    You are a big Floyd fan arent you? Really big. You wont have a bad word said about him will you?
    Instead of saying i talk utter rubbish can you educate me with your wisdom what exactly is it i said that is not right?

    Did he fight all the WW to prove hes the best? Did he fight Brook? Did he fight Thurman? Did he rematch Pac even with controversial shoulder gate.

      He fought everyone needed to prove he was the best. He was universally recognised as P4P #1 the best fighter in the entire sport, but he wasn't the best WW? C'mon step your hate game up. ******.

        Floyd said its not about proving whos the best. And he showed that by not fighting brook and thurman and fighting Berto instead and maidana. Beating broner dont make you the best challenger for Floyd.

            He would still make Brook quit.

              Im sure Floyd has got a better resume than Brook and Thurman and historically will go down greater.
              But youve still got to fight the toughest oppoents to be the best. Beating Ortiz,, Guerrero, Maidana and Berto dont make you the best when the toughest oppoents are considered thurman and Brook at WW.
              That makes Floyd one the very best at WW same as Pac.

              But Pac aint the best WW withoiut beating those guys so why is Floyd?

There's only one 140 pounder that would favored to beat him, and that's Crawford. At 147 Spence would be (most likely) favored, and Pacquiao & Thurman honestly is probably a 50/50 affair. Some would've favored Brook previously but I still think Pacquiao beats Brook -- especially this Brook that has had his orbitals battered into submission.

                I think Terence beats Pacquiao at this point. Spence, too. Thurman I still think is 50/50. Everybody else? Pacquiao would be favored to beat them all, even at 38.
                This right here. I think Spence and Crawford would beat Pac right now.

                I consider Manny retired if I'm being honest.

                  Pac looked pretty good in the 3rd Bradley fight, obviously not the fighter he was years ago but still damn good. Against Vargas he looked like he was trying to imitate his odl self, in a span of like 6 months he went from being faded to looking close to shot.

                  Seeing that, I felt TC probably beats him now but guys like Spence and Thurman are still too basic to beat him.

                    Top 5 yes. I think pac has more to offer physically though than he does mentally towards boxing.

                      I would say most experienced, but age catches up with everyone.
