Who has a better resume at the higher weights: Pacman or Floyd

They're pretty much the same. They've even fought many of the same guys.

 

The Marg fight was more or less a WW fight with some gimme weight to Marg so he didn't have to go down to 147. (the LMW title everyone knew was bull****)

For Pac, DLH would need an asterisk for weight drain, and some additional commentary/asterisk for the Floyd-Marquez for going over weight

You should include the Baldo fight for Floyd since its there to negate the Judah argument, (as the way Clottey is for Cotto)

Objectively as WWs and discarding factors such as prior size and such its actually pretty close. Pac's selection has some guys coming off blatant losses while Floyd's is more subtle coming off wins but looked obviously flawed in a recent fight

Remember at light welter Pac took Hatton out in 2 rounds also. I would say that it is far more impressive what Pacquiao has achieved at the higher weights by the way he won the fights. He put a severe beatdown on guys naturally much bigger (De La Hoya and Margarito), knocked Hatton out cold in 2 and started at a far lower weight than Mayweather. But if Pac and Mayweather fight...... Mayweather wide UD

 

Mayweather's wins over Mosley and Marquez are definitely better than Pacquiao's. It gets a bit murkey with Hoya and Hatton. With Hoya, Pacquiao had the more dominant win and went up two weight classes to do it. However, Hoya came down one weight class, and was completely dehydrated. Mayweather went up one weight class to fight Hoya, Hoya was at his natural weight class, and had properly hydrated. With Hatton, Mayweather fought the better version of Hatton, but Pacquiao knocked him out quicker and did it at 140.

I'd say that it's at least 2-2 in the common opponents department. Although you could argue 3-1 or even 4-0 in Mayweather's favor.

 

Ive had enough of talkinga bout these two cowardly ***gots...



JUST ****ING FIGHT ALREADY!!!!

 

I prefer Manny's due to the fact i prefer Clottey/Cotto/Margo as they were the 3 main names of the golden welter era that was meant to be too big for manny, and supposedly sent floyd into retirement. The only one missing is Williams.

Its close though because Ortiz is a good win, as is a better version of DLH.

Cotto will be a good addition to floyd.

Bradley will also be good for Pac (potentially very good depending how much bradley achieves afterwards.

I think bradley has potential to be a Marvin hagler type of the light welters/welters

 

Floyds Resume is much better he beat Mosley when he came off that very good win over Margarito who pacman boxed 6 months later. After Mayweather beat Marquez who really has beaten pacman twice but never got the nod Pacman beat a weight drained Cotto then went on to boc Clottley who had lost to Cotto.

Then Floyd beat Ortiz who was coming off a big win over Berto when has Pacman fought a live opponent like Ortiz?

However..... Pacman has took a hard fight in Timothy Bradley whilst Mayweather has decided to Fight Cotto who i think is a little overated now and Mayweather is trying to hide this by using the fact that hes fighting him at 154 i think after these two fights we may know a little more about who would win if these two did get it on,which they never will.

 

Just looking at the resumes it's Pac, but only by a hair.

Looking at the actual fights I like Floyds performances better. most impressive win IMO is him brutally beating Cotto. Floyd fought the better versions of fighters in general, and i consider Pac's fight against Marquez a draw or a loss for Pac.

 

Actually forget my answer. This ones better :good

 

Their resumes above 140 are roughly equal, but one important factor in Pac's favour is that he achieved it in half the time by being twice as active. He also fought 3 top welters (Cotto, Clottey, Marg) avoided by Floyd.
