which is the more impressive feat:by Pacquiao or Mayweather jr?

95% of the best ATG fighters have losses and have been knocked out, undefeated don't mean **** when you face people like Guerrero.So you would rather have 5 losses with 3 by KO and 2 draws on your record rather than be 44 - 0? And I think it depends on who you're asking if you call it a duck or not. Many fighters believe Pac ducked the Mayweather fight. He turned down a 50/50 split because he did not want to participate in random drug testing that bith fighters were subject to. And then he turned down 40mil which would have clearly been his highest payday ever to fight Bradley for half of that.
It wasn't a 50/50 split, it was Floyd taking 50 + all the PPV revenue, that isn't 50/50.Last edited by T18Z; 05-20-2013, 09:25 AM.Comment

Morales lost to Raheem before Pac beat him twice. Manny had a draw and a close win (which the majority thought he lost) to JMM and beat Barerra twice.
I would say floyd beating 2 these two undefeated fighters is more impressive given when Manny fought Morales and the fact he didn't beat JMM twice.Comment

I love how 'majority' is 6 people.Morales lost to Raheem before Pac beat him twice. Manny had a draw and a close win (which the majority thought he lost) to JMM and beat Barerra twice.

57 for Marquez, 51 for Pacquaio, 38 draw
If that isn't the definition of a close fight, then what is? Ricky Hatton was also fought at an unnatural weight, where as Pacquaio faced him in his best division... stop nitpicking. Pacquaio has beat Marquez twice, and would've been a 3rd if the judge in the 1st wasn't ****** and made a mistake. Let me guess, you think Marquez won all 4 fights and they weren't even close for Pacquaio? This isn't Bradley, you can't call there fights robberies when they are so even.
Barrera, Marquez >>> Hatton, Corrales... that's not even including Morales... inb4 hurr durr barrera and Marquez weren't in prime... cause that's B/S.Last edited by T18Z; 05-20-2013, 09:49 AM.Comment

Ed of thread. Bye.I think Floyd's is. Morales beat Pac when they were both on top. Pac argubaly didnt beat EM until he had become washed up. I still dont know how people let him get away with those fights.
He fights him coming off of a near shutout by Raheem and gets ton of credit for it like the Raheem fight never happened. Not only that but they actually allow him to fight him a 3rd time after EM is shutout by Raheem and KO by Pac. He then gets mad credit for it again. How is that allowed? He also got KTFO by JMM.
Is everyone just going to erase those facts? That 2nd MAB win wasnt special either. The only great wins out that group was the 1st MAB win and the JMM fights but again, he got KTFO by JMM in the endComment

I find it funny that stans brings up the pre-fight circumstances for Pac vs 3 ATG legends, but doesn't bring up the pre-fight circumstances for Floyd vs Hatton (140 fighting at 147) and Corrales (prison bound and weight drained at 130)Comment

Hatton fight took place at 147, he was a good lighter welter but a decent welter at best, in fact, I would say he was lucky to be undefeated as he was hurt bad in his previous fight and the ref helped him out with the shoe lace thing
ricky hatton was never that good, just look at the dudes resume, he was a decent/good boxer at best imo, would lose to a lot of 140s even his prime in todays world
corales was good but thats it
for sure pac, there really is no contestComment
Anyone who disagree with Floyd is not a boxing fan
