Which is better for Boxing? A Mayweather or Pacquiao win? Ultimately which fighter's victory would have a more positive impact on the sport of boxing? Poll to follow, Please discuss.

I believe a clean win by either. Meaning no robbery. The boxing game is so full of underhandedness that all we need is the true winner, "the better man" wins.
NO ***** response, NO ******* response and no scorned Cottard response. Just a boxing fan.

An excellent point.

IF you really love Pac you need to root for him to lose.

No way he ends his career on a loss, and may even move up to snatch an unprecedented 8th title at 154. Or move down to 140 and fight Bradley.

Mayweather win is best for boxing.

[COACH WEBB]

Pacquiao win is good for boxing as Mayweather not setting a good example to our children.

you have to be kidding..I mean it crazy how Pac is setting a great example for our children, but the man cheated on his wife.

ya'll need to call a spade a spade and I don't like to get into ppl's personal lives but don't have these double standards when discussing these two fighters as being role models and all that. Real talk.

We have to also take into consideration the fact that Pacquiao had just come from lightweight when he fought Hatton, and DLH.

[COACH WEBB]

Pacquiao:

Cotto
Hatton
De La Hoya
Diaz
Marquez


Mayweather:

Hatton
De La Hoya
Baldomir
Judah
Mitchell
Gatti
Bruseles
Corley

Corley and Bruseles were not during his reign as P4P reign..he became P4P when Hop lost to Taylor the first time.

So Hatton-undefeated Champ at 140, that wanted to take Floyd's belt at 147
DLH- 154 Lb Champ
Baldo- 147 lb Lineal Champ although he had a bunch of losses
Judah- former 147 champ, lost his title to Baldo, but a largely demanded fight between the two
Gatti- 140 lb Wbc champ
Mitchell- southpaw at first fight at welter

Manny
Hatton- 140 LB Champ
DLH- 154 Lb Champ that hadn't fought at 47 in YEARS
Cotto- 147 lb WBO Champ that Manny fought at 145
Diaz- 135 Wbc Champ, although some say he was the not the best belt helder at 135
JMM- highly controversial fight

NOW, they are fighting each other.

there is NOTHING to complain about as a fan of boxing REGARDLESS of who your favorite fighter is.

I would pick Pacquiao as the better role model despite rumors of an affair.. however I don't think their abilities to be role models for children plays very heavily into what is better for boxing.

rumors of an affair...its public knowledge my friend.

I mean, we ought to forgive others for the mistakes they make and I'm all for that, but for ppl to only pick and choose what they will knock ppl for and what they choose to sweep under the rug, I can't ride with that. keep it 100 is how I feel. if one thing is wrong for this person, then another thing is wrong for that person.

The reality of the matter is that they are BOTH role models to some kids. All athletes are rather they believe it or not.

[rsheker]

I kinda of think that it goes to show that no matter who Floyd fights, he will always been looked at as not taking risks...but I mean, he is about to fight Pac right now but I guess that is not good enough for some ppl.

how can Pac be a risk, he is a one dimensional fighter and is on steroids, the olympic style testing will take mannys power come fight night, so it'll be a walk in the park of mayweather, no?
i thought this was an easy fight as mayweather claims....

Good question. Gotta be a Pac win because it sets up a rematch.
