    No

    Floyd didn’t fight above his natural weight for the last decade of his career. Manny stopped getting credit for fighting at welterweight. The dude eats to make weight.

      I’m am believer that floyd did not beat Pacquiao with an even deck.
      NSAC , VADA and Vegas were in floyd’s pocket and we all know that.
      In terms of a better resume and achievements no one has ever done what Pacquiao did and he still pulled it off against a prime 30 year old capable champion at almost 41...it’s amazing when you really break it down and analyse it

        Making these threads are so pointless nowadays. The majority of Pacquiao fans are still bitter and unreasonable when it comes to the Floyd fight. They’ll always go the extra mile to convince themselves that Manny didn’t lose that fight and will always find a way to downplay it. Nothing will change their mind about the outcome of that fight. In their mind, Pacquiao has never suffered any true defeat. It’s 2019, the fight happened in 2015 when they were both out of their prime and Floyd won it fair and square. Let it go...

          The guy waited for manny Pacquiao to get past his prime. Yes he can still fight but didn’t fight him when he was at the top.

            Yes but let’s add that Pacquiao wasn’t 100 percent in that fight. Mayweather waited till he got older.

              lube that bumhole up for pretty boy floyd son...he’s coming for you.
              Pacquiao overall is a greater all time fighter than mayweather.
              Facts are facts and manny is still facing dangerous fighters even at 41...floyd is facing sushi makers

                FLoyd would almost shut out someone basic like Thurman

                Anyway, If you wanna compare their careers then you could say Pac has had a better or more exciting career but Floyd was a still the better fighter anyway.

                Salty.


                Floyd wouldn't score a KD against Thurman.



                Canelo at a CW?


                Sure he can.

Robbed by Horn too and still came back at his age. He beat most of those men that Floyd faced too more convincingly. That's called being better than Floyd. Floyd gets some credit for the Nelo win but he certainly didn't do it properly with the deliberate weight draining catchweight and the timing of the fight. Anyone who falsely retires to duck fighters is also a chump in my eyes. His legacy is way too tainted by controversy to be considered a legit ATG one.
                  Most the men you named that he beat more convincingly was either coming off a loss or has looked bad coming into the fight with manny. Floyd fought delahoya at his rules and weight. Fought a undefeated hatton and mosley after destroying margarito.

                  Manny got them after they lost to floyd or didn’t look good in there previous fight.

                  And if floyd fought the likes of a Jeff horn or Chris algirie he would get crucified.

                    You do know floyd is older than manny right. And it’s funny how everybody is saying how young he looks against Thurman,broner, and mathysse.

                    But let floyd fight and beat Pac again and see how fast gray hairs mysteriously pop up on manny.

                      Weight drain Canelo? I think Pac did something similar with Coto.
