Pac has without a shadow of a doubt fought the better competition, maybe if floyd had been fighting fighters of the same caliber as marquez, barrera, and morales he would have some close decisions also.
People are forgetting that floyd has arguably lost also against castillo. Even the second fight with castillo was fairly close though floyd clearly won. I get the point about erik 3rd fight he was shot. But the 2nd fight you gotta give manny some credit he made adjustments and ko'd a slightly...and I emphasize SLIGHTLY over the hill erik. I have to say though marquez, and morales are two of the very best fighters of their era and even a slightly past it versions of both fighters are better than anything floyd has fought pound 4 pound, the only fighter that comes close is 34 year old Oscar who although was still very good, I believe he had lost his hunger and his legs looked old in that fight.
So to sum up...I would say manny has fought the better competition mainly down to the big 3. But Floyd has probably accomplished a little more, as of now, but I think a few chapters are still to written in both fighters careers starting may 2nd.
