    And that is the problem with the majority of the Floyd fan base,... They didn't grow up watching the live fights of the fab 4 and they don't have a clue that Floyd would go 0-4 against them.. Not even to mention the greats before them who had 150 +, 175 + fights, etc. They only see Floyd's "no loss" and they run with that.. Pac was the I'll fight anyone anywhere anytime type of fighter, and that just wasn't Floyd

    FFS.... Why? The only debate occurs when some ball hugger decides to bring it up again. They both have excellent legacies leave it at that instead of people trying to justify who was better because they "like them" better. put it to bed already,

    Some people say who has a better legacy boxing is being who argues best not his resume.

    PAC is a people's champion so he'll always have that Ali-esque recognition. I dislike Floyd so much but he has unintentionally put a lot more eyes and investment towards boxing no doubt

    Ummm you're wrong. If you want to talk about Floyd didn't face any fighters in their primes? I can say the same that pac not only didn't face many fighters in their primes? But not at their best in which those are pure facts.

    Pacquiao beat a past prime not the same barrera when barrera in the first fight was coming off a lot big fights in which took its tool especially facing morales twice, Jones twice and naz. He lost to Jones twice. He was in a war with morales twice. And plus coming off from 60 pro fights going to pac first fight? <<<<That's a prime barrera? Please. Don't get me started with the rematch.

    Pac only face morales after morales was coming off loses in which morales was also past his prime.

    He moved up 2 weight class to beat a very decline zombie oscar.

    He beat a past prime had to lose over 100 pounds to make 140 pounds in Hatton.

    He beat a weight drain Cotto at a smh catch weight in which Cotto prime days was done thanks to the cheater Margarito ruined him.

    He beat a decline mosley.

    He beat a fighter that shouldn't have move up to ww in Bradley cause ever since Bradley moved up to ww? He hasn't once look very impressive except beating a 40 years old marquez.

    Pacquiao beat a past prime or decline Margarito thanks to mosley ruined him by destroying Margarito. And let's not forget about the smh catch weight yet again by Pacquiao.

    He beat freaking Brandon Rios in which everybody knew pac would win easily lol.

    He easily beat up Chris algeri lol.

    The only fighter he's face that was a top fighter at his best in two fights? Marquez but it wasn't a clear win.

    So you see you can say whatever you want about Floyd bUT dont sit there and tell me Floyd never face fighters at their best when Pacquiao did basically the same thing bottom line.

    Margarito, Hatton, Cotto weren't at their best when pac fought them lol. Pax fought both Cotto and Margarito at a freaking catch weight to weight drain both of those fighters smh. Cotto was coming off of a brutal war with clottey in which most ppl thought Cotto lost that fight. Plus Cotto was no longer a prime at his best thanks to margocheato cheated with a loaded gloves destroy Cotto prime career.

    Pac beat a past prime very weight drain Hatton who was coming off a tko lost to Mayweather incase you forgot.

    Pacquiao beat a past prime coming off from a brutal beating from mosley in Margarito in another smh catch weight.

    ^^^Those fighters weren't at their best.

    he fought them when they were closer to best than Floyd did. And he never had doubts about fighting them. Oscar etc. Pacman is the greater fighter. Better legacy by far.. I don't think it is close.

    Lol they still weren't at their best lol come on man.

    And Pacquiao beat 3 fighters that Floyd already beat first in hatton, Oscar, mosley btw.

    So if Floyd never beat fighters at their best? Why pac fought Floyd left overs?

    Floyd always handpicked and made guys fight on his rules. He never was in a great fight and avoided the best when they were prime. Especially Manny... waited until Manny was knocked out and lost to Bradley.. Floyd is not a real all time great.. And he knows it I think.
