        and them hands of glass.

          I'll bite: Pacquiao

          1. Marco Antonio Barrera (28 years Old, Prime HoF) at prime weight
          2. Juan Manuel Marquez (33 years old, Prime or near Prime HoF) At best weight
          3. Erik Morales (29 years old, Passed it, but still very good Future HoF) at the weight where he beat Pacquiao
          4. Miguel Cotto (28 years old, 145 CW)
          5. Timothy Bradley (28 years old, Prime. Future HoF)
          6. Ricky Hatton
          7. David Diaz
          8. Ledwaba
          9. Jessie Vargas
          10. Antonio Margarito
          11. Clottey
          12. Sasakul
          13. Agapito Sanchez
          14. Oscar Dela Hoya
          15. Shane Mosley

          Compared that to Mayweather:

          1. Pacquiao (36 years old, recently KO'ed)
          2. Marquez (2 divisions moving up.)
          3. Victor Ortiz
          4. Marcos Maidana
          5. Diego Corrales
          6. Castillo
          7. Dela Hoya
          8. Shane Mosley
          9. Guerrero
          10. Judah
          11. Canelo Alvarez (22 years old, 152)
          12. Miguel Cotto (KO'ed twice, 31 years old at 154)
          13. Ricky Hatton
          14. Genaro Hernandez
          15. Baldomir
          ---------------------------

          Marco Antonio Barrera, Bradley, and JMM alone which all of them where in their prime or near it trumps 10-15 names of Mayweather's resume.

              Have you got your pom POM's with you cheerleading Floyd?
              PACs got a better resume. Floyd's best opponent is past prime PAC.
              That sums Floyd up.

                Floyd never tried to be great.

                Haymon managed his career, not for greatness but for money.

                Haymon came from the music industry, where it not about creating the best music, it is about sales and making money.

                You do this, not by the music, but by selling the brand.

                Floyd said so himself numerous time, it was about making smart move, to move him up a level and expand the brand, not about fighting the best.

                That smart business acumen helped in stacking the deck in his favor in many of the the pre fight negotiations

                  Read who Im commenting too he was talking about the Mosley Floyd beat as being old, it was the very same Mosley that Manny wanted nothing too do with.

                  Its all relative buddy, Manny and Floyd are universally tied together, you cant rubbish one and praise the other, both great fighters that don't need a line of childish haters dogging them, Im glad they came along in my lifetime.

                    may beat every style
                    pacs w/l rec above ww is laughable

                    may beats EVERYONE pac beat when he beat them
                    i defy someone to say differently
                    nelo would not only kill pac (above ww) but cause a mass filipino suicide.
                    hed eat up those brave, forward moving, face 1st types

                    may and pac fought in the same era and its may who dominated the p4p/ppv lists
