Floyd or Pacquiao - Who fought better versions Oscar, Cotto, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley

Manny fought a better version of Cotto than Floyd is arguable. Based on the fact it was a catch weight, Cotto's friend was training him, he was complaining that he didn't have time to heal the cut over his eyes he got from Clottey's fight, because Arum was forcing him into the fight too soon. On the other hand with Floyd is had renewed confidence by beating the man who took his "0". Also, the fight was at his weight class and had a trainer with a Phd in fitness and nutrition.

Floyd fought better version in each case but Manny had to fight the Roid version of Marquez, so I'll give Pac that one.

Floyd- Mosley, DLH, Hatton Pacman- Marquez, Cotto

Thing about Hatton vs Pacquiao is that Hatton was at 147 pound for years before he fought Pacquiao, he might have been weight-drained trying to go back down to 140. Where did you get this info from the floydiots? Hatton had only one fight at welterweight before the Floyd fight and obviously he didn't belong there. Hatton struggled against Collazo and barely escaped. He came back to 140 immediately for obvious reason. Floyd saw this so instead of fighting Hatton at 140 or in a catchweight, worst he dragged Hatton to his best weight division 147. After that, Hatton moved back to 140 and won his next two fights before the Pac fight.

Pacquiao had him virtually out cold and on his back for a few minutes. I just wonder whether it was because his punch resistance was affected by going back to 140, although he did have a couple of fights back down at 140 before the Pacquiao fight but Malignaggi has no punching power.

Who inflicted the most damage?

No way a fighter can be knocked out..then be a better fighter when someone else fights him...that just as retarded as saying Floyd fought a better Cotto after Manny raped him in the ring..i mean damn listen to your own post you contradicted yourself..hell they can say Cotto was undefeated at 154...be a fan not a fanboy foolish statement,,,, I like most of your posts on this thread, but i think you got caught up in the moment on this one... example: who fought the better manny- torrencampo or hatton who fought the better wlad- purrity/sanders or haye who fought the better MAB- juniorjones or prince Guys can get better after a ko... I dont think hatton got better after floyd ko but i dont think it ruined him either IMO just my 2 cents

Mayweather fans are out in full force if they believe he fought the better version of Hatton who was a horrid 147lb fighter. He was still undefeated at 140lbs and that was his true weight. Pacquiao decimated him at his true weight. Also Cotto wasn't as OVER THE HILL when he fought Pacquiao as when he fought Fraud. Cotto was actually looking like Cotto until he was dropped hard in the 4th. He was never the same after that...

Damn shame posters are so damn rooted for their love to one fighter that they feel they have to discredit EVERYTHING about another fighter..lets be real here Manny fought the better Juan,and Cotto-he fought them first,while they were younger and while they were champions Floyd fought the better Oscar,Mosley,Hatton-fought them first while they were younger and while they were champions or undefeated Manny demolished Cotto and knocked Juan down 5 times before he fought Floyd Floyd ko'd Hatton before he fought Manny,Beat Oscar at a healthy weight while he was a champion and beat Mosley while he was a top ww this is commonsense and any reasonable boxing fan will agree..but continue your retarded agenda bases arguments

I say Floyd on all except cotto and Marquez

I see there are a lot of biased/trolls in this thread

Another one that doesnt know what he is talking about. Floyd gobblers :nonono: Its in front of your eyes if your you wernt so deep into denial to see it , do you realize when you come in and say nothing at all that you look like a fckn 2 yr old with no answer's , you couldn't win a debate if your life depended on it , your a hype swallower and spin jockey that's allergic to facts LOL , Id hate to think how dumb Snr Gong is because his kid is a straight up fool .

Another that cant see past your nose , Collazo version of Hatton is a lot heavier and more rounded around the face , that was at 147 and Hatton weighed 159 on the night , Floyds version looks nothing like this . The others all look the same as far as weight carrying goes , and he was 151-153 in all those fights on the night . The Spin is saying Hatton Floyd was a WW fight and they try and bash Floyd for it , It was on paper and that's all , it was JWWs on fight night and that's whats real. Another one that doesnt know what he is talking about. Floyd gobblers :nonono:

Coke eyes look healthy now ... Err...I know for a fact that he was bang on the coke way before Castillo. You dont know what you're talking about.

What does this prove other than he looked healthiest against Pac?

To look at all Hattons weigh ins its as plain as day Collazo was the only time Ricky was genuinely fighting as a WW , the extra weight is easy to see .

My man, styles make fights. Bringing up how Cotto and Broner did against Paulie means nothing. Khan beat Paulie better than anyone ever did, does that mean anything? No. Fact of the matter is Pre Floyd Ricky would have looked much better against Paulie than he did, anyone who has followed the career of Hatton recognizes that. Anyone who followed the career of Hatton recognized that he lost a little something in the Floyd fight. Anyone who followed the career of Hatton recognizes that he was no longer the same fighter, no one can dispute that. There is nothing you can say and no evidence that the same Ricky that fought Floyd is the same Ricky that fought Manny, that's a flat out lie. Ricky vs Floyd. Undefeated, in his prime, top 10 p4p, one of the best fighters in the world. I can not believe we are even having this debate. J, i respect you alot,, you have made your case very clear,, but i still think that if your comparing wins, then its about a TIE,, I will give credit, and if i had to choose and couldnt cop-out with a TIE i would say floyd has the better win.... I honestly agree with the statement that its absurd to think manny's win over hatton was a better win than floyds,,,,, I cant see it being better... But i do think its a TIE or slightly in favor of floyd..... We can continue this debate later,, but for now im out,,, Got a big fantasy football draft tonight,,,,,, Peace out my friend

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have 5 common opponents Oscar De La Hoya Miguel Cotto Ricky Hatton Juan Manuel Marquez Shane Mosley Who do you think fought the better versions of each of these fighters? -- Ok multiple choice poll is up - if you think they fought a roughly equal version of any fighter select them both for that fighter or just don't select anyone. Floyd fought better versions of Oscar, Cotto, Hatton and Mosley. Pacquaio fought the better versions of JMM
