Well let me see what the hell you talking about Floyd has more lineal titles and you claimed you know more. Pac is a 8 divisions champ Pac is a 4 lineal divisions champ - flyweight, featherweight, super featherweight , junior welterweight. Pac is Fighter of the Decade Floyd is a ? divisions champ Floyd is a ? lineal divisions champ Floyd is Fighter of the ??? Floyd & Pacquiao from 2008-2012 Floyd 2012 - Cotto 2011 - Ortiz 2010 - Mosley 2009 - Marquez 2008 - retired Pacquiao 2012 - Bradley 2011 - Marquez, Mosley 2010 - Margarito, Clottey 2009 - Cotto, Hatton 2008 - Oscar, Diaz, Marquez Floyd 4 fights in 5 years < Pacquiao 10 fights in 5 years LMAO not even close.
I hope you answer this question honestly bro. In recorded boxing history past and present tell us these former or currently 106 pro boxers you know could beat Pacquiao opponents by the time he fought them. Sasakul 112 Ledwaba 122 Barrera 126 Marquez 130 Morales 130 Diaz 135 Hatton 140 Oscar 147 Cotto 145 Mosley 147 Margarito 150
This is my favourite post in this whole thread. Most guys achieved their status in the lower weight divisions. Floyd however edges Pac here and doesn't have all that catchweight/leftover/coming-off-loss stuff to hurt his resume.
In terms of actual ability, Floyd is probably top 10. His resume is what lets his legacy down a bit, even though its still pretty good. RJJ would be in the same category.
Yea, you definitely dont know what lineal means. Every belt has a lineage going back to the begining of boxing. Being a lineal champ means: you beat the guy, who beat the guy, who beat the guy, etc. (the guy being the LEGITIMATE champion at that time.) The number of fights each fighter has fought in a specific time period has nothing to do with this. And yes, Mayweather is STILL the LINEAR welterweight champ... BECAUSE he was the last guy to beat the LEGITIMATE ww champion, and of course no one has beaten him.
