    the marquez fights were great but it's not impressive to lose 3 times out of 4

    the only fight that mattered with morales was the first one which he lost but danny garcia beat morales to, so danny has a better win than floyd
    William Joppy KO'd Duran so he's better than both of them

      Pac obviously, a thread doesn't need to be made up to show this.
      Pac stopping MOrales is better than anything FLoyd will ever do. Floyd needed ref help to beat Hatton unconscious, Corrales was weight drained as was Canelo.
      And Canelo doesn't have a resume.

        Floyd is still playing catch up. He retired and avoided stiff competition.

        Pacman had 17 fights since 2005, and Floyd had 10. Ask the same question after he fought seven more. That is if Pac retires after Rios. He would have lost his zero had he stuck around.

          you do know morales was weight drained in that second fight with pac?right...

          it was fought at a cw after morales moved up and lost to zahir raheem then had to drain himself to get the money fight with pac.

          it's hilarious how the morales win is so great despite the fact morales never fought at 130 again, he hasn't had a good win since beating pac unless you count pable cano as a good win

          also about corrales being weight drained if that's true why did he fight at 130 again and again and again and again and again even beating a prime casamayor at that same weight?

          i know all of this is news to you i'm sure you only heard erik morales because pacquaio fought him

                  Pac's is more impressive. Long term career wise Floyd will be considered better but those wins by Manny are better than Floyds.

                    Floyd best wins were against Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto. Pac easily obliterated them ALL with one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed. Oh yeah Floyd is great. LMAO!

                    This video alone says it all.

                      Morales was after Raheem beat him. Manny beat 4-7 morales not 48-2 morales. Canelo was clearly in over his head. Barrera wins are great, as are corrales and hatton streak enders.

                      Depends on how you view the JMM wins. Manny got both official judgements, but most writers/media had JMM winning both fights, especially the third where the overwhelming majority had JMM winning. All of floyd's wins were clear and dominant, and Corrales was slightly favored to win.

                      If you believe manny won both JMM fights I'd say the accomplishments are equal. If not, then its hard to argue beating those 3 undefeated fighters isn't better than going 4-2 in 6 fights, all of which you were favored to win.
