    Ugh. Not this thread again.

    If they ever meet in the boxing ring, Floyd will be the superior boxer.
    That is beyond question -- at least at this point.
    The only time that Manny was a genuine threat to Floyd was when he demolished Cotto.
    After that, Manny has shown some decline and after that KO loss to JMM, who knows where he is right now?

    Strictly speaking of their resumes, FMJ has nothing close to Barrera x2.
    Pacquiao's legacy is leagues above FMJ as of now, the only real path that I can imagine for FMJ to take to eclipse that of Pac's was Sergio -> Pacquiao.
    But both fighters are not that much relevant now so for all intents and purposes, FMJ missed his chance of having the better legacy than Pac.
    He dug his hole deeper when he decided to take on Ortiz and Guerrero.

    So we can talk about the title he won at flyweight but not his losses at flyweight.

    And say he is an 8-division champion despite 145 and 150 not being divisions.

    And ***** about Floyd fighting Canelo at 152 but not Pacquiao fighting Cotto and Margarito at 145 and 150.

    And call Floyd's opposition poor when he fights the undefeated man at 154 while Pacquiao is dragging up a guy coming off a loss from 140.

    And say Castillo was robbed once when Marquez was robbed 3 times. Floyd beat Castillo decisively in the rematch while Pacquiao kept getting owned by Marquez until he finally got knocked out.

    Floyd is better in skill, resume, and legacy. Deal with it *******s.

    Floyd is the best this era period of the two

    Legacy wise there is a solid argument for both to be ahead the other i honestly think legacy wise they are closer than some believe.

    could not agree more...the **** pac gets here is beyond mind boggling
    but this forum has slowly been degenerating into farce when it comes to
    sensible discussion. Fighters are either shot to **** or all time greats ???

    is there really nothing in between.....fighters lose at some point we cant forget what an amazing run pac went on. despite marquez great performances against pacman there is not a prayer he could have done what pacman achieved moving through the weights....

    Hard to say yet.

    Maybe the next three guys Floyd faces all KHTFO. When they are fully retired we can make a proper analysis on their careers.

    Your as good as your last fight.
    And Pac will be remembered lying on the canvas after being knocked out cold by one punch.
    Thats unconcious, stiff as a board by JMM who lost every round against Floyd.

    Pac does not have a better resume than Floyd when you really look at it.
