    If Pacquiao beats De La Hoya......is he greater than Mayweather?

    Big IF but if he does beat Oscar this December , would he be considered a greater fighter than Mayweather?

    I'm not talking about skills......which Floyd has in abundance......I'm talking about their greatness as far as resume and legacy and how history will judge them.

    Some would argue Manny already has the better resume than Floyd. If Manny beats Oscar , who was one of Floyd's biggest wins , how would you judge them? What if Manny beats Hatton too?

    Pac will have to beat Hatton in My Eyes. Pacquiao and Floyd have about the same resume!!!! right know. Plus Foyd is undefeted, so I think Pacquiao have to beat Hatton or atleast and equeal big name!!!!!!

        Fair enough. I don't think Pac gets past Oscar though anyway. One could hope though.

          some of the best fights were "circus" fights , pico.

          at least i hope you will watch it. even if you're not buying it.

            I agree. He should not get past Oscar. Matter of facts if Oscar wins a desicion is a loss for Oscar in my eyes!!!!!!1

              I Know about 7 families who are going to buy it, i just have to determine which will be less annoying if I watch the fight with them the pinoys or the mexicans..

                If Manny cleaned house at welter beating Cotto and Margarito who Floyd never fought then he'd be ****ting all over Floyd's career. Another big IF scenario after beating DLH but 1 i see as legitimately possible.

                  the pinoys would be much more hyped. (can you really get excited over a natural welterweight beating a natural featherweight?)

                  but you might prefer mexican food.

                    no way should manny fight a prime welterweight.

                    oscar is okay because it's a big money , big event and oscar is past prime.

                    it makes the fight intriguing.

                    the biggest manny should fight is a short , natural 140 guy like hatton or maybe even floyd (though floyd would school pac......it'd also be big money , a big event and floyd is not much bigger.)
