lbs all the way up to 147. I consider him an all time great pound for pound fighter. Floyd, I also consider an all time great pound for pound fighter. He has dominant victories over some really good fighters such as Castillo, Hatton, Gatti, Corrales, and Delahoya. I think he can beat Pacquiao, but I think he needs the fight more for his legacy then Pacquiao does, because I truthfully feel his victories over Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, Oscar and many more have already cemented his place amongst the greatest of all time.

    I do not consider one better then the other, however I feel that Pacquiao has the better legacy amongst the two, but I think that Mayweather can beat pacquiao.

    Its what PBF hasn't done which hurts him. Pac has the better resume ten fold and history will recognise this.

    Floyd is technically one of the greatest fighters i have ever seen.

    He gets a 9.5/10 for technique.

    I just think his competition is not fitting of someone with such talent. Great fighter who took on weaker competition than he should have.

    Pacquiao is just epic. Not as skillful but fast, strong, hungry and has an exciting style. Not only that but he has challenged himself constantly in his career.

    I AM STARTING TO HATE BOTH FIGHTERS NOW THOUGH. IF THEY CANT COME TO TERMS THAN I JUST WANT THEM TO F**K OFF.

    Floyd has the style,dedication, skills and worth ethic to be up there with the greatest ever. Floyd would have easily beat most.

    Cheers

    Lets not start the whole resume argument that will span 20 pages, I just want to know how people rate his skills / him as a fighter

    Gander Tasco also I'd be particularly interested in hearing from
