Better fighter, Floyd or Pacquiao?

[spenz]

Depends on which flavor you like defense or offense. Defensively it's floyd, offensively it's pacquiao.

Just don't let them fight with each other because you will get nothing nada,--their level is so equal that they just cancel out each other. They can't hit each other, it's like both of them are in their own matrix world, it's possibly fascinating to hardcore fans, but definitely boring to casual fans. It's like a battle between a mongoose and a cat, you don't see this thing, but when they do they can't touch each other, why then even bother to fight.

Floyd.
Nuff said.

[Rip Chudd]

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

Neither was Cotto. Floyd fought Manny's leftovers

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.

Oh please not with this Raheem fella again. Who the hell wanted to see Pacquiao-Raheem? The fans wanted to see Pacquiao-Morales 2. Besides, Raheem hasn’t done jack sh17 since that fluke win over fat Morales at 135.

I don’t ever want to hear you say that one hit wonder was ducked by Pacquiao or the other top guys of the past again. Ever.

Floyd is the better fighter.

[Bundt]

The best fighter? Say you’re in a dark alley, 3am, and the other side of you is an angry Floyd and Manny. You can pass to the other side but you have to fight one of them for a round. I’d rather fight Floyd and be bruised than fight Manny and be bruised and battered.

[CHOWWOKKA]

You can argue both fighters avoided opponents and both fighters cherry picked opponents.
But what you cannot argue is that the bar has always been set higher by Floyd.
Some of Mannys best wins would have been looked at as cherrypicks by Floyd. You cannot say that inversely.

Lol. I said I'm not going to say he ducked Raheem. But I did draw the parallel to Floyd - Zab and Baldomir.

You know you aren't helping Manny's case by saying "the fans didnt want to see Manny-Raheem"

[Lomadeaux]

They fought and Floyd won.
