      4) generally won his fights more impressively (compare Hatton & De La Hoya fights of each)
      i think you said enough to quell any dissent....

        This ^^^^^^

        And take into consideration that Pacquiao fought regularly during the past decade, he didn't "retire" for a few years to avoid top welterweights like Floyd.

        Manny is a bit more shopworn now than Floyd after more fights (often against much bigger men like Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, etc).

        But he's achieved far more in his career than Floyd.

          what did Pacquiao do from 2000-2005 that we hadn't seen before?

            Pac achieved far more then may B*******! May has been on top of boxing for the last 17 years bud! This poll is irrelevant now, pac has losses on his record and a devastating ko on there as well!

            People need to face the truth pac is not better then flyod period! Even if flyod losses to canelo he will still be a better fighter then pac! Pac will never fight a much much bigger and younger opponent like canelo!

                Agreed. That's critical. ^^^^^^^^^^

                  Close but Mayweather when it's said and done. Questionable decisions and KO losses hurt Pacquiao whether he went out like a warrior or not.

                    3 years ago I would have agreed with this thread. But now.......Floyd....the greater legacy and a top 5 ATG when it is all said and done.
