    He waited YEARS to fight Pacquiao. Should of happened 5 years prior. Canelo, in my opinion, was a monster at the point he fought him and In my opinion, Floyd was getting old and past his prime.

      Oscar was by far Floyd's biggest win. A really great win.

      I give almost no credit to his win over Pac (I absolutely must have an illegal IV and you can't have a Toradol injection that you need for your fcked up shoulder) or Canelo, (in the ring 7 pounds under his previous fight night weight.)

        Alvarez.

        Mayweather was too far gone by the time he fought Pacquiao.

        Pacquiao should of really beaten him. If there would of been a immediate rematch, Pacquiao may have won.

        Floyd Mayweather had always been a physically strong fighter, this would catch fighters out. Fighters who expected to just bull him back.

        By the time Mayweather got to Pacquiao this strength had decreased. Mayweather won that fight, due to a superior tactical mind 'And executing his game plan from start to finish'.

        You would of expected Pacquiao to at least force Mayweather to adapt but no. From start to finish, the fight went exactly how Mayweather wanted it to go.

        Alvarez is the best win, even this Mayweather was way outside of his peak. The Mayweather who fought De La Hoya, would of stopped Alvarez.

        I have not voted on the poll.

        Note: Floyd Mayweather was more eroded than Pacquaio when they fought. Pacquaio really should of capitalized on this, but he did not have the skills to do so.

          Canelo went to a controversial SD against Lara only 10 months after his postgraduate education against Floyd.

          He was no "monster". Just another decent Mexican champ with a padded record full of cans.

            He couldn't stop Manny from saying no to extra testing, everything else he signed to and was ready to go, and Manny walked. What happened after that is anybody's guess as they both played games, but during that first negotiation with everything on the table Manny walked over-testing, so you cannot say he waited to long as he was ready 5yrs before they did fight.

              Canelo I guess. But one guy was pre-prime and one guy was post-prime. Granted Floyd was past it too.

                Pac put off the fight FOR YEARS and still got owned.
                Conjured up a GAF fable about some pre fight arm injury !!!
                Caused viewers to want to sue the tainted cnt !!!

                  Owning someone 14 years your jr is impressive.
                  That same Nelo would literally kill Pac.

                    I'd probably say the ODLH fight but Corrales was a helluva win too..I think Chico was undefeated and had blasted through some tough opponents. He completely dominated Corrales, dropping him multiple times.

                    While Alvarez was young, he was still green. Pacquiao on the other hand seemed shopworn or injured at the time. Pac had better nights after that but was still in decline IMO.
