    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.
    I disagree with that one.

      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
      Mike... My dude wave the white flag on this one.

      I will argue with anyone the in terms of Accuracy. Mayweather is the greatest fighter to ever live.

      His Accuracy is better than his defense in my opinion.

          Mayweather is by far the better technician of the 2. I do believe Floyd has more trouble with Southpaws than Orthodox fighters tho and Manny also happens to be fast, strong and have a tremendous workrate. If Floyd doesnt show up 100% and ready to let his hands go Manny can beat him.

            Pacquiao is not even top 5 in top category.


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

            Well....maybe since the use of Compubox, I won't dispute that.

            But can you really say in the entire history of the sport?

            I'm not trying to start a flame war, Horus. Just asking a legit question.

              the more you throw punches the lesser rate of accuracy...potshotting is a good tool for accuracy though

                they're both counter punchers and thinkers in the ring so of course Martinez is naturally going to think Floyd is the more complete and better rounded fighter

                  It's interesting how most (not all) of the pro's side with the guy who most fits in with their personal boxing tutelage and ideals. Like, the more athletic, "thinking fighters" usually say Floyd's the best and applaud his craftsmanship, while the blood and guts macho guys admire Pac's ferocity. It's basically which you prefer; the finely tuned, inch-perfect technical mastery of Floyd or the unadulterated, hurricane-like ferociousness of Manny.

                  Well, until they fight each other and actually prove which is superior.

                    Mayweather is better defensively but thats about it.

                    Pacquiao is the overall more dynamic fighter in every regard.

                    If that fight happens though, Pac will be at a size disadvantage since he's not a real WW and Floyd could easily fight at 54'.

                      Like I said...I'll break down why I believe so. Am I right? maybe not but I have my reasons for saying this. I might say it's even after a discussion but as of right now..I still say pac is more accurate.
