And their opponents have changed their stances multiple times. Your original statement was



    which is clearly false.
    I think close to experience is the most accurate, time fades things. Its not false all the evidence is not in I know there is a JMM interview saying as I stated.

    Greater and Better are two different descriptions that's why none picked Manny to win when they fought, that's connecting dots, I never once said greater although arguably that is as well as they both are great, I said best fighter.

      That Oscar vid is older than his 2018 interview. Hatton has gone back and forth. The fact is both their common opponents have said one or the other is the best they've faced, it's not a clear cut answer like you made it out to be.
      Pretty sure it’s clear cut. They have all said it - what more do you want?

        All your interviews say GOAT or greatest though. The ring magazine question is literally BEST overall fighter you've faced.

          If it's clear cut than why do some say Manny was the best?

              Why did they all pick Floyd to win if they think Manny is better.

                Could be his size. Could be they thought he wasn't in his prime like Oscar said. Could be the styles.

                    Well they've already said otherwise.

                    Who has the advantage in the May 2 Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao superfight? Let's ask the five men who have shared the ring with both fighters.


                    And they didn't even all pick Mayweather. Cotto was noncommittal and so was Marquez.

                      Could be they think Floyd is a better fighter head to head.
