Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: 17 Years to a Superfight - 1998

I am not a sheep. Mayweather and Pacquiao are not fighting to see who is the best of this generation. Pacquiao lost too many times during this generation. If it was Floyd who held all these these losses this would not have been an argument.

Bragging rights over the other man makes more sense. This fight is just what it is, a personal beef between Floyd, Manny, and their minions of fans and haters.

pac has more losses but he also has a better resume. why are only losses taken into account and not achievements? makes no sense. is calzaghe the greatest of last generation because he has no losses?

We are going to be bored with threads upon threads with this two, can't wait for the fight to be over so we can all move on. Frankly am looking forward to Canelo-Kirkland and Thurman-Guerrerro..

Yep, Ima lookin forward to the Thurman/Guerrero fight.

Sooo many people sleeping on the ghost.

Never thought about that before ... But I think you're right had Floyd had a couple L's on his record it changes everything and this fight isn't as big.

Great article, looking for to the series.

One suggestion (just incase you haven't thought it of already): Can you also put the p4p ranking of the fighters at the time of the fight (if applicable) when you do the notable fights extracts?

Thought about it but want to avoid that. Might mention that some in the wrap.

Great work, Cliff. Looking forward to these write-ups.

Agreed


His personality outside of the ring, blinds those who wanna nit pick

Out of all the fighters who turned pro after 95, his generation, he has beaten the most champions, most title defenses, tied for most lineal titles all time, has fought in 2...soon to be 3 of the biggest fights ever


May weather has been considered the best of his generation for over a decade


A win over PAC is the cherry on top

IMO may weather is the more skilled fighter


I think we may see the best money may we've seen in a while, deep inside he is still bitter about not getting his just due like he use to say 2010 and earlier. He is just more mature and just proves it in the ring

May weather has been in the p4p list since 98 when he won FOTY and the only year he wasn't was in 08 when he was retired
