Better win on Floyd's resume: Pacquiao or Canelo?

[JTfloyd]

Canelo is easily the better win, at the time, or in retrospect. Pac could've fought Floyd in March 2010, but he suddenly got "scared of needles" and avoided doing random blood tests which...he ended up agreeing to when he finally decided to fight Mayweather 5 YEARS later, after getting his earning potential (and chin) dented by JMM. And even back in 2010, the people who picked Pac to beat Floyd had zero logic behind their choice, instead resorting to wishful thinking.

The version of Canelo that Floyd schooled (at the catch-weight CANELO suggested lest we forget) was more of a threat to Floyd than Pacquiao ever was, especially considering the size difference. Hell, there were some here who insisted that Floyd would never SIGN to fight Canelo at that time (much less beat him 9-3, which is very generous to Canelo), but coincidentally those very same posters then claimed the victory wasn't impressive for one reason or another, even though Floyd was around 36, giving up 15lbs in the ring, yet stood right in front of Canelo and arguably won every round.

pacquiao even past his prime (he wasnt completely shot like he was against ugas) is a much better win than canelo. canelo just nowhere near the level of them guys, never will be which is why an old mayweather beat him so easily, probably one of his easiest ever fights. the gap in skill level between the 147/154 fighters that mayweather was fighting was just light years ahead of the 168 slop that canelo is fighting, even someone like guerrero when he was undefeated was better level of boxer than likes of plant, saunders etc

Margarito.

And why was Fraud needing IV's anyway ? Wasn't he close to 147 as is always claimed ? So rehydration should be easy enough.

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

In 2010 Canelo was 31-0 STILL fighting at WW, Pac would olf MERCed him if they fought in Pac's prime. GTFO.

The win against Pacquiao is more noteworthy. Pacquiao wasn't a shot fighter yet so the win was legitimate.

Canelo on the other hand was still green and I give no credit to A level fighters beating under matched opponents

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 is my answer. I have voted on this poll.

What win was better for Floyd. Conor McGregor or Andre Berto

Berto win was......

[Amir Imam]

Has to be Canelo considering Pacquiao has losses to C level fighters like Jeff Horn and Sangsurat

Agreed, although even when they did fight in 2015, was anyone really impressed with that victory along with his illegal IV's to cover up his blatant cheating.
