Typical Floyd stan omitting some important facts to suit their own floydiot agenda. You forgot to mention Pac already fought Marquez at 126 and 130 nor he weight cheated him at higher weight. It was Marquez obsession to beat Pac so he chased Pac all the way to 147 and hired the best PED maker on the planet.

So I figure 34 pages in its a completely different discussion but as far as the original topic goes.

If you legitimately mean "fighter" It could be Pacquaio because he's a fighter, not really a boxer.

As opposed to Mayweather would be remembered for his technicality and such.

But overall, I say Mayweather.

P.S You guys saying Mayweather doesn't have balls are crazy.

I voted for Pacquiao. In terms of skills and intelligence it is Mayweather Jr, but in terms of the opponents he fought, the heart he always showed and comparing from where Pacquiao has started, I'll go for Pacquiao.

Pacquiao started from nothing, few amateur fights, poverty and turning pro at the age of 15, always fought any one and coming from the Philippines, that is really hard compared to someone like Mayweather that went to the Olympics, won a bronze medal and coming from the US.

Overall both are the greatest of this generation.

The argument should end once people look at the poll results. Boxing fans aren't all fools.

Dumb fans on this site or knowledge trainers or fighters which one will I pick

You obviously misintrepreted my responses. I'm not (or have never) based Floyd being a greater fighter than Manny Pacqiao on the JMM fight[s].

That was just one example. Period.

I base Floyd being better than Manny Pacquiao for a number of reasons. Here are a few:

1. Skill level. Floyd's technical boxing abilities are on a much higher level than Manny Pacquiao's abilities. Floyd's defense is superior; his ring generalship is better and he fights smarter and more efficiently than Manny.

2. Both fighters have fought a similar level of competition, yet Floyd has consistently outperformed Pacquiao.

3. Dominance: Again, both fighters have been in with elite level competition, yet Floyd is the one that's undefeated, and has only been tested once or twice. Manny on the other hand has been knocked out and beaten up over the course of his career on a few different occassions.

That's basically it in a nutshell. Floyd is the better fighter and has proven it.

2 and 3 are VERY questionable. Similar level of competition but he just named the SAME opposition and your "results" of being consistently outperformed was only with 1 example vs 5 of the same opponents. Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, Cotto, and Marquez.

Count by better performance/domination:
3 for Pac and 2 for PBF

3. You can't say floyd and level of competition being elite with a straight face. He just faced Gurerro, Ortiz (sucker punched), Marquez (cheated at the scales but still wouldn't have meant much), Cotto (Showed signs of deteroriation). Is that really ELITE? You tell me if you consider that a great display?

Floyd Mayweather, after he goes undefeated and finishes his career 49-0 or 50-0 will be remembered as the greatest fighter of his generation, an ATG and top 10 fighter EVER. Whether you like him or hate him that will be the case. Learn to accept it because the avalanche of accolades is incoming.

Pacquiao was greater than Floyd before he even got to WW.


and most nonebias knowledgeable fans will agree that what he did to the great 3 is vastly superior than anything Floyd ever did including his current WW "reign"
