    No, look at that punch count on Youtube. Manny has beaten him.

    Also Fraud did not really fight against Manny. He tried to turn it into a stinker but it backfired.

      No. Pac was smaller, out of prime, injured, and floyd had the advantage style-wise. I'd say Chico was Floyd's best win.

      If Pac beat Floyd, it wouldn't be Pac's best win either. It still goes to his first fight against Barrera IMO.

      Both fought out of prime versions of each in an overhyped sparring session

        Well that's the funny part. Which is it? He's too small and juiced to fight in all those divisions or he's actually bigger than we thought? I've been preaching that to deaf ears forever. Pac would rehydrate from 126lbs to nearly 140lbs during his featherweight days. He was always within the realm of WW but he wasn't in fact an actual WW. At his best it probably would of been 140lbs. His 146lbs version was pushing all the food he could while trying to stay at 146lbs. The actual WWs would rehydrate to around 155+lbs on fight night. No way would Pac ever go over 150lbs on his best day of stuffing his face.

        The reality is he was probably a bigger than average featherweight (other featherweights rehydrate up to 140lbs too though...) but truly a smaller WW. I can't find a WW he looked bigger than during his matches at 147lbs. So you're telling me then that a guy who started out naturally bigger (Jr.) and grew a lot easier into a larger frame couldn't put on a better performance against the naturally smaller, injured, out of prime Pac? Something doesn't jive there... At least he got the "W" right.

            Yea because Canelo’s has an asterisk.

            He was 23 and it was at a catchweight…garbage.

            Imagine Canelo fighting Ennis. LAST YEAR and beating him, **** wouldn’t count because he’s too green.

            Pac wasn’t even prime anymore when they fought (neither was Floyd) but I guess that’s his best win.

              I think Pac and Floyd were roughly the same size. Neither of them put a lot of weight in their 147 days. Floyd weighed 150 when he fought Oscar. Can you really say Jr was much bigger?

                Yes, theres lots of things to take into consideration to conclude someones best wins. Floyd fans try simplify things when things arent simple. Pacs got best resume out of everyone Floyds fought, so in floyd fans opinions Pac must be floyds best win?
                Pac could well be floyds best win, but thats only cos floyds got a weak resume. The Pac win dont qualify as a great win, even if it was Floyds best win.

                  Pacquiao is his Greatest win Financially but it's tough to put that as Floyd's biggest win "competitively" considering Manny was KO'd bad by Marquez not too long before. I get the arguments that Floyd was old too, but again, would you still consider it Floyd's best win in his entire career? I still think all things considered Corralles is his greatest win.
