Whether you like him or hate him that will be the case. Learn to accept it because the avalanche of accolades is incoming.
    Last few fights of Floyd were meant to pad his record. A not in his division Hatton, a lightweight Marquez asked to bloat up fat and still cheated on the scales, an old and battered Cotto and Mosley, a sucker punched Ortiz, a slow as molasses Guerrero, and a catchweight muscle depleted Canelo.

    He will be remembered just as willy pep, rocky marciano, and joe calzaghe was. No more.

    Just look at the poll and magnify it 1000 times in 50 years I don't think Floyd has any chance at all being classified as nowhere near to Pac.

      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"
      So true,, Manny, jmm, mab, morales where considered the fab four and compared to Srl, hagler, duran, hearns, As ATG fighting each other all the time.....


      People Forget that manny was a Hall of famer 1st ballot before he even fought diaz @135.....

      Floyd has better skills, but when faced with a loaded 135 division with casamoyer, freitas, lazcano, spadafora, dorin, johnston,,,
      or 140 with undefeated hatton, cotto,plus tsyzu, witter,
      or 147 with margs, williams, cotto, mosely, manny

      If floyd just had 2 or 3 of those fights at those times alot of haters would shut up

        Manny is still greater.

        Manny beating MAB, Morales and JMM >>>> Floyd's best three wins.

          I would say Mayweather but it's close. They both still have fights to go anyway.

          I see a lot of Morales being brought up, I don't even consider that a good win.

          And out of all 4 Marquez fights I've never scored any of them for Pacquaio.

            You know how big a hater I am, but I have to admit that where I once thought the answer to this was Pac and without much thought, he's done nothing to enhance his greatness since 2010 and Mayweather has. I won't argue anymore when people say Mayweather is greater, and it's all Pac's fault.

                Yes.

                Floyd avoided many of the best like Casamayor, Tszyu, and Williams. He refused to fight Hatton at 140 and forced him to move up to 147, and then used a shady referee in Cortez to help out.

                And he waited until people like Mosley, Cotto and De La Hoya were faded before he fought them.

                  De la hoya for year said he did not want to fight littel floyd and shane said he had a bad toothache.

                  if you can pick apart floyd resume you can easliy do the same with pac. cause pac must have wait for shane to get old and istead of fighting zahir raheem he fight a shot morales

                    Here's all you need to know, TWO FACTS:

                    1. FLOYD HAS YET TO FACE A LEGIT HALL OF FAME FIGHTER IN THEIR PRIME.

                    2. FLOYD'S BEST WIN IS DIEGO CORRALES. SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE HALL OF FAME.

                    Pacquiao clearly has the better resume.
