If you wanted to go discrediting potential future opponents, what did you think about matthew hatton, saul alvarez, & nate campbell for floyd?Comment

Well it could work both ways though to be honest. The way I see it now is like apples to oranges. Though now I would put Pac as a greater boxer.
Pac fighting some of the fights Floyd ducked but at catch weights.
Pac fighting more boxers out of their prime while Floyd fought some good boxers in their prime.
Pac only really fighting one style while Floyd has fought a mix of styles.
That's just how I see it.
most ppl who comment on this issue are biased and ignore tha facts one way or another.
although i dont think floyd ducked half the fighters he gets accused of, at the end of the day his resume still lacks names. judah and baldomir where the two best WWs when he fought them so u cant say he ducked anyone when he took those fights, yet u cant say the wins mean a whole lot either. but like u say he fought fighters with all styles and more often than not in their prime.
pacquiao has alot of names on his resume, but the fighters on several occassions already had the fight beat out of them by the time pac took them on. and they all have similar styles pacquiao having ducked stylistic challenges while floyds greatest asset is his ability to read and adapt to oponents, he hasnt done it a whole lot against the very best though.
to me floyd ranks higher, a great fighter needs to be able to adapt to any style something pacquiao is yet to prove that he can.Comment

I actually think Floyd has had the better career.
Undefeated through 5 weight classes.
Barely lost rounds let alone any fights.
Top 10 P4Pounder 12 out of the 14 years hes been a pro.
2 time Lineal WW Champ in his 4th weight class.
11 time World Champion.
Greatest 130 Pounder of all time.
2 time Fighter of the Year.
Yeah I think that Floyd guy has a great career. NSB acts likes hes never done anything.
If someone told you 5 years ago that Pac would be fighting Margarito in 2010 you would laugh at them.
If someone told you 5 years ago that Floyd would fight Shane Mosley in 2010 you would ask "2010, why not sooner?? I bet Mosley will be retired by then"Comment

No son, I'm bout to drop some knowledge on u take notes. Who cares if Pacquiao came up from 130 to fight those guys? Leonard, Hearns, and Duran all came up weight classes. Hell, Duran came up from lightweight to fight Hagler at middleweight, Floyd came up from juniorlightweight to fight De La Hoya for the WBC super welterweight crown at 154lbs. That's more than your hero can say. Let's take a closer look at the state of Pacquaio's last five opponents going into those fights:
DLH-busted up by jounerymen Steve Forbes previous fight, suffered a broken check bone in that fight, Roach can confirm this lol, hadn't fought at 147lbs in 10+years.
Hatton-already knocked out by Money May struggled against Lazcano, and beat Malignaggi, wow he was really on a roll lol
Miguel Cotto-took savage beating from Margarito, beat Jennings (wow), and arguably lost to Clottey, the Margarito fight obviously took a lot out of Miguel who is one of the fighters I respect the most
Joshua Clottey-just lost to Cotto for crying out loud, a punching bag who played the part of the statue of liberty lol
Antonio Margarito-recieved a vicious ass whippin from Shane Mosley and scored a devastating victory over Robert Garcia lol this fight is for a vacant belt at a catchweight no less
Mayweather's last 5 fights:
Baldomir-although not a great champ by any strech, the lineal WW champion who just defeated Zab Judah, who Floyd also beat
DLH-the WBC superwelterweight champ who was coming off of a knockout win against Mayorga the same guy who beat Forrest(2) RIP (at 154lbs)more impressive DLH than what Pac fought
Hatton-undefeated, many people accused Floyd of ducking Hatton like Brian Kenny lol and Hatton just came off of a vicious 4 round KO of Jose Luis Castillo, should have never called Floyd out
Marquez-Floyd coming in overweight was bush league, however Marquez was recognized as the Ring's #2 P4P fighter at the time, he was also coming off KO victories against Cassamayor and Diaz (Juan not David lol)
Mosley-well, well, well, people notoriously accussed Floyd of ducking Mosley for years, what happened when they got in the ring? Mosley was both the Ring's #1 ranked welterweight and #3 P4P fighter at the time, he was also coming off a devastating victory over Margarito who is Pac's next opponent lmao and now Mosley is a leading candidate for Pac's next fight after Mayweather beat him down, Hmmm.......
So as anyone with a functioning brain can see Pac's last 5 fights being tougher than Money May's is not as cut and dry as u think. Tbh, it's debatable. Come wit it *******s, but I must warn u don't bring knives to a gun fight. Yall want with me come wit REAL homeboys!
Btw, do u *******s wipe Manny's ass for him after he takes dumps?
You said the same thing in the thread I made this morning.
After I responded to you, the only thing I saw was an empty tampon wrapper and a trail of blood from you damaged vagina.

having him at 1# is laughable. Stop ranking floyd based on his talent & skill level. we are not talking about fantasy fights, but rank as the greatest, which means resume more than perceived talent & outcome of fantasy fights.
