    Beating Mayweather without a doubt.

    Martinez for sure. Beating an undisputed MW champion would be unprecedented and erase all doubts about "titles" at LMW and WW. Pac would go into that fight as the clear underdog. Against Mayweather it would be 50-50. Ludicrous matchup though.

    Depends how you view it. The far greater fighter or the far less winnable challenge is what it is to me. They'd both be something but what do you think when you hear Former Linear flyweight champion and NEW linear middleweight champion? It's insane!

    Mayweather though holding belts in five of the original eight weight classes would be impressive regardless of the paper titles being tossed around now.

    it looks good to have martinez now but in the long run, a win over floyd is a win over a fellow ATG who is undefeated, still bigger than him and has a styles advantage.

    It has to be the Floyd fight.Moving up again would be a great achievement but Floyd is the fighter who people feel has a chance of beating Manny.

    floyd. martinez is great but floyds all all time great and undefeated- to be the first to beat him would be the biggest win of anyones career who is currently boxing.

    Whilst I don't think Pacquiao can beat a Martinez that weighs in at 154, beating Martinez would be a greater achievement, but the general public would regard a victory of Floyd as being more meritorious, and that is something Pacquiao could do at 147 or below.

    Mayweather

    And i doubt the fight against martinez would be at 160, 154 at best, and pac weighs in the same he did against Margarito
