    It doesn't really work like that though, does it.

    When two fighters are of similar age and competing at the same time "doing" counts more than "thinking".

    They fought when both were past their best. Mayweather won fairly easily.

    "Thinking" doesn't change that.

    Would them having fought five years earlier have resulted in a different result in a single fight, rematch or trilogy? Who knows? It's hypothetical or opinion.

    Also it's worth considering that there may be just as many people think Mayweather would have won a rematch or trilogy. Again, doesn't make it so.

    Thinking doesn't change doing.

      Technically, there are quite a few fighters better than Pacquiao 'When you compare skill for skill'.

      His pure boxing ability is what probably drops him down in rankings.

      But yes? Both Mayweather and Pacquiao are maybe ranked in the top-25-20 fighters of all-time.

        Pretty Boy Floyd was cool but Money Mayweather was garbage. Fought nothing but slow, flat footed, short armed c fighters and still needed every conceivable advantage just to get in the ring. Had all the potential to be a true top ten all time great but eh only did the bare minimum.

            As Jeff said in his interview its all BS and everybody has their own opinion about the best ever nothing is official except Floyd beat Manny in the ring head to head in cruise control and schooled guys that put Manny to sleep Floyd beat everyone including the worlds best current fighter Canelo, as to who is the best fighter Floyd beats Manny every day of the weak from 130 to 154.

            GOAT is a fan argument nothing more why you fools place so much weight on hypothetical BS is beyond my comprehension, it's like your fantasy world is somehow supposed to override the real world, maybe when you get older you will realize that.
            You are really ******. You wonder why “fools place so much weight on hypothetical..” when you are the one who is always here and so emotional in defending your master. He must pay you well. At least try to just debate the issues instead of attacking the person you disagree with.

              Yes had the potential but had to resort to getting all the advantages - where to fight, gloves, lidocaine, IVs. And yet fought with excessive clinching and running. Makes you wonder hiow his record would be without all of those.

                Both are nailed down in that top 10. Where they sit is all a big debate, Floyd beat Manny but Manny seems to of achieved greater things in most ppls opinions. I don't really care myself as long as both are recognised as the greats that they are.

                  Yes, but who was willing to prove they'd win rematch or triology. It's Floyd who wants to leave asterix.
                  So Floyd fans wanting his one controversial win to count for more than.it does leaves bad taste in mouth because if you applied same logic to 100 + years of boxing it don't work.

                    Faulty Analysis.

                    No mention of manny's injury and the fact that floyd only faced one-armed manny.

                    No mention of floyd's illegal IV.

                    No mention of manny conclusively outlanding floyd, complemented by the fact that he also easily landed the hardest punches in the fight.

                      Thats a good way of looking at it. Sometimes its easier to list the few that are better than the many that arent as good
