Can Pacquiao finish his career and be considered equal to or better than Floyd

[bluebeam]

Not sure how beating lesser guys than he's previously beaten will improve his ranking all time so no imo

That's what I was thinking

[SplitSecond]

Unless they can really prove his shoulder was fudged, no. The only thing he can do from here is drop the stock of the win by losing his next 2-3 fights, before retring.

[Mukuro]

Well we now have ironclad proof that Floyd has been cheating for the last 9 years since his retirement, so all those wins go out the window. Floyd's best win not on the juice is his 2 on 1 job against Hatton with Cortez holding Hatton's hands behind his back.

TBE?
Myth busted

[BennyST]

No. The only definitive thing that Pac has over Floyd is the eight (faux eight anyway) divisional titles. They're both four time lineal though, so...

Apart from that though, Pac has little going for him. Floyd has more champions, more longevity, a win over Pac himself, undefeated, blah blah blah.

A well renowned doctor has come out saying that he performed surgery on Manny, do you think its some sort of cover up?

By the same virtue you could say USADA are covering up Floyds reasoning for using a IV

Both are very far fetched but if you believe one, why not believe the other..

I still have Manny just ahead of Floyd. A narrow win does not remove his accomplishments before.

He has to retire in a winning and dominating fashion. If he drops the next 2 or 3 opponents, then he has a chance to still put his name in the Top 20 ATG list.

If he can pull of wins against some of the younger guys such as Brook, Garcia, Thurman, Crawford or Khan? Floyd has no one on his resume that can compete with Morales and Barrera IMO and all of there common opponents besides Marquez were beaten In more spectacular fashion by Pacquiao. On the flip side, Floyd did get the win over Manny and rightfully so. On that note and as of right now, Floyd should be ranked higher. But what If Pacquiao Is able to make a run and dispose of some of these highly ranked young guns particularly against some of the names mentioned above. At the end of the day do these two finish as equals? If not who deserves to be ranked higher based on what they accomplished In the ring and In there careers.

This thread Is not Intended as a bash thread targeted at either fighter. We have enough of that on a daily basis. I am just curious as to what others opinions are on where these to fighters stand when comparing there resumes and career accomplishments.

first off, it is not good to put out a thread based on pure hog wash...

you are putting forth as a fact that floyd is better than pac...that alone is not good unless you are just expecting to get replies on your trolling...

what have floyd got? his IVIX-0? Rocky got there first, and at heavyweight at that!

floyd's IVIX-0 got gift decisions, glove gate and now IV gate...

castillo, and even maidana might be feeling so peachy knowing they beat the so called tbe....

Is this some kind of joke? Floyd was greater before the fight even took place. Beating lesser fighters isn't gonna enhance #48's career above Floyd's.

[Jake19]

If Pacquiao somehow managed to beat or get a draw with Khan that would probably propel him above Floyd because Floyd ducked Khan for life so Pac would have faced the man who sent Floyd into retirement. Hell, even if Pac lost to Khan it still might place him above Floyd just for facing him?

are you Khan?

[DeandreXI]

I don't understand the hype surrounding Khan as if this guy is some sort of word class, elite and an ATG in the making boxer.


He's damaged goods and the only reason why Mayweather isn't paying attentiom to him and his plea for a fat paycheck is simply because Money doesn't like trolls like Khan. He only fights the best.


Pacquiao knocking Khan does nothing in Manny's ATG ranking. If Pacquiao desperately wants to get his name back on top, he needs to go after the bigger fish and win in a dominating fashion.
