    The fact that TS only mentions Cotto, Mosley, and Margarito as fighters one or both of them have fiught, signifies to me that he hasn't been in tune with this sport for that long. I guess we should forget about Sasakul, Genaro, Manfredy, Ledwaba, Goyo, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Barrera, Gatti, Morales, Judah, Solis, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Marquez, Hatton, Clottey, Ortiz, and Bradley wins too huh?

      I understand balking at comparisons to Robinson...but sometimes people act as if May and Pac haven't fought anybody or been legit champions...

      The way some talk, you would think Pacman only fought an old Mosley and never dominated greats like Barrera and Morales, never fought Marquez, never dominated opponents at Jr welterweight and welterweight, never won titles in multiple classes...

      You would think Mayweather never won titles in multiple weight classes, never fought stiff competition early in his career (Castillo, Hernandez, Corrales when they were considered his tough tests), never looked dominant in most of his fights, never fought good names coming off of big wins

      I think Pacman has had the more impressive competition..mainly in the first part of his career...but both of them are great...not Robinson great...but great for their era and that counts for something

            both are great fighters, both are active atg's and neither are over the hill, so they both have the potential to make some career defining fights and if successful, both can bump themselves up to the second tier of ali, srr, srl, hearns, duran, benitez, etc., imo

                How can anyone take the TS serious? Joke. Both are great and you are not even that good at trolling. Deal with it.

                  Well put it this way,Leonard was accused of ducking Pryor,refusing to fight Hagler until he thought he was passed it and refused a rematch with Hearns for years!!!
                  History will remember Floyd and Manny as great fighters,just like Leonard

                      I dont like Pacquiao, but he's one of the greatest fighter ever.

                      And Floyd is a total legend
