SERGIO MARTINEZ: "Mayweather is better than Pacquiao."

[Devils Advocate]

I still like Martinez.

Nobody can tell if either is better than the other until they fight.

At least he's willing to fight!!! Thats half the battle right there

[-MAKAVELLI-]

not necessarily because of the context of the second question isn't clear. Ellie asked him who he had between Pacquiao and Mayweather if they ever fought and he replied Floyd because Floyd is better. But does Martinez rate him higher on the p4p list? On the ATG list? Who knows. Do cucumbers taste better pickled?

actually yes...throw some pepper on em and you've got a nice little snack

[Cash Cow]

I think the only people who would disagree are hardcore Pacquiao fans. Floyd is obviously the better fighter, but Pacquiao is the "greater" fighter in terms of legacy.

greater legacy by fighting guys on the down slide?

[Gutz]

I still like Martinez.

truth right here..

[Horus]

I honestly feel Manny is a better fighter than Floyd, but Floyd is greater in certain aspect and vice versa with Manny.

Defense-Floyd
Technical-Floyd
Counterpunching Floyd
Footwork-Floyd (but Manny is closing the distance fast)
Footspeed -Manny
Handspeed-Manny
Power-Manny
Offense-Manny
Ring IQ-Floyd
Controlling Distance-Floyd
Putting combo's together-Manny
Accuracy-Manny
Effecientcy-Floyd
Stamina-Even
Corner-Manny
Adjustments-Floyd (but having Roach helps Manny alot)
Heart-Manny
Chin-????

That's just off the dome and there are other areas in which I could break down, but aren't coming to mind yet.

Absolutely not. Floyd is the most Accurate fighter in BOXING HISTORY.
And most definitely in the last 30 years.
Pacquiao is not even top 5 in top category.


These are facts, supported by numbers, tape, and history.

Floyd is better then him and its not even close. Two completely different levels of fighters. All you have to do is watch the tape.

no he is not, but if you feel that way....cool.

The problem with you guys is that you try to force your opinions on other people and get mad because people don't believe what you say. If there was some type of fact or if it was obvious, then I could see. Bottom line is both are great but the difference is Pac has proven it against truly great fighters, while Floyd has proven it against good fighters. It's easy to look good against an opponent is average to good vs fighters who are considered among greatest of this era.

I knew this would get you hot...lol but I truly believe he is. I would go into detail but I gotta bounce. Remind me on your show and I will break down why I said that.

FWIW it's just my opinion on how I see things...but I can break down why I see it that way..just not now....peace

he has a breakdown you don't...keep trolling

[Horus]

Mayweather and Pacquiao fight in the same weight class, and both are in their prime.

So here is the question.

Why is that Pacquiao if he fought Mayweather today would be a underdog?
When the fight was agreed to in November..

Pacquiao was close to being a 3 to 1 underdog. the same as Hatton, Marquez, and De la hoya.


Why is it that if Pacquiao is consider better than Floyd.
He would be a almost a 3 to 1 under against Mayweather

btw...numbers really can't tell the whole story when it comes to accuracy. Effeciency maybe, but not accuracy.
