    Even in the comeback, people were impressed by the level of opponent he chose. That look of defeat in his eyes when he didn't get up from the body shot makes me sad whenever I think about it.

      I know it hurts and all but the facts are Mayweather won more title fights, more title defense, beat more champions, hall of famers, is undefeated, beat JMM manny's bitter rival like he was his babysitter



      If you think Manny should be rated higher....why?? Because he had to struggle??
      Barrera was the best fighter in the world when PAC beat him!

      Floyd always triefd to get things in his favour. Like he said, after he was robbed as an amateur he would make sure he would never lose a fight again. And to achieve that,he had todo what he did. It is what it is!

          anything to pump up your heroes resume right?


          In 03....Roy Jones was the best fighter in the world, Hopkins and Mayweather were above him as well


          Manny fans always overrate Barrera for the purpose of enhancing Manny's already great resume

            Hard to overrate a guy that was a legitimate top 5 p4p guy when they fought. Hell this is a guy that pretty much had his way with anyone not named Manny, from 122-130 for nearly a decade. Hell if you just want to use the names on his resume, which seems to be a national pastime on this website, MAB's resume is ****ing sick.

                Marco Antonio Barrera is overrated to pump up Pacquaio's resume

                MAB wasn't running to 130 win Freitas, Casamayor, Corrales was there and if they were he'd have got his asss whooped






                top 5 p4p by a publication....p4p is make believe its all opinion based


                How Many 29 year olds you know that are in their prime after 60 fights???
                and wars with the likes of Kennedy McKinney, Morales, and getting beat up by Poison

                After his wins over Hamed and Morales, there is a huge fall off in his competition

                That losses to Junior Jones was in his prime



                MAB is a great fighter for his era and definitely a hall of famer....its hard to call him an all time great based off the way he has losses to all his best opponents.....Junior Jones, Pacquaio and Morales

                and his best wins are washed up kevin Kelly, Johnny Tapia and undersized Paulie Ayala



                HBO and haters of Hamed jumped on the MAB express because someone finally beat the Prince....looking over his resume its good, but definitely not spectacular and being an avid boxing fan and seeing a lot of his fights, he is not on the level of a Roy Jones, Hopkins and Mayweather

                  What he had in his favor was he was just better and worked harder than his comptemporaries on mastering his craft...im sure he beat some of your favorite fighters

                  cry me a river....dude was fighting world class opposition by his 18th pro fight and won a lineal title he defended 8 times and 4 of those were over former/ future titleholders....Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, Diego Corrales and Goyo Vargas

                  By 2003 Mayweather was a two weight lineal champion with a total of 11 title defenses


                  If MAB was the best fighter in the world do you think he would have beat Mayweather at 130 around 2000-2003?? they were only 4 pounds apart

                    Good thread man. I like how you didn't include Mayweather or Pacquiao's name in the headline because it kept many of the typical trolls from even knowing it was a Mayweather v Pacquiao debate thread. Notice how Spoon is nowhere to be seen? It's because he doesn't know this thread is a Mayweather thread

                    Now actual boxing fans are allowed to have a serious discussion.
