The Greatest Fighter of Our Era?

[malcolm]

Pacquiao

Just a better resume, this is where cheery picking bites other fighters in the a$$ when their careers are over.

Pacquiao took alot if risk, and so he reaps the rewards.

Pacquiao also went up in weight, not only won, but dominated fighters.


Pacquiao has wins against:

Eric Morales(x2)
Barrera(x2)
JMM(x2)
ODH(stoppage)
Cotto(stoppage)
Hatton (KO'ed Rnd 2)
Mosley(complete domination, had him running)
Timothy Bradley


And these are just the guys at the heavier weights.

Resume speaks for itself.

good day.

Also lost to Morales. Also got knocked out by JMM. Also lost to Tim Bradley.

Hatton and Mosley both coming off of LOSSES to Mayweather when Manny fought them.

Good day.

If I'm not mistaken wasn't Barrera ranked in the top 3 p4p or something when 24yr old green Pac faced him? He was coming off a string of wins including Naseem Hamed, Erik Morales, Johnny Tapia and Kevin Kelley . Has Floyd ever faced a prime great like that?

Hatton wasn't any different when Pac faced him, he didn't suddenly become a different fighter like u claim and Pac demolished him in 2 rounds.

Cotto was younger and got demolished by Pac and Floyd had trouble with him, albeit beating him clearly.

Canelo never beat anyone great and the jury is still out on him, he barely got past Trout who isn't really any good and hasn't clearly beat a good fighter. Pac beat JMM when he was younger and he beat a prime Bradley who is p4p better than Canelo imo.

There's many champions with multiple belts so I don't put too much weight into that, it's more about how good the opponent is.

what about losing to Erik Morales, who subsequently lost to Zahir Raheem, before beating him twice. What about drawing and losing to JMM who got shutout by Floyd. Doesn't who you lost to and when you lost to them count when evaluating a fighter's resume?

Since when did Floyd ever face anyone as good as prime Erik Morales?

JMM win was good yes but you could also do the same thing with other mutual opponents but it's somewhat pointless and styles make fights.

makavelli made me put this avatar/sig.

i lost super bowl bet.

i'm a big floyd fan.

My bad man.

[IronDanHamza]

not Floyd's resume i'll tell you that...heck, Roy having Hopkins and Toney on his resume is better than what Floyd has

There is no doubt Roy has a better resume than Floyd.

Only way you could argue Floyd over Roy is longevity.

You could bring skills and H2H ability into the equation to make it more arguable but even then it's still Roy.

Pacquaio didn't fight a prime Erik Morales.

Erik Morales after losing to Zahir is not erik morales at his peak.

don't losses count on a resume as well as wins? I'm not talking about BS like Manny/Bradley either.

[malcolm]

there's a HUGE difference in a good close fight and dominating...if you can't comprehend, well...it wouldn't really surprise me

Sorry Morales vs Pac I was not that close. When the final bell rang how many people actually felt Pacquiao won? That's your answer.

I'm not saying Morales destroyed Pac, but he clearly won the fight. NO CONTROVERSY.

No one has ever defeated Floyd like that, or come close to it.

[malcolm]

Algeri was an undefeated world champion. "Undefeated world champion" what does that mean?

Bradley was an undefeated world champion.

Since you're obviously trying to be ****...

How about this... Hatton and Corrales were top 10 pound for pound when Mayweather beat them. Matter of fact... Corrales was ranked higher than Mayweather at the time on the Ring's pound for pound.

Was ALgeri or Bradley ranked in the top 10 when Pac defeated them?

[MurkaMan]

Are you another Alt like Murka?

Your reasoning is exactly like Murka's.

If you are legit - I suggest you take a step back. Study the sport. And come to the the fruition that Floyd really isn't the be all and end all of life.

u dumbiatch I am not an ATL. I actually have a life.

Floyd absolutely IS the be all in boxing. Their will never be a fighter that perfect EVER, and having the top 3 plus minus in boxing HISTORY says allot. You all just underrate him because its the popular thing to do. And you lie about past atg's greatness because its the popular thing to do.

I dont play any of that mess, I come here and talk real boxing. Skillwise SRR and Schit!
