Comments Thread For: Roach on Mayweather's 50-0 Run: Pacquiao Had Better Quality of Wins

[STREET CLEANER]

The more Canelo and Pac win the better Floyd will look. It is as simple as that.

Floyd sonned Pac.

That will always be in the history books and no one can ever change it.

Manny is naturally smaller, yet he's been fighting at 147 for over 10 years despite the fact that it's his 7th division where he became champion. Pacquiao said the heaviest he's been since the Thurman fight was 152. He gives up so much weight. Mayweather refused the fight night weigh in, yet he claims he weighed himself before the fight and he was lighter than Pacquiao. They're the 2 best of their era, but I think I may give the edge to Pacquiao.

The fact that Floyd beat Canelo and Pacquiao tell you something about his overall skill level.

I think Mayweather is clearly more skilled than Pacquiao and they both have great resumes, but Pacquiao is aging like Hopkins did. Pacquiao is still at a high level, so overall, I think Pacquiao is a better ATG boxer, this doesn’t mean Pacquiao is better than Floyd however. Because head to head, I think Floyd would beat Pacquiao 9 out of 10 times.

Ah shit! Here comes another 700 page thread. Thank God, I chose to remain above the fray without choosing sides. I chose to stay above the fray back in 2009 through 2015 and I am choosing to remain above the fray now because I admire and respect both fighter's achievements and contributions to the sport of boxing.

"Take nothing away from Floyd, no one ever beat him, but if you did a little digging into when he fought a lot of them, I think you will see a difference overall in the quality of Manny's victories."

Who beat Oscar first? Who beat Hatton first? Who beat Mosely first? Who fought Corrales? Who fought Zab? Who fought Canelo? Who beat Pacquiao?

You could also make an argument about the way Pacquaio beat Oscar and Hatton compared to how Floyd beat them. Pacquaio destroyed them, Floyd didn't.

Pacquiao is the former flyweight champion, who was about to step in with the best welterweight in the world. At 42 years old!!!!!!

That my friend says all that needs to be said!

Styles make fights and Floyd's got that running and ducking style down pat.

The thing is Floyd started at 130 and fought twice at a full 154, which is extremely rare and impressive, especially considering, like Manny, he didn’t do it in Broner/Duran food/alcohol way but just naturally getting bigger and beating bigger opponents.
