    Mayweather, who never lost, and who's never really been in trouble in a fight. He's the biggest draw, and in the U.S he's the last true star worthy of mention in the lineage of Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. There will never be another.

        LMAOOOOOO!!

        LMAO!!!


        Manny has been laid out COLD by JMM, outboxed and OWNED by Erik Morales (first fight), ko'd 2 other times in his early career. He also lost and barely edged by TIM BRADLEY in a rematch.

        TIM BRADLEY??? Bradley? Tim Bradley?

        Imagine what Mayweather and Sweetpea do to Tim Bradley.

        This forum is full of ignorant Pac fans. I bet they know every movie Pac has been in, but has never seen fights like Jones-Toney, Whitaker-Mcgirt and Mayweather-Corrales.

        SMH at the ignorance...

        These are fan boy poll results which why I don't include polls in my threads...im just stating facts....Mayweather is undefeated, and Whitaker and Jones never clearly lost until like 35+ ....Pacqauio is great but he never was the best of his era, he is one of the best.....there is a difference...early kos losses outboxed by morales in his prime and losses to Bradley and Marquez don't help.


        does anybody see a prime Mayweather or Whitaker losing to Erik Morales @ 130-135...I doubt it

          Agreed.

          Pacquiao was/is a great fighter but like you said, NEVER the best of his era.

          Erik Morales dominated him so bad that he fought Manny as a southpaw for the entire 12th round. He taunted Manny, owned Manny and made Manny CRY. Doesn't sound like GOAT material to me. LOL!

          Imagine someone owning Mayweather in the ring, taunting him while they do it and then making him cry after kicking his ass. LOL! Never happening.

              As what floyd said numbers don't lie. This should be the contest between floyd and roy as who is the second best.

                whether by an inch or a mile, or a round or a whitewash...a loss is a loss and Pacquaio was competitive because he is a great fighter, but it was a clear loss his way

                    To Pac's credit, he's fought everyone. And he's revenged some losses.

                    Floyd "retired" and avoided prime Cotto, Margarito, Williams.

                    I still think Floyd is the best of the era though.
