Who would Floyd have to beat to catch Manny on the all time list?

[deliveryman]

Beat Manny Pacquiao in dominating fashion.

[Cash Cow]

At 32 does he have the time or the quality of opponents to catch up and overhaul Manny's achievements? are the fights even out there for him?

Discuss.

This is Manny Pacquiao's Promoter Bob Arum on Floyd Mayweather:

"Floyd is the best fighter i’ve seen in 40 years other than the young Muhammad Ali, there are a number of aspects that make a great fighter. One is speed. His speed is phenomenal. The way he throws punches, phenomenal. The way he is conditioned, phenomenal. I mean, he’s the entire whole package. And beside all of those skills he’s the most intelligent fighter that I have ever seen. I mean, Floyd, this is no bull****; Floyd can see a punch coming before the other guy knows he’s going to throw it. Do you understand that? I mean, I have never seen such ring intelligence that Floyd demonstrates. And so he’s the whole package, and you know, Ray Leonard was a great fighter, Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, Duran certainly was great, Oscar had a couple of years where he was very good, but there’s nobody that is a whole package like Floyd."

Uh oh, he called me son. Now he's serious.

Nah,never too serious! I will let you know when I get serious enough to join a group like the mayweather mafia!

[Roger Mellie]

That's exactly what I thought when I read that.

You can't blame the guy, i mean he claims to be a true boxing fan yet didn't know Mayweather fought Oscar for the WBC belt at 154 already. He probably thinks Pacquiao's first weight class was 140.

Are you a f.ucking idiot? I never said floyd had never won a belt at 154,now did I?

[baracuda]

basically!!!!

floyd needs hell of a lot more than that......no one outside these boards are comparing him to ali,armstrong,robinson,......he has'nt even been put in the same sentece with those guys..........pac has 3 fights ago....

[Cash Cow]

Not true. Floyd doesn't gain all of Manny's achievements by beating him. You have to consider each fighters' entire body of work. Manny is already higher up the list and would remain so, even in defeat to Mayweather.

LMAO!!..GTFOH

Manny is supposed to be the best fighter this era...unstoppable.....etc etc....and Mayweather is a fraud and a runnner...so if Mayweather beats him it doesnt Matter?

Manny was 34-2 across Asia (those 2 losses were by knock out) before he STEPPED foot on US soil

^^his record was heavily padded in Asia man

how are we measuring who is greater here?

[Kevin Jesus]

Are you a f.ucking idiot? I never said floyd had never won a belt at 154,now did I?

No but you agree that he needs a belt at 154 in order to be on Pacquiao's level.

Promoters are well known to be among the biggest bull****ters in the sport,and say things for effect. Dont suppose you are aware of that though,not being a boxing fan and all.

this was before he has seen manny pacquiao..........he was floyd's daddy back then........you wouldnt hear that from bert sugar,larry merchant, emmanuel steward or jim lampley, would you?....lol

[DA1CATAS]

If he KO's manny ... He'll be undefeated still after fighting atleast 3-4 hall of famers.....He would easily beat cotto... easily beat hatton again.. Easily beat everyone pacman has beat... so I don't understand the value difference?

Would you really wanna see cotto get beat down?...Who else has pacman fought that you think puts pacman ahead of him while he's still undefeated?
