    First of all, let me qualify what I'm about to say: I'm a much bigger fan of Pac than I am Floyd. In fact, I don't like Floyd at all, and I don't think he's been all that good for the sport of boxing. He's got a bad attitude, and he's been far too selective with his choice of opposition.

    That said, he is one of the greatest fighters ever, and he will be remembered that way.

    Manny Pacquiao will be remembered as a great fighter, and someone who did a lot of good things for the sport of boxing. But he will not be mentioned near the top of any all time greatest lists, but Floyd Mayweather will.

    And, if the two had or ever do fight, Mayweather most likely would have or will win a decision.

    That's how I see it, anyway.

    And, like I said, I don't even like Floyd.

      The only significant event that Floyd will be remembered by is the event when he brutally KO’ed Josie Harris.

      Wait let me think about it… yup, that’s about it…!

        4) generally won his fights more impressively (compare Hatton & De La Hoya fights of each)
        Impressively? A win over a member of the walking dead zombie's and Hatton, who Floyd beat both first, as well as Mosley, actually BEAT Marquez without question and then people want to say more impressive? Remember Floyd did fight Oscar as HIS weight with all of HIS rules, gloves, ring, everything and beat by a wider margin than the fight was scored IMO.

          manny is a fighter, Floyd is a supreme boxer... it will ultimately depend on who you ask. With the bias on here, you won't get a real vote. Someone who liked Sweet Pea, SRL, etc will like Floyd in the record books, while someone who liked Frazier, Duran, etc will like manny more.

            Probably Mayweather when it's all over unfortunately. Manny is the good guy but how do you erase bad KO losses and questionable decision wins. Mayweather has the tighter resume especially after beating Alvarez. Just my 2 cents.

              Two losses after this poll was made, Pac still has the greater legacy than Mayweather who has 0 loss. Quite telling.
