    Yeah nice way to insult someone after you got corrected. Very mature.

    So yeah, Mayweather is NOT a complete fighter. Cotto, Donaire and JMM are defo not complete fighters as well. You just have to watch them to know it mate.

    SRR and Roberto Duran comes the closest, but even they have something that they lack.

    nope, cause according to boxrec, it was 1997 when PBF fought someone with a 1-13-1 record, and it was in 99 when Pac got KO'd

    get it?

    the fact is that Pac was pushed ahead really quickly in his career, which is why its normal that he had some setbacks. Unlike Floyd who was trained under a microscope from the day he was born and who's every step has been meticulously calculated by smart promoters and managers.

    its not the same. Don't compare the two indeed.

    which leads back to what Mayweather said

    "Dont compare me to Manny Pacquiao"

    :rofl :rofl :rofl admit it, you were wrong & you tried to cover it up by saying "Pac was this & that at age 19"

    FACTS:

    Mayweather never allowed a guy to outbox him.
    Mayweather never got KO'd.
    Mayweather was a champ in 1999 & on the p4p list.

    PacMan knocekd a guy down 3 times in a fight & got outboxed so much that he only came up with a draw.
    PacMan got KO'd twice in his career.
    PacMan is no PBF!

    :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Pac is 2-0 against top5 p4p fighters.

    Floyd is 0-0 against top5 p4p fighters.

    I think Ricky Hatton might be the only top10 p4p fighter Floyd has ever fought. god damn

    Oh yea? you gave Barrera the first fight?

    My point is that you think you can't compare Floyd to PAcquiao for what? Because he's undefeated? Because Pacquiao got knocked out at an age when most fighters are still fighting in the amateurs? Because Pacquiao knocked down a great fighter 3 times and then had a close fight against him? Its stupid. Pac steps up to the plate and has an insane batting average. Compared to Pac, Floyd is stuck hitting homers in the minors, with the occasional foul ball.

    Funny you say that, cause as of now it seems that Pac is somewhat following Floyds footsteps. Trying to fight Oscar & Hatton, fighting for bib money. Sounds like Floyd is his role model. But Mayweather is on a different level than Pac, if these 2 were to ever meet, it would be bad for all of the PacFans. But Im out, PEACE!

    i think you're right. when people try to become complete by working on every aspect of their abilities, their abilities would become average/good.
