    Floyd tends to be the lighter guy in a lot of his fights which is impressive imo.

    How can this even be debated? Half of Pacfraud's wins were against guys Mayweather beat or guys that beat them and Mayweather beat.

    Mayweather > Pacfraud

    undefeated Hatton and 1 loss Ortiz is pretty tough to beat.

    I would very disappointed if Floyd doesn't finish off Ortiz.

    Pac easy! He fought 3 guys in a row mayweather refused to fight because of his brittle hands and he didnt give up 1 round in doing so either. clottey, margacheato, cotto.

    pac has been the busier fighter though..

    I still think an undefeated Hatton and a young Ortiz is the deal breaker and I'm a pac fan.

    Mayweather:

    Mitchell
    Judah
    Baldomir
    De La Hoya
    Hatton
    Marquez
    Mosley
    Ortiz

    Pacquaio:

    De La Hoya
    Cotto
    Clottey
    Margarito
    Mosley
    Marquez

    I'd give the slight edge to Pacman. Also, to be fair to Pacman, Mayweather had 2 more fights at this weight.

    Considering everyone Floyd fought above 140 were in creditable positions at the time, compared to the time Pac fought his opponents. Floyd would be the winner here. So who has fought better competition above 140lbs? Mayweather or Pacquiao? My answer is Mayweather.

    LOL. Judah coming off a loss. Hatton fighting above his ideal weight (still good win). Marquez way above his ideal weight. Baldomir lineal champ but a walking robot.

    Cotto = Bad Performance against Chester Cheato. Good win
    Hatton = Decent win.
    De La Hoya = Drained
    Clottey = Walking punching bag, coming off another bad loss
    Margarito = Didn't deserve the fight, coming off two bad matches
    Mosley = Coming off two bad matches, old.
    Marquez = SMH.

    Are you serious? Clottey was in a super close fight with Cotto and was without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best WWs in the world at the time. And his win over Cotto is a great, great win. Not to mention, while Margo didn't deserve the fight, he was a huge test for Pacman given the size difference. De La Hoya, Mosley, JMM i can brush off.

    Floyd fans seems to be proud beating BALDOMIR who had a lackluster record of 43-9-6 record win! Mayweather only last 6 fights had only 1 ko which is against ricky hatton who fought above his weight level. He can't even finish off marquez who was obviously fighting above his comfortable level. Funny thing is that he calls himself the BEST. :rofl
