If Pac and Floyd don't fight, the only way Floyd surpasses Pac is w/ a MW Title.

        well it's obvious floyd didn't want the catchweight with jmm.

        that's why he didn't bother making the weight.

            Pac should not receive any credit, it would be just a waste of time. And, 3 tune-ups in a row. Shame on Pac if he fights JMM above 135.

            But, yea lets agree to disagree.
            I gave Floyd credit for beating a great smaller man, I would probably give Manny a bit more since I think he is closer to JMMs size (regardles of weight class) especialy if he did a better job and JMM looks good beating up Katsidas.

            I am sure this isn't the first option so I really don't care that much, I guess he could fight a more threatening guy but the JMM fight to me makes the most sence (if things don't work out with Floyd).

            To me I am quite happy when public preceptions goes against what I think, as a gambler that is when there is real money to be made.

                Yes I think Pac resume surpassed Floyd. IMO anyways Floyd has never beat anybody as great and as versatile as Marco Antonio Barrera, To me a draw with JMM is just as good as a win against the likes of Ndou, Bruseles, Mitchell, and that version of JMM that Floyd fought. Because, of how good that version of JMM at 126 was. Matter of fact I would not even mentioned Ndou, Bruseles, and Mitchell. I would replace them with Chicanito, Manfreddy, and Chavez. Ledwaba was a really good win too if you take that context of that win. And, Pac wins against Cotto and Hatton are legit and the way he won those fights was astonishing. Yes I say Pac is greater by a solid margin.
                What I meant was they would be around the same level after you believe they reached their HOF-status I then listed the rest of their resumes since then and was asking you to compare them. I'd say the Castillo win is almost as good as Barrera since Castillo very underrated and big with great ability, I agree the Ledwaba win was very good and infact I'd rate it higher than his rematch with Morales. Hatton was also a legit good win but Floyd beat him too, The Cotto win was legit and very good I rate it about the same as Floyds win over Mosley.

                  Why do people think Floyd ruins fighters all the time?

                  135 or no fight is my opinion.
                  But why does Pac have to fight JMM at a weight where JMM has a better chance? Why didnt the rule apply to FLoyd? Why couldnt floyd fight JMM at 140 if not 135?
                  Doesnt floyd budge from 147? When floyd wakes up he probably weighs 147. When he is 90 years old he will probably still weigh 147. He likes 147 dont he?

                    They still think of Manny as just an asian midget
                    undeserving of calling the shots. In their eyes
                    he is still the challenger. Which is why these folks
                    don't seem to follow boxing at all.
