Will Pacquiao be considered the greatest of this current generation over Mayweather?

[Fetta]

Please try.

I already said i dont care about CW's so im not trying to get into that dumb debate. If they sign contract then its ok for me.

Come on, Manny's destruction in the lower divisions which included him being an under dog to two of the best fighters in those weights (Ledwabo and Barrera) are better than anything Floyd did pre-140-154. Add to that Manny's wins over prime Marquez, a good version of Morales, a better version of Cotto and Hatton, not to mention a few other solid wins to buffer his resume. How can anyone even think of stating Floyd as the best?

For those of you who are new to the sport or simply don't know ****, boxing isn't all about how many times you make your opponent miss, it's about who you fight when it really mattered, how many greats you beat, no matter how many people say you can't/ It's about titles and domination. It's about HOFers and ATGs.

Heck since moving up to 140-147, Mnany has fought almost all the names Floyd has, beaten better versions in Cotto and Hatton and done so much more impressively. Manny was an ATG before his move to lightweight, since then he is in the upper echelon of the sport. But Hopkins is still the best I've ever seen in my life time.

I kinda agree with that. But, this 152 thing is ***ed up. Ive never cared about the whole CW shlt . I agree if they both sign...they know what they are doing. So whos fault is it. But this Floyd / Canelo thing is Bullshlt!

Pac has the better resume, some of you can't be impartial

Stopped right there. Oh let me guess cause of weight or ideal weight. HAHAHA! Anything to discredit the best of this era but hey anything to bring out a triangle theory

But if they both signed then why is it BS? I dont care either way, im just happy the 2nd biggest fight of the past decade is happening soon and that we will have a new face fronting our sport. Get ready

[HeroBando]

didn't JMM win the fotd belt from Manny by KO?

We already went over this, surprised it doesnt ring bells. He's not talking about some WBO trinket, but the BWAA FOTD award.

[Lords]

Lmfao Floyd really did a lot for his legacy fighting gurrero. Prime manny>any version of Floyd.

And Manny has been doing a lot for his legacy fighting fighters coming off losses. Your delusional.

Both are legit champs @ 154 why a CW? I can see if one was a 154 and was 147 or 140 or other and to make the fight happen they would have to meet somewhere. But if both are Champs at 154 and Floyd beat a legit 154 with NO CW...then why should it be at a CW. Makes no ***ing sense. :AYWOoD:

Have to disagree with most things you say. I'm not sure if Ledwabo and a very war torn Barrera is better than Castillo and Corrales to be honest, not at all.

Better version of Hatton? I don't think so. A weight drained Cotto? No thanks. I don't buy it.

With regards to the bold, actually it has a whole lot do with it. The art of pugilism is exactly an art of hitting and not getting hit.
