    I think Manny hands down. Better opposition.... Floyd is a legendary fighter but his resume (maybe not his fault just the timing of his career) doesn't leave him with a marquee win (Augustus? De La Hoya? Hatton?). Manny has more than a few marquee wins in the 2000-2010 time span (Barrera, Morales, Cotto). Also from where Manny began it was a better achievement as many have said and still say he is a one dimensional fighter. Unfortunately Floyd's greatness works against him. He was always expected to dominate, and when he did it went unnoticed. He is a victim of his own success.

    One is the kid who was a C student pulling A++++ on projects he was supposed to fail.

    The other is the A+ student who pulls A's on a regular basis.

    Also before coming to 147 Manny fought many of the fighters that people wanted him to fight.

    Floyd whether for financial or personal reasons did not fight the guys the fans wanted to see. Cotto, Margacheato, etc.

    From a strict analysis though you could also make a case for Floyd. It is just that as a fan you are biased towards the underdog story.

        Floyd IMO... Pac gets credit for the same wins, so no dice for me. He had great wins in Barrera but the Marquez fights were dubious...and he did also lose to an older Morales. Popularity wise..and by that I mean a better image in the public eye then this is why Manny won. Floyd is a bigger name (or so numbers indicate...) but he'a hugely disliked. This is why he won because logically...if a man can fight you multiple times and be considered the victor..you cant be considered the best if you have been proven not to be. Floyd has proven to be better than anyone hes ever stepped in with (when he has..been inactive for a while)...Pac hasnt. Simple as that. Marquez is ranked above Pac because of that... You cant be considered the best when you have a guy consistently "beating" you...this KO just made that even more apparent. Do people actually take the fighter of the decade seriously this past time? This generation of fighters, more than any receive unwarranted gifts if youre liked...

                      Pacquiao's win over prime Barrera shits on Fraud's entire joke of a resume.

                      His only comp is Wladimir and Poopkins.
