Watching the fight last night I couldn't help feeling like I was watching a true all time great. I never got that with Floyd.
Same here.
Although Oscar looked shit, it was as if someone had resurrected one of boxings greatest fighters and set them loose on the golden boy.
At times it seemed kinda cruel.
Pac > Floyd.
Clearly Pacquiao ranks as ATG. He's already being talked about with such names as SUGAR RAY ROBINSON. Now that's something. His ruination of DeLaHoya will go down as one of his great prime fights.
No way does Mayweather compare to Pacquiao. Pacquiao is fearless. Mayweather is not. Mayweather ducked too many. If Mayweather came back to prove himself against MARGARITO then maybe some of Floyd's legitimate criticism would dissipate.
Pacquiao should move to 140, fight Hatton if necessary, and stay there. If Floyd wants a smaller man to fight, and he will, then he should have to move down to face Pacquiao.
Pacquiao at 140 or Margarito at 147. Floyd, pick your poison. Oh....I think Floyd will probably stay retired. ROFL!
Right now, Pacman seems much better than PBF. PBF fought an equal fight with DLH, barely winning a SD. Pacman won every round and almost every episode of the fight with DLH. Pacman seems much better. I also think the current Pacman will completely dominate PBF.
Before the Pac-DLH fight, I would have made the opposite ranking and opposite prediction.
I think PBF has every reason to come out of retirement and fight Pacman.
IMHO I favor PAC's accomplishments over Floyd, AND I also believe that ATG BASIS is more on accomplishments than perceived potential ...
BUT I also think a fight between the two, next year could solve this question for us...
Probably Mayweather still by a slight margin. However, if Mayweather remains retired it won't be debatable by the end of Pacquiao's career based on resume.
i thnk if you had asked me before the DLH fight i would have wstill wanted to have said pac man.
i really respect floyd regardless of what anyone says he is pretty damn good, he just never pushes himself, never really took on a challenge that i felt would really test him.
pacman on the other hand was willing to jump 2 weight categories to take on DLH, i cant imagine money mayweather wanting to do the same thing.
