Compare Pacman vs. Diaz to Mayweather vs. Baldomir

[TheGreatA]

C'mon, TheManchine, anyone who's read your posts in this thread can clearly see that you care a great deal about Mayweather, and you don't appreciate Pacquiao at all!

You blow Mayweathers achievements out of proportion, making them bigger than they actually are, while you try to minimize Manny's achievements.

How have I blown Mayweather's achievements out of proportion? How have I minimized Pacquiao's achievements?

Why would you pick one single quote from my post and completely ignore everything else?

Gatti was the same age as Diaz was, both were titleholders. Gatti was in many wars, yes, but since you like to use the same age argument so much, I'm doing it too.

What about this?

Pacquiao moving from flyweight (a weight he had to starve himself to make and lost a fight because of it) to lightweight is about the same amount of weight as Mayweather moving from super feather to light middle.

We all know that there are a lot of super/light divisions in between strawweight and lightweight, it's no wonder Pacquiao went up 'so many divisions' which seems to impress you people so much.

And I don't put too much into Pacquiao's strawweight pro career as he was a teenager then fighting other teenagers, Mayweather also fought at strawweight and flyweight as an amateur.

And this.

Pacquiao was a young man back then, he started his pro career at a much younger age than Mayweather did. When Mayweather was a young amateur, he fought in similar divisions.
I'm not trying to point out that they are similar in size but Pacquiao is not some strawweight knocking out lightweights, he is a solid 147 lbs these days.

I'd like to point out that I don't really even care about Mayweather (I'm a far bigger fan of Pacquiao).
I'm simply tired of reading biased trash from both sides about a fighter who is supposedly retired. I'm neutral about him, I don't let his fans, his fighting style or his outside the ring persona influence the way I think about him as a fighter.

Floyd could fight like John Ruiz for all I care, with wins over Corrales, Castillo, Hatton and De La Hoya he is surely a hall of famer and deserves respect as a boxer for his talent and dedication.
