Who is the better all around fighter? Consider the 4 elements of judging boxing rounds.
Clean Effective Punching
Effective Aggression
Ring Generalship
Defense
I think Floyd beats Manny at 147 because he's the bigger man. Yes they're similar in size but Floyd is bigger.
Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter
His Defense and Ring Generalship is under rated. His Power and Speed are arguably the best in the business poud for pound.
Very good post. Manny is better overall. And that's the key word: OVERALL
If they ever fought, and Floyd won, it's because he's clearly the significantly larger man. But Manny would always be the better man. Larry Merchant said it, the truth has been spoken.

takes a "real warrior spirit" to fight a zombie oscar at 147 and david diaz at 135, and a shot ricky hatton at 140.
if pac had a real warriors spirit he would have faced nate campbell at 135 the strongest champ instead of the weakest in david diaz.
floyd went straigfht from 130 into the lions den at 135 with castilo why didn't pac do the same with campbell:dunno:
Ricky Hatton's shot now? 135 was Floyd's second weight class, after a long run at 130. 135 was Manny's 7th if you count the one's he skipped and not before he won a title. Lol how Floyd went straight into the lion's den with Gatti (instead of Tszyu or Cotto.)
nope, he was right the first time.
hence why you dont know shit.
here, suck on your :bottle: sucky baby
Did I just offend 5*'s biatch? Who are you, his wife?
Anyone who says Manny is better then Floyd doesnt know boxing period.
Anyone who says "Anyone who says Manny is better then Floyd doesnt know boxing period" don't know shit. Period.
I guess Larry Merchant don't know shit then.pretty much...he is biased towards manny and has been for a long time...i guarantee you, he wouldn't say if floyd and manny were face to face, that manny pac is the bretter fighter...i gurantee you...larry himself said floyd fights as naturally as a fish swims...so, basically, he thinks with his heart as do you and many other heart thinkers on this forum do...bixing is made dramatic by heart...boxing matches are won by smart thinking...no fighetr i this era or the last era is a smarter fighter than floyd jr, period...he is the better fighter, no contest...
what's that based on?
Floyd is not Zab Judah...
based on:
- morales 3x
- mab 2x
- jmm 2x
- dlh 2 divisions above his current weight at the time (pac was a heavy underdog)
- hatton who is a bigger guy at 140 (pac destroyed hatton in 2)
- moving up from 106 lbs to fight at 147 lbs
- 6 titles in 6 weight divisions
- 4 lineal divison titles
- willingness to fight cotto
- willingness to fight margarito
- willingness to fight mosley
- etc...
At the end of the day most polls end up with biased results.
They are polar opposites.
Pacquiao attributed to aggression
Mayweather attributed to tactician
pac's the better fighter, floyd is the better boxer
agreed
On this subject, Pacquiao ain't on Floyd's level but it don't matter. Pacquiao gonna win the poll anyway, you can't involve Pacquiao fans in any poll...NO OFFENSE, but most are stupid.
just like floyd fans but not so bad

Skill wise.. Floyd Mayweather by a country mile..
So it appears that even Merchant thinks Manny is better. Larry has spoken, the debate is over.
This, Merchant believes, is what made him pick Pacquiao as the better man.
“If you look back at the record, though, I think it shows that Pacquiao is better. I want someone willing to take risks, someone who moves me,” he said.
“I think Pacquiao is better than Mayweather.”
