Should Manny Still Be Placed Above Floyd On The ATG List?

Whoops, you're right, hes 38 now, was 36 at the time of the fight. But still 36 > 30. 65 fights > 50 3 KO's > 0.
Morales was declining at 30, not done. FFS, he took Maidana to hell 5 years later. Still doesn't make sense that an older Manny, who had been in more wars than Morales, and KO'ed, is fresher than that 30 yr old Morales.
I also repeat. You cannot judge "doneness" based on the number of fights or age. Morales never had a good win after the first Manny fight. That's how you tell a boxer is done.Comment

No he's right. Morales was having serious trouble making weight which is why he moved up for the Raheem fight. He lost all negotiating power when he lost. Really, he should have never been given the Pacquiao rematch because he got his ass kicked by Raheem. But he did, also lost out on his wish to have it at 135 and then lost. Even worse...they fought him again smh. Kudos to Arum.Comment

Shot morsales is still just about betttter than anyone on Floyd's resume, especially at that timeComment

True mayweather never beat any great fighters at the lower weights. I mean who has he beat? gatti? castillo? LOL. Meanwhile pac beat legendary mexican fighters.Comment

They're pretty close, but I pick Floyd. If he never came back in 09, Pac would be ahead easily, even with his losses.
Regardless of how you feel about how the fight turned out and when they fought, Floyd has the clear victory over Manny.
Cotto
Canelo
Maidana 2x
Pac
These four names alone make a better resume than all the young, top fighters today.
Marquez and Mosley were also good wins.Comment

why? what is so wrong with reviewing the fight in slow mo?
it is not about changing decisions or declaring a no contest....
it is about really seeing what happened....who hit who more, harder etc etc....Comment

Some think jmm beat PAC 4 times, and we know jmm isn't greater than PAC. So jmm probably would think it unfair if Floyd was. Hearns isn't greater than duran. And Turpin wouldn't be greater than srr even if he didn't give srr the chance to win rematchComment
