    2) Pac was in better prime shape than Floyd, he was younger....faced softer competition.....and had no legit wins at welterweight to push him physically to where he was in a rougher condition.

    3) Pac being injured is an excuse. Its the proof that he didn't have any integrity. He walked from the fight, got raked over the coals financially by Bob Arum and guess what? Now he is of no use to Top Rank and got tossed.
    This is the biggest nonsense I have read on here.
    Pac faced softer comp? Please! All his best title fight wins aren't even in the 'Asian countries'. At least do some research.

    You don't even know who Pac is or what he's done Johnny come lately. Just say you're a Floyd fan and think he's better. You'll seem more dignified that way.

        Floyd Mayweather's win over Canelo will still be better than Keith Thurman.

        I think the fight is 50/50, because Thurman seems damaged.

          No its not. Nelo had beaten nobody and by most accounts wasn't a pfp fighter. He was drained and green. Floyd will get credit for beating that version of Nelo, nothing more nothing less.
          Pacs win over Thurman will be greater. Pacs age and Thurman is in prime and was a name when nobody knew Nelo. People only knew the name Nelo very soon before Floyd fought him and was touted as a possible opponent. But he was like wilder had fought nobody in mexico. Although lots of fights, little experience against top tier competition

            Many people where picking against Mayweather, Canelo was not that drained.

              Pacquiao should already be ranked higher than TBE (not The Best Ever) historically, no questions...

              Before somebody argues, we're not talking about who's the better boxer between them...

                    - -Canelo was literally blue at the weigh in and had a 165 lb rehydration clause limit.

                    What? You just got dropped on this earth?
