Thing is its very easy to see when facts are important not twisted innuendo , opinions from the Manny fanboys is a tip toe through the tulips while in a hot tub time machine . , how the fck is a guy better when he has lost a number of times , fought lessor weight drained versions of common opponents and then lost head to head , lol Manny fanboys are in denial and always have been .
I suppose Floyd is the better fighter but I think it would have clear if the fight took place much sooner, before their respective reigns at welterweight. On the otherhand, Pac is without a doubt the greater fighter in terms of accomplishments. What he has done shouldn't have and never will be done again. I mean can you imagine Floyd beating those charlo twins, J Rock, Lara, Andrare and moving up to face golovkin, Quillen, Lumiex, Jacobs. And then going even further to face a prime ward, froch, badou jack, gilberto ramirez. I realize the timeline doesn't quite match up but essentially this is the mountain pac had to climb.
Pound for pound is based strictly on personal opinion so there really are no right or wrong answers, just different opinions. I agree with you that Mayweather should rate a bit over Pacquiao. Mayweather never lost a fight while Pacquiao lost several times. I don't see what difference it makes what weight they turned pro at. Both of them ended up welterweights although I think Mayweather is naturally about 6 or 7 pounds bigger than Pacquiao. Mayweather is older but when they fought Mayweather won a clear ud. They had a common opponent in Marquez who was easily defeated by Mayweather but gave Pacquiao lots of trouble and knocked him out in their 4th fight. All things considered I give Mayweather the edge. Mayweather had an advantage in the beginning because Mayweather always had good nutrition and proper training and a great trainer while Pacquiao did not.
