      Floyd already beat most of the biggest names on Manny's resume, Hatton, JMM, and ODLH. I will tell you one thing PBF wouldn't have lost to singsurat, or torrecampo. Nobody but Cotto have a chance on Pac's resume to beat PBF. Nobody believes Barrera, or Morales could've beat PBF because stylistically they would've been outclassed. So the only boxer you can say on there is maybe Cotto that's it.

        True but a prime Castillo, Diego Corrales or Hernandez would be nightmares for Pacquiao just to mention 3. I also think the 154 pound version of Oscar, the one Floyd fought would have given Manny more problems. On the other hand a fighter like Zab Judah would probably be easier for Manny than it was for Floyd.

          there is a reason why coach roach didnt take the mosley fight, and turned it down twice. pacquiao will engage with mosley and take some punches (he isn't defensive like floyd), and mosley has a great chin, if mosley can connect on pacquiao (which he will IMO) then he knocks him out, if pacquiao took the punch floyd did he would have got atleast knocked down if not knocked out, remember mosley wont get discouraged as he will land often because pacquiao isnt elusive like floyd. when mosley landed on margarito, vargas, and mayorga he was encouraged, and these guys are like huge welterweights mosley knocked out, more like light middleweights.
          Corrales would most likely get ko'd against Pacquiao
          The mosley floyd fought would also get stopped by Pacquiao

          I haven't seen enough of castillo, or the floyd castillo fight to judge on that though.

          FYI, Pacquiao's chin is twice of that of Floyds. No hate, just if you dont see that, it's obviously hate clouding your judgement.

            What do you mean? Do you have special powers to know who voted for who? Because, in case you missed it, the poll is anonymous.

              Yep I think Manny would've destroyed Zab easier than Floyd and probably beat the tar out of Baldomir. Gatti would've given Manny some problems though. Just because Gatti could take huge amounts of punishment and keep fighting. That's the only reason Gatti was so popular because he would trade with anybody. A good brawler but a average boxer.

                I guarantee you, no one knows Pacquiao better than Roach. Roach is quoted ON VIDEO saying Mosley, the one Floyd fought, was too good for Pacquiao. Fact. The rest is just opinion. Corrales was a beast and Pacquiao is easy to hit. He had more power than anyone Pacquiao fought. Think Duran vs Hearns.

                  I don't know how you can say that Pac got KO'd by two body shots. Floyd has been KO'd never. Actual facts of reality, I don't know where you are getting these assumptions from.

                    Manny does well with short stacked come forward guys.... Don't get me wrong, Floyd does too but Manny really takes those kinds out. The thing is, Floyd is more versatile and can fight brawlers AND boxers, tall guys AND short guys, bigger guys AND smaller guys... I really think he's the best of my era, but that's just my opinion too, not trying to sell it to anyone.

                      That's the sad part, we can't see who voted for yes..

                      Floyd is really really good.

                      But I can't imagine Floyd being that good at age 22-24 in the super bantamweight division. He can't squeeze in at 122 w/ the same level;
                      he'll gassed out before the championship rounds...
