    so which is false in what i've said? floyd could have done more with his talent and skills. pacquiao has done more with what was given with him and surpassed expectations countless of times. also floyd is great because of his head-to-head potential more than his actual accomplishment. pacquiao is great because of his actual accomplishments and does not fare good in matter of haed-to-head opinions.

    I believe Floyd is underated, while Pac get to much credit. Pac has been beat and as of late he fights people who's done nothing to be in the same ring as him. Floyd on the other hand fight's those who are in creditable positions in there career. Not fighters who are coming off of a lost. Take the De La Hoyle fight as an example. He went into Osacr back yard and took his title from on Oscar terms, after Oscar was coming off of a victory. Pac on the other hand did it the easy way. Fighting Oscar after a lost (Typical) and draining him in the process. What would of made Pac victory impressive, is if he did what he did to Oscar on the same playing field that Floyd fought him on. Then there would be no denying Pac greatness. All we get now from the guy is his media hype.

    They are both rated fairly.

    One is P4P champ... and the other is a coward.

    thats why he never gets in the ring with floyd because he knows it will be over. my best bet is that arum is waiting for floyd to age a bit then fight him like they r doing now with marquez.

    I believe Mayweather would beat Pacquiao. Neither is under or
    over rated.

    Well Pacquiao has achieved more than Mayweather.

    Mayweather is highly praised for this boxing skills, and yet Pacquiao is highly underrated for his.

    You pick.

    Maybe because Floyd didn't do enough in the ring. He avoided the fights that he was supposed to fight. He decided to go on vacation instead. Twice.

    Both fighters' popularity are based mainly on how they project themselves in the media. Pac will be hyped more on the positive way because of his persona outside and inside the ring. He smiles and constantly remains friendly towards his opponents. Floyd however is projecting a different image, a more negative aura, constantly getting in trouble, burning money, thrashtalking, the likes... This gives a negative type of popularity which tends to give negative ratings aswell.

    You don't show up online on ESB unless you are actively on ESB. But good try.


    I like how you actually ignored what I posted though and only responded to that comment instead.

    You must be mad bro. :lol:

    Its the reverse, Pac is aging more than Floyd is (ringwise since it matters more). JMM is practically begging for the fight, Neither Pac nor Arum needs this. Wont do Pac's legacy any good defeating JMM for the second time.
