    Triangle theory will not apply.

    But in all fairness Manny is in his prime. A lot of those fighters weren't.

    I guess it would be like Morales being ranked higher than Barrera, now i have my own reservations about this but i know a lot of people think that even though MAB beat him 2x that Morales is rated higher because he beat Manny and Junior Jones.

    In their eyes he has a better resume, so they tend to disregard the head to head's.

      Horus is one of those guys that talks **** but when you make a point he has no answers for he pretends he did not hear it and carry's on debating a point he can!! argue.
      Yeah, if you are talking non-sense and later on encounter an intellectual exchange of views & reasoning, you will end up speechless and grasping air. Coz you don't have any clue on what to say or exchange with what these people are discussing is all about. And then you will QUIT!

        Manny is p4p # 1 and has a great resume and has looked the best he ever has at 140-147. May vs Pac is the biggest fight maybe in all of boxing history and in reality, no one really cares if "you" are going to give Floyd credit.
        He deserves credit for taking on the number 1 fighter who has looked unstoppable and winning.

          I've read a few of his opening posts, but then just laugh and let everyone else talk ****.
          There used to be a guy on here called Diego Fuego or something like that, he was a bit like Horus.

          Racist and absolutely obsessed with Mayweather lol

              RIght now I think there resumes are pretty competitive, with an edge to Manny for his recent accomplishments. If Floyd wins it vaults him above Manny all time, because that is the way history will remember it. Heads up, all the chips in the pot, best vs best and whoever comes out on top is better.

                its seems as though you are valuing your opinion more highly than the boxing public, who WILL give Floyd credit for beating Manny, becasue he deserves it.

                  Yeah, I agree with you.

                  But isn't MAB lost to Jones? And where JMM would be against these 2?

                    I dont take issue with someone making the arguement that they feel Manny still has better legacy even if he loses to Floyd. I do take issue though with the idea Floyd doesnt get as much much props. People make the arguement that he doesnt fight the best. Well Manny is not only the best but also the most dangerous challenge out there physically. Whoever wins should get mad props. I can see Mayweather going 12 with mosley without taking his best shot, im not so sure that can happen against pac. And if it does that alone deserves props. Anyone who can beat a history making ATG in his prime should get massive props even if your last name is Mayweather.

                      Ali lost to Frazier, does Frazier ranked higher against Ali?
