    Joshua gets more traffic and buzz than George Foreman does on this board. And it's not even close. Does that mean that Foreman was a fad? And that Joshua is a legend? According to your logic that would be accurate.

    I'm sorry man, but you made a really bad post. It was really low caliber.

    I never mentioned the 8 division titles in the OP. Not even once.

    Absolute BS, Pacquiao's accomplishments and career stands on its own. How can someone say something like this with a straight face?

    Floyd could not exist as a boxer and Manny's career wouldn't have been any lesser for it.

    If you want to believe Mayweather is better than Manny prime-for-prime overall, then go ahead - who can reasonably condemn you?
    What I like about Floyd is that he cares about winning, in whatever way the rules allow him to when talking in-ring. This is a quality I can't really find anywhere. He'll utilise dirty fighting, clinching, pot-shotting, running, on top of his tools.

    But you have to be honest and recognise Manny as the greater fighter (where overall resume is concerned) - by a considerable margin, too.
    To put it into perspective, Nonito Donaire is one of the best Flyweights ever and the physically biggest Flyweight so he's a great example. He could only get to belt holder level at FW- he weighs 140lbs on fight night for a SBW bout and is big in frame for a Bantam.
    Manny started lower than Nonito and ended up 5 weight classes above Donaire - with his best work being in the last 5 weight classes. We make a great deal of 5 weight world champions - that is just a part of Manny's success.

    With regards to a welterweight bout between Manny and Mayweather...most of us are picking Crawford to beat Lomachenko at 140 because of overall size - Manny/Mayweather is even more telling.

    Floyd was as light as Manny too at age 15 when Pac turned pro. Floyd couldn't fight that young because we have commissions here that make it illegal for adolescents to fight professionally. Floyd was a flyweight in the Olympics when he got robbed. Only in Asia and South America do you have guys that have 40-0 professional records by the time they reach 20 years old.

    As for resumes, I don't agree with you. Who did Pac fight in their prime? Ledwaba? Barrera sort of? Certainly not Morales, DLH, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Mayweather ... That's why both Pac and FMJ are outside top 25 ATG for me. Their resumes have names but they didn't really fight those name opponents in their prime.

    Just an honest post. The most prime fighter he ever fought was Bradley.

    Sorry but Manny is not greater than Floyd in any regards. He was always held to a lower standard than Floyd and received multiple passes for things Floyd was condemned for like ducking the first attempt at the big fight when 50-50 was on the table with a 14 day drug test cut off.

    Roach and Ariza both confirmed it was their fault and anyone with common sense knew this from the jump. Floyd would never have gotten full credit for beating Manny no matter when and where but Manny would've became the GOAT just for beating the number 1 villain.

    His biggest success was being the anti-Floyd. Manny also cherry picked far worse than Floyd did. This is fact. Manny was just a tool used to spite Floyd with. That's it. Once the hype got fully exposed, Manny became a has been ever since. He belongs on a reality tv shows at this point instead of being milked fighting Jeff Horn.

    Floyd is and always will be greater than Manny Pacquiao. Manny is one of the most fabricated fighters of all time. His 8 weight divisions is a joke accomplishment which mocks Henry Armstrong's. Plus his size is used as an excuse for also why he lost so his remaining fans still try to have their cake and eat it too.

    I'm 99.9% sure he was using PEDs. Margarito did not beat Manny so bad, he went from 1000 punches a fight to 400. He magically declined once they removed Ariza which was right after the Margarita fight.

    He looks like **** against Bradley, robbery or not. JMM was forever his daddy. Manny's team declined drug testing when he was KTFO then wanted to cry wolf like hypocrites. It's been a comedy show following Manny's career to say the least. People need to know when a fad is dead.

    Pacqiuao is a freak of nature. One of the greatest ever evolved in recent years not just in boxing.
    8 Div champ, Senator, Business man - all came from rags...

    Pac has been on hell of a fighter, he was cheated by Mayweather, the boxing commission lied to Pac, about getting a shot for his injured shoulder, but Void was allowed to get his pain shot. Pac has to have surgery on his shoulder, really bad injury and a very dirty trick by Void and his boxing commission...................
