The Overachieving Filipino Warrior or the Slick sometimes Fighter? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz7Gx_HmwfE[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwYYZBLyPqw[/ame]
is this even a question??? gotta say though mayweather-pacquiao threads are up there along wiith vitali-lewis threads in terms of sheer numbers...
Well, Pac is probably more respected given that he is the quiet, likeable fighter who has turned his career around and become one of the best P4P fighters of our modern era. Mayweather will always be derided because of his brash, arrogant and sometimes vulgar nature. Still, you can't knock his talent or skill. If they ever did fight, Mayweather would beat ac quite handily in my opinion.
i respect pacquiao more as a person because he comes across more humble than mayweather. but i think floyd is the superior boxer of the two, so i respect his skillset more than mannys.
Let's see; the racist loud-mouth? Or the guy who was elected to the House of Representatives in his native Philippines? Tough one..
Pacquiao hands down. Fighting Barrera/Morales/Marquez all these times alone made him a first ballot hall of famer. I'm not a fan of the factors involved with his fights as he moved up in weight, particularly the catchweights. But hes gone above and beyond.
Mosley was coming off a very good win. It's been reduced a bit, but still a very good win. He should have retired after Mayweather not before. Nice try though.
Don't like either as people, both irritating As fighters, respect Floyds ability, immense so got to be him Pac is overrated a bit (as can be seen in the Hamed vs Pac threads), has never beaten JMM for me, his catchweight fights are a bit tainted, and he always has the cloud of PED hanging over him.
