Manny or Floyd: Who's had the best opponent in last five fights?

[Kagami Taiga]

Seriously both can be criticized to death. But Floyd has looked more spectacular by far. Honestly the only named that matter PACs list is jmm and Bradley and face it he went 1-2.

[RespekonMyName]

How you vote for things depends on whether you are looking at the boxers pound for pound, or whether you looking at who would win in a fight. Canelo would likely beat most of the fighters on the list because he has a size advantage over them; it doesn't make him a better than them, but it arguably makes him the more difficult opponent.

Exactly. I picked Canelo over Bradley because of the power gap Floyd faced. A lot of people wondered if Mayweather could stand up to Canelo's strength.

[Cuban Linx]

It's obvious that Tim Bradley is the best... Canelo is just big. He's had his success against way smaller guys and when he stepped up against someone like Trout (who isn't that good) he won, but it was an unimpressive win.

[daggum]

bradley is the best overall fighter at the moment when faced. canelo at 152............just no

[Larry the boss]

amazing how all the sudden people wanna praise Bradley...lol this is a good day for flip flops

In Mannys last 5 fights he has faced only 1 legit ranked ww..and that was Mosley who hadnt won in 2 damn years


floyds last 5 fights he has faced 4 current champions and the other was a interim champion

Funny statements.

They have Khan ranked #2 at WW when I check because they want to pretend that he is legit for Floyd, if it happens.

When Floyd fought Marquez, YOU, yes YOU said "but Marquez is #2 P4P". Now YOU have memory problems and forget about the fact that Marquez and Bradley are ranked P4P quite high. Now, I don't care too much that they are or aren't because that doesn't necessarily mean its legit but YOU DID!!!

and Mosley was almost 39 years OLD and hadn't fought for 16 damn months when he faced Floyd!!!

[MR PUNCHOUT]

Who has had the single best opponent in their last five fights, Manny or Floyd? Explain your criteria as to why he was the best opponent. Youth, skill, experience, record, champion, intelligence?

You can even talk about who's faced the better opposition in last five or six fights, too.

Manny:
Rios
Marquez
Bradley = ALL BUT BRADLEY CAME OFF OF LOSSES BEFORE FIGHTING PAC
Marquez
Mosley


Floyd:
Canelo
Guerrero = ALL CAME OFF OF BIG WINS BEFORE FIGHTING FLOYD!Cotto
Ortiz
Mosley

At the same time I think it is a tie because Floyd had a tough fight with cotto and pac had two tough fights with marquez! So in that aspect I think it is a tie!

[Chrismart]

Tim Bradley.

[J The UnBiased]

Manny
Rios-
Marquez- Top 10 P4P
Bradley- Top 10 P4P
Marquez-
Mosley-

Floyd
Canelo- WBA/WBC Jr. Middle Champ
Guerrero- Interim WBC Welter Champ
Cotto- WBA Jr. Middle Champ
Ortiz- WBC Welter Champ
Mosley- WBA Welter Champ, Top 3 P4P

It's not even a debate.

[J The UnBiased]

I don't believe Bradley or Marquez could move up to 154 and beat Cotto or Canelo. I don't believe Rios would beat Ortiz or Guerrero. And the Mosley that Floyd fought beats every guy on Manny's list including Manny himself. He was the #1 Welter in the world and Manny's team wanted no parts of em, Floyd did.
