If Pacquiao beats Thurman he has to rank over Floyd historically

Whoever doesn't think Pac is the best of era hasn't thought about it realistically and fair enough.
It's what you do out of prime also. Pac is 40 fighting a great prime natural ww. No CW, or fighting green opponents whilst they're drained nonsense.
Floyd was hard to hit and even not taking.much.punishment and having only 49 fights couldn't extend his career.
Pac is the best of era. There isn't much doubt really. Whether Floyd is no2 or no3 is more debatable and realistic.Last edited by hugh grant; 05-18-2019, 08:02 AM.Comment

Barrera was prime coming off 9 win streak. Pac has 2 wins, 3 if not scorecard error. Which if my calculations are correct is better than one win. I'm not even going to say it was a cheated scales win as I'm kind to floyd.Comment

Never
He lost and Floyd fought mostly a defense fight . When Floyd Snr told him he was fighting scared after rd 7 . Floyd came out start to sit on his punches and stun Pac-Man . I have no idea why backed off again start his defense style . The straight hand was there all day for Floyd . He would foot off the the front foot he would’ve KO Pac-Man . Get over your guy lost but he is still a legend in my book still fight top guys . I’m fan of pacs but no way was he a better fighter ever . Prime or not same resultComment

Pac s had a greater career is what people are talking about. He beat jmm 3 times if not scorecard error. He beat Bradley 3 times if not robbery. He beat barrera twice. Morales x2. He was greater coming back from adversity and proved He can. Floyd never took riskes, never fought outside country, rarely fought toughest opponent available ie berto rather than thurman, never fought anyone who he was underdog against so didn't want to overcome any adversity.
Pac is just greater. That's all people are sayingLast edited by hugh grant; 05-18-2019, 09:25 AM.Comment

What has Thurman done lately? Struggle with Lopez? At this point, Thurman is a part of the tier 2 at welter. Danny Garcia would beat the brakes off the Pacman, which is why he skipped it. Thurman is the easiest, acceptable fight, other than pure cans.
Not even sure if Thurman can beat Broner convincingly. I'd pick Mikey to beat him.Comment
