    The greatest legacy to a hardcore boxing fan or the world ?

    Because of its the world as in general public Floyd hands down leaves the biggest legacy

    He is the most famous, the bigger name. Undefeated, he beat pac for a start

    Floyd will be remembered more

    Look Muhammad Ali is considered the greatest of all time, the biggest name in boxing

    Do I think he was the greatest, nope not p4p he wasn't and I don't think he was the best he either, I think a few ATGs would have beat him. Still he leaves the biggest legacy.

    Because Welters typically hydrate to 160 and you would be consenting 10-15 pounds in the ring. This is common knowledge and the fact you have to ask such a question is troubling.

    Lightweights typically hydrate to over 140. As mentioned Pac's opponent that night was 148.

    Weight bullies do exist and you are going to have to produce an example of Pac being one before you can make such a point.


    I won't acknowledge something that never happened. Pac has never failed to make a contracted weigh in.

    But Floyd has in Cotto. Regardless it's a bizarre criticism.

    Yes, in fact I did.

    This is a weird strawman. I never said you had to praise both to be objective. I repeat...

    "The establishment of a relevant factual measurement and applying it fairly to both guys."

    I have not personally attacked you. You tried very hard to portray your argument tools as being objective, I called it out as not being such.

    NP if you feel U didnt attack me, as you weren't being insulting, rather coming hard at me to prove Pac is better than Floyd by claiming I wasn't being objective. Again, NP seeing you're the only one claiming it.
    And I agree you call me out, to which I have no issues with. Unless we're dealing with math or something in that category, there is zero chance of producing an objective position on which guy is better. The discussion will never prove who is better, rather the general consensus of how many people favor one over the other. At this point on this thread it's Pac. I acknowledge, It's irrelevant what other sites says Floyd, here it is Pac. I accept the consensus he is better here, but it isn't a fact.

    Pacquiao rose to prominence in boxing from hardly having anything in the Philippines. Let alone proper training and coaching. Floyd grew up in a boxing household with professional coaching all his life. Just sayin.

    Manny’s road to the top was MUCH more impressive

    I think with time, Pac will leave a greater legacy and be remembered more fondly/held in higher regard. I used to be on the Floyd bandwagon and I still view him as a superior fighter h2h, but now that fanboyism has settled down and you can see things more for how they are, I'm starting to appreciate Pac more and more.

    Now I am going to personally attack you. How drunk are you when you post here? I would objectively guess you are drunker than hell.

    NP, after reading about 5 of your posts, I have no problem being another person you talk to like this:

    When fighters lose they have a habit of genuinely looking off, as in they somehow didn't look as good as the fights they won in. (So, you speak for all fighters now);)

    And where is Joey Maxim?
    (he didn't feel the same way about him as you)

    It's hypocrisy.
    (of course it is, you would know!)

    Too much emotional investment, not enough logic...

    What a clown. No credibility.

    I wasn't a liar. An apology would be nice, mam.

    I'm sorry youre bitter about being embarrassed over your factually


    You did the above to about 4 people, out of 5 posts. Good day, maybe another topic. Hopefully not.

    I don't speak for anyone, what a weird take away from a personal observation.

    No **** he don't feel the same about Joey Maxim. What is your point?

    You can call me a hypocrite all you want, finding an actual example will be challenge.

    Yes, I was rude to Dino and Pimp C who are trash talking idiots. And I called you out for looking like you post drunk, because you do.
