    Better fighter, Floyd or Pacquiao?

    Which of the two best fighters of their generation is better?

    I'd say Floyd is the better fighter (As in, more skilled), while Pacquiao is the greater fighter (Accomplishments and resume).

    Easy answer since they fought toe to toe. Floyd is more skilled and his last 20 something fights were against current or former champions.

      Manny Pacquiao IMO. A true warrior who never ducked a fight.

          The audacity. You know nearly all of Pac's WW legacy is just him fighting Floyd's leftovers

            Bradley, Thurman, Matthysse, and Broner weren't Floyd's leftovers.

              it depends on what style you like, both are great just 2 different types of fighters.

                Btw ! Only Thurman was a real welterweight. To be clear if Floyd fought any of those besides Thurman it would’ve been considered a cherrypick. This is not a knock against pac man but it’s a fact. Also he fought Thurman at the perfect time.

                  He just ducked Spence. He ducked Yuri Foreman. He ducked Mosley. I'm not going to say he ducked Zahir Raheem, but Floyd got hell for fighting Judah right after Baldomir beat him but Manny was given a pass and was allowed to fight Morales without fighting Raheem.

                    Definitely Floyd. I really don’t see how this is still up for debate.
