sure it can. Compare resumes between Pac and May....


The End

Both have good resumes, and Pac's resume is overrated by some of the delusional fans of his, and Floyd's is uderrated by the delusional fans of his.

Both have good resumes, only the bias haters of both can argue that.

I have always laughed hard at the Pac fans who say "Floyd's resume is a C at best".....it's just ignorant. If Floyd has a C resume, than Cotto has a D or F resume right??????

Floyd was viewed as the greater fighter from 2000-2007. Only when Floyd retired and Pac went on his run in 2008-2009 when Floyd was retired did people start saying he's better All-Time than Floyd.

I have both May and Pac aorund Top 30 ATG, based on career resume, era, skills, all together. Only when they fight each other, or unless one of them goes on to beat Sergio Martinez or something, will they truly seperate themselves from the other.

every fighter cherry picks. Its a non-stoppable debate. Floyds been cherry picking since he turn pro. See what i mean. Its all matter of opinion. A lightweight fighting WW and SWW and beating them convincingly destroying them and breaking them down is enough.

Cherry pick and leftovers are the two most used terms by the bias haters or fans of both guys. It's bulls**t. People will say that Floyd cherry picked Ortiz, which was NOT a cherry pick at all, but then claim that Pac fighting Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley when he did was legit. It's insane.

One could argue that Floyd's WW resume is better than Pac's, and even Jro said the same thing.

Floyd's WW resume: Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz.
Pac's WW resume: De La Hoya, Cotto, Clottey, Mosley, Marquez.

Both fought Marquez at 144, but Floyd beat him in a shutout and Pac arguably lost. 1-0 Floyd. Both fought Mosley, but Floyd fought him coming off KO wins over Mayorga and Marg, and when he was #9 P4P. Pac fought him coming off the loss and what should have been another loss to Sergio Mora. 2-0 Floyd. Pac fought Cotto and is his best win at 147, so he gets an automatic +1 for that. 2-1 Floyd. Than, that leaves Floyd with Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, and Ortiz, and Pac with Clottey and De La Hoya.......

How some people can argue that G. Hernandez, Manfredy, Gerena, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, De La Hoya, Hatton, Mosley, and Ortiz were cherry picks.....that's beyond me. The only time Floyd fought a big fight against someone coming off a big loss was a prime Zab Judah, who had lost in an upset to Baldomir.

How some people can say Floyd cherry picked Oscar at 154 lbs, but then give Manny credit for fighting him at 145 lbs, where he hadn't been in 7-8 years, it's beyond me.

Anyways, both have good resumes and are ATG's.

Was Buster Douglas considered the greatest of his time because he beat Tyson?

How about Ross Purrity for beating Wlad?

Ricardo Mayorga for Vernon Forrest?

Antonio Tarver for Jones?

Glenn Johnson for Tarver?

Hasim Rahman for Lennox?

Oliver McCall for Lennox?

Jermain Taylor for Hopkins?

Ricky Hatton for Tszyu?

Vince Phillips for Tszyu?

You pretty much just got your answer.

[Phenom]

wait..If Pac is the greatest of our era, what does that make JMM who schooled him 3x?
going off your logic....
JMM, THE GREATEST OF OUR ERA.

damn why you gotta bring up JMM schooling back into this

[turbotime]

lol what's going on in here? It'll be a great upset yes but no way does Cotto go to second. He'll need to avenge the Pac loss or clear out 154 before any of that talk is started.

Roy Jones, Hopkins, Delahoya, Whitaker, etc. are all ahead of him even with Floyd on his resume.

[Jayallday9]

False. We never really agree on a fighters legacy until they retired anyways so who know how we will feel until it's all said and done. And this question seems like you think Pac is number 1 to begin with which is hilarious!!
