They are not the same weight. But judging by the quality of opposition and the span of weight they fought, I would say, Pac rates higher.
Manny Pacquaio's legacy rates far higher than Floyd Mayweather jr's Don't forget Manny was voted fighter of the decade and Floyd "RETIRED" to avoid having to take dangerous fights All this fight will prove is, that's if its a fair & above board contest, who is the best man on May 2 not who is P4P atg best. Manny's legacy has already outshone Floyd's he ranks higher Win or lose Manny >>>>>>>>>> Floyd
This is as easy as it gets. PacMan hands down. When it mattered most, Fraud Runawayther either retired or ducked. It's that simple. He has no one to blame but himself. End of story.
Floyd has to be higher. You can't be the consensus #1 fighter of your generation and be ranked behind anyone in your generation. Anyway you look at it, Floyd has to rank above him. Even more so if he wins this fight,
Ali fought Liston twice Frazier three times Norton three times and Foreman . That is three quarters of Floyds fights in the last tens years . Ray Leonard Fought Hagler Hearns Duran Benitez Ayub Kalule. Oscar Dela Hoya Fought Felix Trinidad Shane Mosely Ike Quartey Bernard Hopkins . These fights were when both fighters were near there peaks . How hard is it to understand why Floyd does not rate anywhere near the top?
