    Best win? I don't know. I've seen an Oscar shout and that's a good shout. Canelo in his prime, the equivalent of Floyd against Corrales, while Floyd being Bernard Hopkins age? That was special as well. Shane Mosley off the dismantling of Margarito is a fan's favorite because he stood right in front of Mosley and beat him up. Maidana twice was a great fight.

    I guess it just depends on your criteria of great. It's very subjective tbh.
    Here why I see 9-3’ing manny as Floyd’s greatest win

    it proved Floyd is in a whole different stratosphere from his rival manny

    as good as manny was he didn’t beat a very great fighter.

    Floyd did and he did it easily

    all the other guys who did beat manny had to go through hell to do so.

    Floyd was so good he made manny into a sparring match

    Floyd schooling manny put Floyd well ahead of his contemporaries

    seeing two top 30 ATGs go at it is rare enough let alone the winner giving the other guy a boxing lesson too

      When you think that the next generation who was supposed to be an elite welter, Thurman, couldn't do it, it's even more of a big accomplishment. Think about it would anyone have picked Manny over Thurman after his loss to Floyd, would anyone pick hm to drop and dominate him? That's how good Floyd was how he was levels above these welterweights today, except maybe bud, but I'd still favor Floyd over bud.

        If the packtaRdds still can't believe it, it still hasn't sunk in yet, so therefore it is TBD . Once it has been completely absorbed, it will go down as his greatest win imo lol. But it is still up for discussion yet because fanboys are still rewatching the fight and being biased about how they score their rounds!

          Yep

          and Floyd was at the end of his career when he schooled manny

          making the win even better

          manny would go onto have another 5 years

            Manny was past his prime no matter how many ways you try to excuse Floyd for being too scared to fight him when he was in his prime.

            Floyds best wins were the guys he beat in their prime Hatton and Corrales, but we know those aren't all time great fighters so you need Mannys name to give Floyds garbage resume at welterweight some more credibility.

              Floyd was on illegal ivs for the fight.

              Manny had only one arm

              ​​​​​​Punch stats were 120 - 69 in favor of manny.


              ​​​No one with an ounce of common sense would even consider this a legitimate win.

                  Floyd Mayweather threw 435 punches to Manny Pacquiao's 429. 'Money' landed 148 of those at 34% accuracy, while 'Pac-Man' landed 81 at 19% accuracy. Both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have always had incredible jabs. However, 'Money' was in a different league during the fight.Jul 27, 2021

                  "The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight. That does not make sense to me why anyone would do that. These accusations of me using any performance enhancing supplements are totally unwarranted and unjustified.''

                    It speaks volumes about Floyd's ability and the state of boxing right now considering these are still relevant topics. Is there not any other fighter active that we can talk about besides Floyd ***ing Mayweather

                      Manny was past his prime.
