Once again, truthfull question here...
If we take a look at both men their resume's, who IYHO has the better one?
Please be honest, don't pick sides here & let's TRY to respect each others opinions.
To help ya'll out just in case...

I think Floyd edges Pac, but an argument can be made for both. It's not a lopsided debate like some of you idiots who just started watching boxing are saying.
5 years ago i would side with Manny..but since then Floyd has came on strong and imo has a better resume now
It's so hard for me to decide which cherry to pick, "Khan or Maidana" please help me with this one - Floyd Mayweather
.... Floyd came on so strong .... :lol1:
pacquiao's world titles in 8 weight divisions trumps mayweather's 5. #end thread

Maybe, but did mayweather ever ended like that in a fight ?

Margarito is the biggest fraud and hypejob in the last 25 years. Once Nazim caught him is resume is 3 losses in 4 fights, got stopped two times. He is a human punching bag with absolutely no skill.
Giving credit to Pac for that beatdown is like giving Floyd credit for the beatdown of Gatti. It was a good punching bag session for both fighters
Of course Pac will get credit for beating Margartio like that, a man who outweigh him 3 divisions, its a dangerous fight for Pac.
People will give Pac credit because it was of course a dangerous fight to fight someone that big, but not going to get much credit for the win. So boxing historians will give Pac massive credit for taking very risky with little to gain fight. Big risk, little reward.
He had a lot to lose. We know Floyd couldn't give margarita a beating like that, so of course Paac will get credit for the win, and don't compare Margarito to Gatti. Margarito was 3 divisions bigger than Pac, heavier, taller, longer reach etc etc.
Floyd fans make silly comparisions for sure.
Trying to discredit the massive beating Pac gave to Margarito eh..
Floyd retired when Margarito came knocking-remember that.:nutkick:

Honestly both resume are pretty similar, people saying Pac blow floyd away are typical haters talking sh1t as usual.
Similar Fights:
Marquez - Floyd toyed with Pac's nemesis btw
Mosley - Pac fought him after floyd, floyd took the fight after a big win by Mosley, when this whole fu ck1ing site claimed that he would be too scared. Roach on the other hand told Shane he was too much of a risk
Miguel Cotto - Solid wins for both of them, Pac fought the primer version but Floyd fought him at his best weight
Hatton - Pac decapitated Hatton, but Floyd is the one who took Hatton's soul in the first place, solid wins for both
DLH - Good wins for both, past prime for Floyd and zombie version for Pac
Fights that distinguish Pac from Floyd
Morales - An incredible trilogy against a legend
Barrera - Incredible win against a legend
Fights that distinguish Floyd from Pac
Alvarez - Young undefeated champ that once again everybody said floyd would duck
Corrales - Most people on this site were not even watching boxing back then, they dont realize how this win was amazing
Castillo - One controversial win against this legend, immediate rematch againt him
I don't want to hear anything about Ortiz, Margarito, Rios, Clottey, Gatti, Guerrero, Diaz... These guys had nothing to do in the ring with Pac or Floyd in the first place. These wins dont mean anything to me.
So both resume are really similar to me. Difference between both fighters is that Floyd went through this resume undefeated when Pac got put to sleep and lost some. These guys are two legends imo, the two best fighters of the last 15 years, but haters will hate...

Both of their resumes are very similar. Both have decent 147 resumes. I think the best win out of both of them at 147 is Mayweather's win over Mosley. Floyd best wins are at 154 and 135 pounds. Manny's best wins are in the lower weights.
General consensus is Pac has the better resume. And people wonder if Floyd fought as often and as regularly as Pac and as great as opponents Paac fought, would Floyd still be unbeaten?
Really implying and suggesting Floyd hasnst fought anyone real good and that he didn't really fight much when he became p4p no1 when it gets tougher. WHen Pac became no1 p4p or even famous when he beat Barrera, Pac did fight regularly when everyone called him out and Paac tried to accomdate everyone with fighting twice a year at least and not taking layoffs.
Mayweather's wins over Genaro and Corrales are just as good as any of Pacquaio's at the lower weights IMHO.
really genaro hernandez is as good as barrera or marquez? why exactly? what did genaro hernandez do in his career? have you looked at his resume? his only notable win was a split decision over 40 year azumah nelson. then he had some crappy title defenses and lost to floyd.
Quite obviously Pacquaio.
Barrera > any win of Mayweathers career...
Nobody mention Canelo, his resume sucks and he's won 2/3 of his belts out of vacancy... to mention him as a young, strong undefeated champion is the same bullsh1t sentence Floyd gives to everyone one of his opponents. Here's a pro-tip, being young often = being green, meaning no experience.
Pacquaio, not only starting at a lower weight class, was the underdog in 3 of his first title wins, practically unheard of in boxing. Not only that, he's fought vastly more opponents than Mayweather, and although has some losses, he's disposed of all of the same opponents Mayweather has fought in spectacular fashion, bar Marquez.
Even in recent opponents Pacquaio facing Bradley and winning is vastly better than Mayweather facing Canelo.
What a joke comment. Floyd always beat peoples leftovers, from Hernandez, DLH, SSM.
Didn't Morales take Floyds next opponent to the edge, way past his prime. Maidana couldn't stop Morales, yet Pac did when Morales was near prime.
Floyd went AWOL when people expected Floyd to show us how good he was. Pac beat Barrera and then showed us how good he was and lived up to expectations.
The general consensus is Pac has the better resume and Floyds consolation prise, is if Floyd fought who Pac fought he probably would have beat them. Woulda, coulda but didn't is the story of Floyds career.
Says the guy who said "PBF if he can beat Hatton needs guys like Cotto and Mosely. Mosely because PBF needs to beat the man who beat the man. Moselys beaten DLH twice.
ONly then can we talk about PBF being ATG along the SRL and Ali and SRRs of this world."
You have no credibility at all

Manny gets credit for his names under 130. Once we get north of that its floyd. A lot of the names on manny's resume are glossy but when he beat them matters.
Take erik morales-when manny lost to him erik was 48-2 and had only lost to barrera. when manny beat him-he had lost the previous fight to zahir raheem and then went on to be 2-7. 2 losses to manny and years later 2 losses to danny garcia.
