    There is no way in hell you can rank Mayweather above Manny in the ATG list. Mayweather is a better fighter than Manny, but Manny is fighting everyone and winning inn spectacular style. If Mayweather puts his skills to the test against the best and fights lets say Manny, Mosley and Williams, then we can put him higher than Manny. Until then Mayweather will be playing second fiddle to Manny.
    Mayweather is the greater talent, Manny ranks ahead as the greater fighter.

      Ha. "Err go" indeed. No you just didn't understand it.

        Doesnt really make sense this comment. You judge talent on who you was able to beat. How is PBFs talent being judged? Because its not on who hes beat! If he was talented, he would have beat DLH and Hatton more convincinly!
        Just becaue he cares so much about not getting hit, he is considered talented?

          I think this is going to be the case...This fight will be made, as the promoters job is to make it...both fighters want it, fot legacy and business.

            What exactly was there for me not to understand? You don't even know what you're saying now.

                last time I went training. the first thing we learn when we throw a jab, is to cover up your FACE with your shoulder.


                just because pac goes in a trades like a maniac and gets his ear drum ruptured, doesn't mean he is more talented then Floyd... then again that probably explains the 3 losses and 2 draws on Pacquiaos record.


                Boxing, to hit and not get hit...

                and when he fought Hatton, people said Mayweather didn't have the power to knock him out.

                I thought twice, that left hook Floyd landed was more impressive then any punch in Pacquiaos career INCLUDING his hail mary against hatton.

                  It makes sense if you can decipher context. In fact you could infer from my previous comments that I am in agreement with your post, I think you jumped the gun and posted before you thought it through.

                  What I was saying is that Mayweather is naturally gifted in terms of his boxing skills, he has yet to test those skills in the weight division where he currently resides (welterweight), contrast that with Manny who puts both his skill and will to the test each and every time he enters the ring. Seems to me as if you were just looking for something to disagree with.

                    He didn't get his eardrum ruptured, he got his cartilage ruptured which is a superficial wound and very common.
