Better resume: Mayweather or Pacquiao?

[Ryannn]

Wait a minute.

In terms of legacy, Pac just started competing with Mayweather in 2009 after the Ricky Hatton fight.

How does 2 years of solid work overrule the other 14 years Mayweather's resume/career was considered better than Pac's?

If anyone would've compared Pac to Mayweather from 1996-2008, they would've been laughed at. But because Pac has solid wins from 2009-2011, now all of a sudden Pac has the greater career? Come on people!

uhmm no.

pac was already being talked as a hall of fame fighter as early as when he beat barrera.

2009?

how many lineal titles did PAC have before 2009?

he was already a world champ in 1998...maybe YOU just started following him in 2009

pac was a multiple weight champion in his early 20's.

why is this swept under the rug?

2 years of good work? so barrera, morales, marquez, ledwaba don't count

jesus

It's only swept under the rug by people who didn't follow the sport prior to 07'

Basically what you saying is Floyd gets every benefit of the doubt in your opinion.

Jro its not that at all. Nothing I have posted is unreasonable. Manny gets credit for everything he has achieved from me. Where I raise questions, (catchweights and talent level of opponents) they are legitimate.

Ok so because you're being talked about as a HOF'er that means you have the better resume.

Mayweather was already being discussed as an HOF'er before Pac fought Morales/Barrera.

Here's the test right here. Check any credible boxing website before 2009 and let's see how the general public compared Mayweather-Pac.

Going off your and others postings in this thread, Pac has been competing with Mayweather for the P4P #1 spot before 2009? Come on you guys are killing me.

Mak, Ryann, Jrosales13:

How many pac fans on this board do you think saw him prior to top rank?

Whatever you say Mak. You're right, we (fans) have been debating who has the best resume between Mayweather and Pac before 2009. Hell, you're right, we've been debating this topic for the last 7-10 years. You're right.

How about you find any credible website where this "debate" took place before the Hatton-Pac fight happened.

I'm not knocking Pac's career, but just because he reinvents himself in the last 2 years doesn't give him the right to overrule or surpass the other 14 years he wasn't competing with Mayweather.
