    Pacquiao fought everyone and beat alot of great fighters in there prime, Floyd is undefeated and has taken the less punishment.

    Mayweather fought the best avalaible opponents who were coming off great wins. Only one fighter truly gave him a challanging fight and that was due to floyds injured shoulder (which he deserves cred for going ahead with the fight). Even now past prime still handily beating great fighters even outside of his natural weight


    Pacquiao had great wins bursting on the scene with a dominant win over barrera and redeemed his 2 ko losses early in his career by going on a rampage takin on and destroying alot of fighters through multiple weight divisions. I dont knock a fighter for loosing to an alltime great so the marquez loss (losses in my opinion) so he has had a great career. What i hate is how he did not speak out to arum and leave him to get the big fight made. Also his 154 title is meaningless....

    I have floyd ahead at this point quite clearly in my opinion and with pacquiaos recent losses and bad performances id say floyd is really starting to leave him in the dust.

    People have already forgotten about Pacquiao (not knocking him) Mayweather is a boxing name...not pacquiao. The way business is done in boxing is a result of mayweather, pacquiao may be referrenced when talking about getting screwed by promoters as a learning tool.

    more causuals like pacquiao more than mayweather so with them being casual, when its all said and done, the casuals wont be around

    Mayweather. I think even Marquez will be considered greater than Pac.

    Why is that? Where are your reasons? Why you mad?

    Its not being a *****, it's taking all factors into consideration and opining intelligently.

    Pac has the greater legacy Floyd is the better boxer. If you had Pacs balls and Mayweathrs ability you would have had the greatest boxer of all time

    Marquez resume doesn't hold a candle to Pacs. Just because you have the perfect style to beat one particular fighter in a decline, doesn't mean you inherit his resume. Marquez is a great fighter but he hasn't beaten many top quality guys besides pac.

    at 147 clearly Floyd is greater than Pac but overrall Pac is clearly better. Floyd's resume is underrated but I could name past ATGs who would do better against Floyd's opposition, I struggle to do so with Pac's resume.

    P4P rankings can be debated but IMO it's undisputed that with his likeable personality and ton of great fights, Pac would be the more loved figure and the quintessential boxing icon of the early 21th century era.

    Granted, I'd bet on Money if the two would ever fight.

    right now you have to lean more towards Floyd but if Pac ends his career on a high by beating Rios then beating the winner of JMM - Bradley by KO then i would say Pac.
