    The Canelo that beat the hell out of Angulo would have destroyed Thurman.

      You guys have been doing this for well over a decade now. Please, for your own sakes, just stop.

        He fought most of his career at 147...

          Yep, Floyd may be the better boxer but what Pacquiao accomplished is probably never gonna be duplicated ever.

            pac got a win at 40, over a REAL ww who is in his prime. hard to beat that. canelo is the better fighter no doubt, just the timing is what put a sour taste to it.
            I still think Canelo at that time would've beat Thurman easily. Especially with the gameplan he had tonight.

            I ask everybody here. Do not think 41 yo Floyd would've beat Thurman tonight?

              Yeah, and he would have destroyed Mayweather too.

                Boxrec already has Pacquaio #2 all time.

                But they still have Mayweather #1 by a wide margin.

                Pacquiao looked great tonight. However, it just makes Mayweather's dominant win over him look that much more impressive.

                  Cant really gauge Lopez then he was fighting with multiple injuries, wasn't training as hard because of those injuries, and just using his name for the paycheck. I agree that the Canelo win is better though even outside that reasoning.

                    Manny tops Floyd here, no doubt at all.

                    He took the risks and dared to be great.

                    Floyd avoided risks and chased $$$.

                    Manny worships God, Floyd worships nothing but profit.
