    Through out both men career, from a skill perspective I always believed Floyd was the better fighter. All was proven when both men finally met in the ring. As of right now I have Floyd above Pac on the ATG list. Pac says he has three or four more fights left before throwing in the towel. What if he decided to fight four top dogs, and beat all four before retiring. I believe this might be enough to edge Floyd slightly on the ATG list. I know Floyd has broke many records and retired with a 0, but for Pac to retire with knocking off the top four fighters in weight class, or a top welter weight would be impressive compared to Floyd last fight into retirement.

    Pac's legacy is what it is at this point.

    Pac is already greater. H2H he isn't but he's accomplished more in more impressive fashion. He over came odds and made a name for himself. His legacy is greater, no matter how many times he loses to Floyd.

    Resume wise PAC wins. Prime for prime H2H PAC also wins.

    Okay, but one guy was issued a free pass for doping... a free pass for doing something that someone else was suspended for by the same agency.

    Floyd was clearly doping for the fight. So did he really beat him? Because many argue that Margarito didn't really beat Cotto in their first fight.

    The general consensus is that Pacquiao is the greater fighter. He's had better wins and greater moments. There just isn't a way to ignore that.

    People tend to confuse greatness with H2H. They're not the same.

    Nowhere near Floyd's, he will never reach that status. Sorry.

    He's not top 100 for me, Floyd is near top 5.

    I still believe in my mind that this guy is a mod. Just trying to increase traffic.

    Floyd could be the greatest of all time by the time he fully retires and history looks back.

    Pacquiao will NEVER ever reach that status!!!
