    Smh...

    Only an ignorant fanboy would pick Floyd over Manny. Manny clearly outpointed Floyd on May 2nd. Those of you saying Floyd is a better boxer, is ******. Manny has fought the better competition and that's why he was able to do what he did to Floyd. Manny wouldn't have struggled against Castillo, Maidana, or Cotto the way Floyd did, either. He has better legs, he's faster, he's stronger, and he's more exciting. PERIOD. He'll fight anyone, at any time, in any country. Can you say the same about Floyd? On top of all this, he's a cheater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, the "victory" over Pacquiao wasn't really a major achievement all things considered - it was a very mediocre performance and a paper win. It wasn't a Holyfield beating Tyson event. It was a run of the mill win on a points decision, the same routine from Mayweather, score a point here...steal a point there...pay attention judges...the bells sounds for the end of round 12 and the audience thank God it's over.
      Floyd Mayweather has the better legacy and is the superior boxer.
      Manny had more entertaining fights.

        You can present an argument for Pacquiao not struggling against the likes of Castillo and Maidana. It is fact that Mayweather wouldn't get knocked the fuck out by Marquez.

          Manny, hands down. His fights against Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, and Cotto were all awesome. But man, I do love rewatching Floyd's fights against Corrales and Gatti. He was like a video game character with a cheat code during those fights.

            People fell for the illusion that is Manny Pacquiao and were disappointed by what they saw on May 2nd 2015. Manny is a great fighter but not as great as his fans make him sound.

            After his comments last week on gays Ive heard several people in the media call Manny "The guy who lost to Floyd Mayweather." You cant be greater than Floyd if casuals remember you for losing to him.
            Like Floyd?

            You talking about great fighters over the hill. Please tell me what great fighters Floyd fought in their prime please??

              And how did Roidquez KO Manny? Let's see how honest you are. I bet you are going to say that Manny made a mistake and got caught. That's true BUT can you explain Juan's freakish POWER? Of course you can't. You only wanna bash Manny for being KO'ed. Juan is a cheater. That's the only you beat Manny nowadays. You have to cheat. The last fighter to actually outpoint him was Morales. That was 2005. Act like you aren't impressed all you want, man. I call it like I see it. Floyd cheated too. Look at how BIG he was. He out-weighted Manny by at least 10-12lbs and still fought like a punk. Smh. Make sure you tune in April 9th, because Manny is looking like he always does. He gonna KO Bradley this time.

                I agree. Pacquiao's fights are on average more entertaining than Mayweather's fights to me anyway.

                  Manny imo. He started off as such a small guy and did something that's probably won't be replicated again. Plus he's more likable so I think people will be bias more towards him.

                    Pacquiao is exciting to watch live, but Mayweather's fights are better to me rewatching them. He has an aesthetically pleasing style.
