Who did better against Floyd: Pacquiao or Maidana?

[djtmal]

True, its very hard to justify saying that at the time when floyd and pac fought it benefited pac more

It's no way you can say Manny was in his prime in 2015 although Iron Dan is trying in a roundabout way

[djtmal]

What does that have to do with what I asked you?

?

Focus on what I asked you was Manny shopworn in 2015

[Haka]

James toney says the same about floyd too, more people are being vocal about floyd now. Floyd wasnt subtle about what he was doing back then so it didn't need to have been spoken it is what it is back then.
But people are letting it be known more now, that you can't do what floyd did if you want to be great.

The floyd that fought maid ana was the same floyd that fought nelo, it's just how maidens fought floyd is how Nel o should have. Nel o would have in a rematch

Yes the slight of hand made possible by passing up on the WW iteration in the 00s.

Both best floyd arguably. But my aunty who I was watching fight with was pleading with ref to save Floyd from further punishment against the cruel maidana. Plus maidens got his rematch. So id say maidens did better.
Although floyd fans will say maidens fight was closer that's why he got rematch, whereas floyd was most likely scared of pac more and took money and ran from pac. Quit whilst ahead so to speak

Neither had a shot to beat him, but Maidana was closest. Pac's style was nowhere near the a mismatch for Floyd like Maidana's was. Watching both fights back, they aren't anywhere as close as some people make them out to be.

Then you go and say Floyd wasn’t shopworn in 2015

.

Floyd was cherrypicking.

He wasn't shopworn in 2015 just like Holmes wasn’t shopworn when Spinks beat him 2x

You say Manny wasn’t in his prime, then you say he was p4p 2 and all this other crap like he is prime, so which one is it.

[djtmal]

Pacquaio wasn’t in his prime in 2015 but he was still the 2nd best fighter in the world l.

So is he the 2nd best fighter in the world or is he shopworn because he can't possibly be both now can he. Or are you on boxrec too long again

[djtmal]

Erm yes actually you can be both.

No you can't how can a shopworn fighter be arguably the best fighter in the world unless you listen to boxrec like you do

[djtmal]

So Mayweather and Holmes weren’t shopworn at ages 36-38

Ha what exactly did they do to become shopworn they were both undefeated no tough grueling fights smooth sailing all the way

[djtmal]

Firstly, Pacquaio WAS P4P #2 at that time.

He was ranked #2 by who your cousins in Michigan who looking to set up a cherrypick payday.

Who is doing this ranking

Or is this another case of legit boxing historians who remain nameless

[SouthpawRight]

He was ranked #2 by who your cousins in Michigan who looking to set up a cherrypick payday.

Who is doing this ranking

Well no he was actually ranked P4P #2 in 2015 by The Ring Magazine.

You know, those official boxing rankings that have been used for over 100 years?
