    Pac and Floyd have 5 common opponents, ODLH, Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, and Marquez.
    I would argue Pac's performance vs ODLH, Cotto, and Mosley were better than Floyd's.

    1. Pac moved UP in weight and annihilated an ATG Marco Antonio Barrera when he was lineal champ in his first fight at featherweight. Floyd won a lackluster decision by winning 8 rounds against a smaller fighter who'd seen better days.

    2. Pac knocked out Erik Morales. As much as Morales was past prime, Canelo was green. Maybe even moreso. Morales is a higher caliber fighter than Canelo anyways.

    3. Marquez moved up two divisions for that fight. Pacquiao's 2 round destruction of Hatton at Hatton's best weight was way more impressive.

    Pakkumam brings up some good valid points. Floyd’s illegal fluids and pacs injured shoulder will forever tarnish mayweather s win.
     
    C.J. and Pakkuman like this.

    You mean the same MAB who was fresh off of having brain surgery that MAB? PBF schooled Pac his biggest rival don't try and down play the win now.

    A shot Erik Morales who never had a win of note after beating Pac is no where near as good of a win as PBF's clinic against Canelo. You're high.

    PBF shut out JMM an underrated win to be honest. PBF beat Hatton first and the weight is not an excuse Hatton never made an excuse so why are you? PBF beats Hatton worse at 140 than he does at 147 anyway.

    How? Pac checked he was healthy and PBF was cleared and passed all test, the result stands. You mean it helps people like you who have trouble sleeping at night feel better by coming up with an excuse. You know damn well Pac can't beat PBF hell most Pac fans never wanted the fight in the first place and most picked PBF to win.:deal:

    MAB had brain surgery in 1997. He was a nobody in 1997.

    Well clearly Ward is better so he just have a greater legacy? Isnt that the logic people are going with here?

    "Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" ROFLMAO. I guess the NSAC forgot their own rules that saline IV drips must be administered in a medical facilty & no more than 50 ml of saline should be administered at a time?? ROFLMAO Plus when did Floyd tick the box claiming he was dehydrated ?? He didnt
    C'mon man the NSAC covered his ass & you know it

    You cant sit there with a straight face and say that MAB is not the best win on either mans resume.

    Nobody who knows boxing would actually do that.

    Stop! That's not the same thing they never fought in the same weights or even close to it. PBF is the better fighter of the 2 he's more complete than Ward is and has a better resume.

    So then stop comparing Floyd to Pac H2H like its be all end all. Pac is clearly smaller and should have been squashed at 130 let alone 147.
