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

[deliveryman]

Manny Pacquiao already has a better resume than Floyd's.

Many people thought De La Hoya beat Mayweather - I scored it a draw.

If Pacquiao decisively defeats Oscar, then even Floyd's delusional nuthuggers will have to admit he is greater than Floyd.

And remember Floyd is a much bigger man than Manny - Floyd's reach and height are comparable to heavyweights like David Tua and Mike Tyson. Floyd started at 130 but Pacman started at 106.

Do you hate Mayweather that much where you let it influence your scoring? Floyd CLEARLY won that fight.

I think Pac Man is already better than Mayweather.

You dont mean skill wise do you.
Cut your bull****.

Manny is barely 5´6" while Cotto is 5´8". Plus Cotto is much bigger than Pacquiao. Cotto is a big bone guy!!! More reach and more power than Pacquiao too. Margarito AVG 98.3 Punches per round in his last 4 fights while Manny AVG 71.7 not nearly close.

Actually Pac is almost 5'7..he's 5'6 1/2 to be exact. Cotto is 5'7, Mayweather is 5'8. Cotto is stockier than Pac in the upper body, but Pac is filling out, and his legs are much bigger. Pacquiao on average doesn't throw as many as Margerito, but if he wants to he can, in the david Diaz fight he threw what? 800 punches in 9 rounds? I remember in the punch stats many of the rounds Pacquiao threw over 100 punches.

95 % oscar wins this fight.

only thing is manny is a live dog.

against cotto and marg , manny would not be a live underdog.

Welcome back Tua. 95% Oscar wins? Huh? Many people will be surprised by the Pacman victory on December 6th. ODLH will be totally surprised by the Pacman fury. JAT

True Pac is filling out, unnaturally, though. Big difference.

The other 5% is if Oscar decides to throw the fight, to set up a super-duper-duper showdown between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

on the whole DLH/Mayweather fight i thought DLH deserved the win. Floyd did absolutely nothing to deserve it. He ran for 12 rounds, landing one punch at a time, never over 10 punches a round. Whereas DLH pressed forward and was agressive all night, Mayweather had no answer for the DLH jab except retreat.. if you go back and watch that fight, there are several rounds that could be tossups, and in those rounds where it could go either way, then i think it should be scored in favor of the agressor, the person who worked harder..just like the last 3 rounds of DLH vs Trinidad were scored for Trinidad, Mayweather was in retreat all night.

Pacman's resume now is still better than Mayweathen even Pacman won't beat Oscar... Speaking of Hatton, I think pacman would KO hatton worst than Mayweather did...

[S.G.]

if we're just talking resume, Manny's is already slightly better in my opinion

but greatness is determined by a multitude of factors and i believe Mayweather's pure talent and boxing brain puts him ahead of Pacman in terms of overall greatness, and i doubt Pacman will ever surpass him

If pacman don't have the talent like Mayweather have why he got better resume than Mayweather? Speaking of talent theres a lot of perspective to determined who is better than the two... Their styles are diferent that's why we can't compare them.. One thing they are in common, They are both successful in their career... Money, Fame ect ect ect.
