Manny fans: do you still rank him above Mayweather?

Since manny fighting better boxers as that’s how resumes are decided. It’s universally accepted to most in boxing manny has a better resume
Floyd for sure is the better boxer but picked his foes wisely and avoiding some at their best to keep that 0 safe which is also universally accepted by most. Margarito, Mosley, Pac-Man, Williams and more across his career Floyd either avoided or chose to wait until fighters declined. Pac-Man on the other hand has wins earlier on his career that Floyd cannot match, full stop.
I understand as a Floyd fan, this must sound insane to you lol so it’s all good bro
True or false? Mosley could have fought Floyd in 2005 or 2006, but was saying something about getting a tooth fixed?
True or false? Many Pacquiao, with a $50 million dollar gurantee, 50/50 purse split, agreed to, refused to sign the contract because he didn't want to be subjected to random blood testing 21 days out from the fight?
You could argue Paul Williams, I guess, but what big welterweight fights did Paul get? Did Manny fight him?
Floyd's resume is deeper than Manny's. He fought better versions of Mosley, Hatton, De la Hoya and you could argue Cotto. Dominated Marquez and fought a host of other champions from 130-154, including Canelo.Last edited by Gary Coleman; 08-22-2021, 05:02 PM.Comment

True or false? Floyd had Margarito and Cotto fights lined up with Top Rank before Arum wouldn't give Floyd his desired guarantee for De la Hoya, leading to Floyd buying out his contract?

Shanes tooth excuse is actually funny
Both Manny and Floyd failed in the first negotiations.
How come noone brings up the mighty Baldomir! LolComment

True or false, Both Mayweather and Pacquiao f up the negotiation in the 1st bout dont make excuses for your bf.
Floyd's resume is not deeper. Mosley, Delahoya, and Cotto were shot to pieces when he fought them.
Hatton was his best win but it was in the 147 division.
Pac's resume is outstanding with Barrera, Morales, JMM. Those are 3 mexican legends who dominated the featherweight division.
Add to the fact that he won 5 lineal and 8 division titles.
Then you have icing in the cake with Thurman, Cotto, Hatton (in his division).
Pac has a legendary/all time great career while Floyd has an great career.Last edited by rocky_balboa23; 08-22-2021, 11:43 PM.Comment

How could Pac have a better résumé if Floyd has Pac on his résumé?? Pac fans never let a little thing like the truth change their narrative.
So if the truth can’t help, then sentiment will be the next best thing.
There isn’t a single win on Pacs record that Floyd wouldn’t walk away with the win against. Period.
No he didn’t lose to Maidana, Cotto, Oscar, Conor, Pacquiao or Castillo. He beat all of them. Goodness these people are insane.Comment

LMAO Son why hinge on the achievements of a cheater? He called out Antonio Margarito and they turned the fight down didn’t they?
He asked Bob Arum, and Arum told espn himself that he wasn’t willing to make that fight or the Cotto fight. Let it go.Comment

Mayweather's equivalent of Pac's featherweight run (JMM, Morales, Barrera) was supposed to be prime Cotto, Plaster Marga, Williams, Mosley, Maravilla.
If only he fought them in during the period when WW was too hot. Instead he invited 140 king Hatton which was Mayweather best wins.Comment

Where did Floyd fail in the original negotiations? Everything in the fight was agreed to aside from the blood testing. They originally offered Manny a 7 day cutoff and ended up dropping it all the way to 21 days - 3 weeks - before the fight. He still wouldn't sign.
Believe it or not, Baldomir was lineal champ at the time and Floyd was paid a few dollars higher for that fight than he would have gotten for Margarito.Comment
