    Mayweather went life and death with Castillo. Both Morales and JMM are on a whole other level. Mayweather has never fought anyone as good as Morales, Barrera or JMM. Actually, Mayweather went SPLIT DECISION against a shot Oscar de la Hoya. Even Oscar's trainer said he couldn't pull the trigger anymore... imagine if Oscar was still in his prime

    Pacquiao > Mayweather. Mayweather is a great fighter, just not as great.

    You are insane^ Oscar was at 154 and healthy, his stomach didn't shrink, he lost weight after the weigh in, if i'm correct. 1st fight he had a slight tear in his rotator cuff. if they were to fight before at a decided weight Floyd would kick his ass and knock him out around 9 rounds.

    Your bias isn't even amusing anymore, you're just a ****ing idiot.


    He was poorly managed teenager who was getting sent in to fight experienced pro's in their back yards. He is a completely different fighter now. That was over a decade ago anyway, it has no relevance to how good Pac is above flyweight and how good a world champion he has been for the majority of his pro career. The only people still clinging to those early-career losses are haters with zero knowledge of this sport. Henry Armstrong had early career losses too, many fighters do, not all fighters are well managed in their early careers, and yes, some of them are just green and lose as they learn. It has no effect on their overall career greatness. Grow up.

    To say Morales was past-it that night again shows your horribly infantile bias and hate. That Morales was easily as good a fighter p4p as the Castillo who beat Mayweather, some would argue better.

    Disgusting?? :lol: What the **** is wrong with you? What are you, 6 years old? Disagree if you want, but this opinion is not "disgusting".

    IMO, the gap between Pacquiao and Mayweather now in terms of greatness is very small. Mayweather is ahead, but not by much. If Pac decisively beats the world pound-for-pound number 2 to go 2-0-1 against him, and also beats the naturally bigger Hatton at Hatton's natural weight class where Hatton is the undisputed number 1, then I think it is perfectly valid to say that despite Mayweather having superior skills, Pacquiao's resume and achievements (first man in history to win world titles at fly as well as light AND light-welter, 6-weight world champ, strong resume) will then outstrip Mayweather's (weaker resume, 5-weight world champ, weight-jumping feats not as impressive).

    Owned. "Lol".

    PS: IMO Hamed's best win was Bungu :good

    Pac has been outboxed out brawled put on his ass and stopped. When have you seen that happen to PBF?:hi: Not to mention I felt JMM won the second fight. PBF would beat MAB, EM, JMM all by either wide UD or TKO.:deal

    Mayweather is greater than Pacquiao, and apparently Pacquiao has turned down a legacy fight in Hatton.

    In terms of accomplishments PAC is better.....but in terms of overall skills...you can't go against the great Floyd Mayweather. Not sure which way to vote but careers are based on what you actually DO....not what you are capable of! PAC career has more substance even if he's not undefeated!

    Rightly so. Pac is in his 10th weight class, PBF in his 5th. Then again, who knows how the fight will go, hasnt happened yet.

    I can argue it. What prime fighters has Pac actually beaten? He lost to the closest prime version of EM. He drew with a prime JMM and although he won the rematch most thought he lost. He beat a MAB who at that time was going through brain surgery and in the rematch beat a shot MAB. Most of his best wins have been against past prime fighters with big names. Not to mention he has KO losses on his record that can't be overlooked. PBF on the other hand has no losses he's never been knocked down, rarely if ever in trouble, outboxed or dare I say out brawled. Also the H2H matchup favors PBF as well. That's why I have PBF ahead.
