Who's resume is better at 147lbs? Mayweather or Pacquiao?

I think a point many of you are missing is that going into fights guys like Clottey and Ortiz look like good even great fights. But when situations arise like a guy completely packing it in for a whole fight or a bunch of fouling, those wins can be lessened. Then lessened even further when those fighters immediately get messed up by lesser fighters or vanish to a life of Ghanian shepherding.

pretty even but i'd go with pac

[Cardinal Buck]

I though Clottey was a pretty good win for Pac too. Good on paper. Nobody knew that Clottey would be hiding in his shell throughout the fight.

I knew he would.

Yeah mate it could swing right there with Floyd, quality wise. Just depends on the eye of the beholder.

I think it's no secret that Pac's run in WW is more of an afterthought for his whole career, except for the Cotto win IMO. The Bradley showing of Pac like we agreed before showed Pac's experience which can save him, but age is a pre-requisite.

The reason why many people, including myself, think Mannys win over Cotto is tainted is because Manny already had a fight at 147. You fight Oscar at 147 and then force Cotto to come in at 145? B_itch move IMO.

I consider the Bradley fight a win just to clarify.

It's even.

Pacfan's coping mechanism makes them fail to see this reasoning.

Voted PAC just to make the poll Even :P

[S H A R K B O Y]

Mayweather by a mile.

[IMDAZED]

Wow,I didn't look at that way but PAC fought cotto at 145 so yes cotto vs PAC is not a ww fight .so once you take cotto off manny ww resume his pales in comparison to floyd's.

I don't understand that. 145lbs is welterweight. Should it have been for a title? Probably not but it was a welterweight fight. And one hell of a win for Pacquiao at that time--when we weren't really sure if he could handle a big welter, let alone one as skilled as Cotto. And he delivered a great performance. I tend to think that Cotto's confidence coupled with the fact that he didn't really have a trainer influenced his performance. But it ranks as Pacquiao's best win at the weight and possibly his best since he beat Barrera in 2003.
