Who has defeated more fighters in their PRIME: Mayweather or Pacquiao?

+1. At 130 n 135 I was a big nuthugger. I also liked the 'pretty boy' moniker more. He showed his heart, passion and killer instinct. 140, 147 n 154 are another story. I reallyt feel that after the Gatti fight, floyd knew his name had arrived. With that came money. From that point on he became a business/money fighter entirely. Highest reward, lowest risk. Don't get me wrong good for him, ****ty for fans. There isn't a floyd fan on here who wouldnt want to see him have fought guys like tszyu, cotto, mosley, winky, etc.
He begged guys like I said before for the limelight. Even Gatti - he begged him about a year... he begged Mosley... but they ain't wanted it. He wanted Cotto at 140 etc. He also wanted to fight Tzsyu... but as he was at 140 Tszyu had knee problems and finally lost to Hatton... you can't always blame everything on him... besides of Margarito... everybody else is two sided sword... Wright was never really in his wingspan...
As he came to Welterweight Judah held 3 titles and Margarito one... these were the champions... Cotto and Mosley ain't even fought at WW until he fought DLH and Hatton... and everybody who could get DLH would and anybody near Hatton wants Hatton... so I can't blame him for finally wanting to arrive in the limelight... he payed his dues... he was P4P king for years and nobody knew about him...
So in the end I have the feeling that his resume at 47 is some kind of lacking something... but when you look at the facts... it's pretty hard to argue with his decisions if you ask me...Comment

You seem to be a guy who is not blind and actually makes sense... even though you are a Pacquiao fan *loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool*
I don't see why you should hate on guys or their resumes...
I think the first Barrera win was ansolutely legit... I mean was he in his prime who knows... he was in wars... but then you could say about anyone else as well... the second Barrera fight was nothing because Barrera only wanted to survive IMO but the first one was great.
The first two matches against Morales were great... again if he was past it you still have to beat it out of him... the third one was clearly too late.
Against Marquez I felt he won both fights and they are absolutely legit as well.
Hatton could be still seen as best at 140... and Cotto was one of the best WW so these ones are absolutely legit and against top competition. I don't know much of his lower weight history... but these are the ones that a 100% legit in my mind.
Mayweather fought very good opposition at 130... Corrales, Hernandez (toward the end of his career), Jesus Chavez, Manfredy. Later on Castillo... later on Hatton... so I think Manny has bigger names but the whole body of work of Mayweather equals it pretty much.
Like said before I think Mayweather fought more champions and Pacquiao won titles in more weight divisions... both are the most decorated boxers of our time (with the exception of DLH) and they should fight for all the marbles... I'm excited to tell you the truth and hope this **** finally gets signed *looooooooooooooooooooool*
And, I am a Pac fan. He is my favorite active fighter. But, I love the sport more than any particular fighter. So I really try to keep it unbiased and just talk as a boxing fan. I know me people consider me a hater. But, I really don't hate on nobody. I just try to make my points as a boxing fan and not as a fan of a fighter.Comment

But, as a boxing fan I really don't like it. I want the best fighting the best. I don't want to hear excuses as his not big enough name, not a big enough draw, doesn't bring nothing to the table. That is what I don't like as a boxing. I want the best to fight the best. I don't care if it is a smart business move or not.Comment

To a degree I agree... because actually I thought that too for a while that he should have fought better opposition... but again if you look at it there was pretty much no chance for it.
He begged guys like I said before for the limelight. Even Gatti - he begged him about a year... he begged Mosley... but they ain't wanted it. He wanted Cotto at 140 etc. He also wanted to fight Tzsyu... but as he was at 140 Tszyu had knee problems and finally lost to Hatton... you can't always blame everything on him... besides of Margarito... everybody else is two sided sword...
