does a victory over the other proves anything?

[Joe2608]

Pac's resume is superior to Mayweather's. A fight would definatley settle who's style works against the other. I'm not sure how far it goes in terms of greatness. Obviously whoever beats the other man will go down as the better fighter as it does these days. However, i kind of disagree. Manny started at Flyweight and i believe his best times/wins are past him. Not to discredit Mayweathers win, if he wins, it's a good win, but Pac's much smaller. Also, his resume in the lower weights is damn impressive and deserves greatness on it's own.

I agree with the fab four thing, as in when time passes, you won't look at who beat who, but you will look at their acheivements excluding that. Single wins do not give you greatness.

i mean manny pacquiao vs floyd myweather jr...

does a victory over the other really settles the question of who is greater?

look at hagler & hearns... both beat roberto duran, but manos de piedra is almost always ahead of these two (even sugar ray leonard) in any credible all-time list...

same with pryor & arguello...

what say you people?

it proves that one beat the other which is always good to know
