Casamayor was also in his prime and might get the nod as a better technical boxer than Pac. Casamayor actually had a strong left and it was sneaky at times. He also had a nice jab and an arsenal of punches; hard to hit as well.Even so... he wore down when he went down.
Casamayor was starching him with his straight left.
Pacquiao's straight left > Casamayor's.
Even if he did keep getting up, Pacquiao's chin is unreal... I'm not sure Corrales could break it, and Corrales going down a million times to the left hand means that he loses a decison if it goes the distance.
Pac can be hit.
Pac's been hurt in his fights even after he matured.
Corrales is much bigger in punching power than anyone Pac fought. We don't count Shot/weight-drained Oscar who couldn't land a punch.Comment

Why would that change my mind? Hatton's chin isn't exactly stellar.
Listen... chin is something that I value very highly, and because of that, I REALLY pay attention to it.
Castillo's chin is on par with someone like Chavez... Baldomir... Margarito...
Just incredible. 0 chance of a KO.Comment

Senseless topic. Pacquiao by a million miles. The Poll speak for itself. Pac's win over Oscar just made Floyd a joke.Comment

diaz is slow and a plodder; not that great to test Pac like the others.
Oscar was a corpse; not a good test.
I'm not sold on him being that much better, yet.Comment

Actually, if you think about it, it might not really be as you think it is. Just because someone disagrees with your opinion doesn't make them a hypocrite. I would say that someone who has one set of rules for one guy but another completely different set for another is closer to a hypocrite.
You're looking at all this as though I'm saying Pac is a bad fighter, which is way off track, but you can't see that because someone is not agreeing with what you're saying and not saying that your favourite might not just be the best fighter that ever walked the face of the earth.
Just because someone disagrees with you does not make them hypocritical. Let me put it this way, and you can go back and read what I wrote earlier. Right now I think Mayweather is a bit ahead of Pacquiao based on his wins, championship run and defenses, who he faced and how he won, and his overall loss/win record and divisional dominance/division titles held.
Pac has won titles from 112 to 135. Mayweather has won titles from 130 to 154. During those title runs Pac has lost twice, once by KO, and drawn twice whereas Mayweather has not lost yet. Now, this is the big bit, champions faced and beaten with records at time of fight/s and weight.
Pacquiao:
Sasakul 31-1 W 112
Singsurat 18-0 L KO3 112
Ledwaba 33-1 W 122
Sanchez 31-9 D 122
Julio 44-3 W 122
Barrera 57-3 Wx2 126, 130
Marquez 42-2 D, W 126, 130
Morales 47-2 L, Wx2 130
Velasquez 42-10 W 130
Larios 56-4 W 130
Diaz 34-1 W 135
DLHoya 39-5 W 147 (no title)
Mayweather:
Hernandez 38-1 W 130
Manfredy 25-2 W 130
Vargas 40-6 W 130
Corrales 30-0 W 130
C. Hernandez 33-2 W 130
Chavez 35-1 W 130
Castillo 45-4 Wx2 135
Corley 28-2 W 140
Gatti 39-6 W 140
Mitchell 56-4 W 147
Judah 34-3 W 147
Baldomir 43-9 W 147
DLHoya 38-4 W 154
Hatton 43-0 W 147
Now, I'm not going to waste the time to go into where each guy was at in his career at the time of each fight 'cause that would take way too long and be much too boring.
Now, you can see Mayweather also has more one division dominance at 130 as well as all the other fights and that's not including his other title fights against guys that were not champion themselves.
This is not a pissing contest or some pathetic thing about trying to make a favourite look better than everyone else, because I like Pac a lot more than Mayweather, but, I think he had a better championship run, fought more champions at their prime weights and two undefeated champions as well as being unbeaten throughout his whole career.
In those alone Pac is 12-2-2, while Mayweather is 15-0-0. That does not include all title fights with everyone, these are only the fights against other title holders (current/future title holders).
The thing is, if anyone says either guy is way ahead of the other guy in All Time rankings then they are not looking at this rationally at all and are judging it on who their favourite fighter is, because it is simply impossible for either guy to be way ahead.
I have Mayweaher ahead because he is undefeated, fought more champions, dominated a single division and, in my opinion, fought more prime champions. That's it, no hate, no nothing, just a simple opinion based on looking at each guy, knowing their fights and whole careers.Comment
