Grand scale of things, evander at cruiser beat qawi twice, deleon, ossie ocasio.. qawi was the best fighter evander faced at cruiser, and qawi was past prime and was nowhere near as good as he was at light heavy years earlier.
Lembedwa, morales, barrera, marquez were much better competition for manny in the lower weight classes..
You say manny fought old guys, well evander defended vs old foreman and holmes. Those are his best title defenses..
He beat bowe once, and got knocked out by bowe,, also lost to moorer, nice victory in the rematch and also a solid win over mercer.. Tyson was past prime but so was evander at that point.. after tyson, he defended once against one of the worst title challengers ever in Vaughn Bean.. Then he came up short 2 times to lewis, and then struggled and was beaten by ruiz, toney, byrd.
I don't see how any of those guys "in the grand scheme of things" could be considered great besides the bowe win.
marquez x4, morales x3, barrera x2, hatton, cotto, oscar, margarito, shane, bradley x3, lebedwa, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than
quawi x2, deleon, dokes, osscie, buster, bowe 3x, tyson 2x, moorer 2x, lennox 2x, ruiz 3x, mercer, holmes, foreman
major career fights vs rivals
evander:
tyson 2-0
bowe 1-2
lennox 0-1-1
foreman 1-0
holmes 1-0
moorer 1-1
overall 6-4-1
Manny overall
floyd 0-1
hatton 1-0
cotto 1-0
bradley 2-1,,, should be undefeated
morales 2-1
barrera 2-0
marquez 2-1-1
lebedwa 1-0
overall 11-4-1,,,, and without the bradley robbery it would be 12-3-1
And I'm leaving off wins for 112 title, margarito, diaz for 135 belt, mosely, oscar
And manny fought many more elite p4p guys
barrera
marquez
bradley
cotto
floyd
were all legit p4p guys, and morales was just a few months removed
Evander fought more old guys, less p4p guys, struggled more, lost more, got knocked out multiple times just like manny,
also evander was never considered p4p#1, while manny reigned atop p4p for a year or so, 08-09
Plus, manny had dominante performances in some of his biggest fights i.e. barrera 1, hatton, cotto, bradley... Evander never had a major dominant victory in any of his big wins
I don't see any logical way to have evander ahead of manny

Don't turn this into a polar argument. I rank Pacquiao highly just not higher than Holyfield.

Evander got dragged into wars with nearly everyone,,, manny fought better competition and was way more dominant than evander ever was..
Evander had huge heart, and good but not great skills
Manny is above him in terms of skills, competition faced, longevity
Name one big fight that evander dominated in???
Manny clearly dominated barrera, hatton, ledbedwa, hatton, cotto, bradley..
Evander never dominated

Originally posted by Mr.DagoWop View PostTrue but I think he blows every cruiserweight out of the water which is more than I can say for Manny at any weight.
He was cruder and didnt use angles as well but he was fast af, blazing combos, southpaw with legit KO power.

Like I said him and Holyfield are close but Holyfield is higher. Pacquiao could be beaten by technically sound fighters.
Holyfield fought consistently better fighters (thus why he never dominated a fight as you say) throughout his career and had better longevity. He didn't lose a fight until 30 against a prime Bowe. At cruiser weight he beat Qawi who was coming off of a stoppage win against Spinx at just 12 pro wins. Talk about fed to the wolves. He then went on after his loses to Bowe to stop Tyson. Holyfield had a better chin, power, and was a smarter fighter overall. Simple as that really.

Morales, marquez and floyd are the only guys to give a prime manny problems.. Evander had problems with quawi, dokes, moorer, hell Bert cooper dropped him.. Struggled with ruiz at the same point of his career as manny was boxong the ears off rios, bradley, algieri
I don't see anyway that Evander is ahead of manny
Not skills
Not resume
Not longevity
Not opponents

Originally posted by Mr.DagoWop View PostAgain Barrera was the only great fighter on that list. Manny lacked fundamentals. He had a bad chin which wasn't put in harms way as many times due to his awkward style (a point for him). His power wasn't there at Welterweight. He failed to put away Chris Algieri who is a C class fighter at best.

2. Longevity- Evander was championship material from 86-99.. 14 years.. Manny has been championship material from 98-16... 18 years..
3. Evander didn't have the same power as manny.. Manny has dropped, wrecked, or stopped lebedwa, barrera, marquez, morales, hatton, cotto, bradley, Oscar, shane.... Name evander's big stoppage wins
4. Lmao about qawi coming off a stoppage win over Leon Spinks being a significant big win,,, that's really not saying much
