Even with all the careful career management Pacquiao benefited from he still managed to come up short several times. Yet clowns on here want to call him the greatest of this era.Pacquiao's resume, the guy picks people coming off losses. Not good wins.
Morales 2 - coming off a loss to Raheem
Morales 3 - coming off losses to Raheem and Pacquiao
Barrera 2 - coming off loss to JMM
ODLH - weight drained, coming off loss to Mayweather and bad performance against Forbes
Hatton - Got stopped by Mayweather, looked terrible against Lazcano
Cotto - Got destroyed against Margarito, very close fight with Clottey
Clottey - Coming off loss to Cotto
Margarito - Coming from suspension after being destroyed by Mosley
Mosley - Coming off a loss to Mayweather and Draw to MoraComment

Exactly What as MP's starting weight was & how many fight he had had by this point? The fight between them as old men means **** to me..stay on topic....this is about manny and floyd and manny simply was not the best of this era.
he lost to fighters mayweather beat, lost to guys he would mostly likely beat and lost to the man himself
add to the fact he beat more champions, hall of famers, and more title defenses, was more dominant
manny is your preference...just admit that
the number and fights dont lie...mayweather was simply better
I'm using your logic here. You cited old FMJ beating old MP as definitive proof Floyd was the greatest yet up until this point MP had the far greater depth in competition & had achieved more (like Ring champion in most weight classes etc) So answer:
Do you rate Winky Wright over Mosley?
Do you rate Hearns over Duran.
Do you rate Calzaghe over Hopkins?
A 35 year old Kovalev & 37yr old Ward fighting each other wouldn't prove who was the best of this er. That is just dumb.
I am highlighting a point using your logic & you are ducking. By the way there is actually no such thing as the best of the era really it is purely subjective & personal opinion. I mean I don't know if I rate Mosley over Oscar yet he beat him.. (They were prime too!)Comment

Can somebody tell me what Floyds best win is?
What weight did MP start out at?
How old were he & Floyd when they fought?
How many fights had MP had by this point & how many had Floyd had?
Who had fought the greater competition depth prior to this fight?Last edited by 1g5a22; 06-03-2016, 05:56 AM.Comment

after he moved past 130, it was smoke and mirrors, fighters coming off of losses and bad showings but had big names....Arum is a genius, too bad he didnt expect anyone to notice and we did lolComment

^^^^^ you know pac turds only see every one else of cherrypicking....Pacquaio and his team revolutionized cherrypickingSalty Pac turds it doesn't matter what you think, the majority of fans, fighters and experts have Mayweather as the best of the era. Be proud Pacquiao is number 2.
If you want to talk about cherry picks look no further than Pacquiao, most of his biggest wins were guys coming of losses within their last few fights.Comment

i think he was the "best" fighter of the generation, yes. he'd beat manny at any weight, and it's a toss discussion between those two only to see who is "best" from this era.
but manny has a better resume, going from flyweight to WW [which has never been done,] and most of the floyd mayweather fans don't have the chops to argue that. they go through these strange mental gymnastics to downplay something that's literally never been done in 100+ years men have been boxing with gloves on.Comment

call me what you want but you have to be an idiot to think manny was the best of this era...got knocked out by 2 no names, outboxed by past prime erik morales.....ktfo by marquez, a fighter he never beat clearly one time....and outboxed by mayweather
mayweather is the best, he won head to head, has more title defense, beat more champions and hall of famers
only fan boys would say Pacquaio when all the stats and facts say otherwise
get over it...manny was never the best, just second fiddle and thats ok
you are not gonna be considered the best when a guy goes undefeated with a better resume than you haveComment
