    I don't think a case can be made for floyd being greater than pac


    lol.

    Hopkins was way older than Calzaghe.

    Pac is 2 years younger than Floyd.

    And 4 years later Pac beat Thurman.

      Bh was older but he had hundred losses but still better so what's your point?

      Yes, Floyd was only 2 years older with 20 less fights and less wear. So what's your point?
      Yes, Pac beat thurman. Floyd didnt. So what's your point?
      Have you ever got a point?

        that was a toe to toe battle for the ages.

            In terms of greater career, you can make a case for both

            I truly believe Floyd would have beaten him 10 times out of 10 at any point, and I probably consider myself more of a Manny fan
            he didnt even win the one fight they did have and yes both guys were past it at that point, but did you see who was landing the head rocking shots? floyd kinda went into run out the clock mode in that fight. really wasn't getting any leverage starting in about round 3. he was just moving around throwing a grazing jab, off balance open handed hooks(not legal), and besides a very rare right hand with nothing on it didnt really land much. pac meanwhile was landing hard shots to the head and body and hard shots with not only the left but the right as floyd tried to spin off.

            its a shame a lot of people dont actually watch the fight and what happened. they just believe compubox. floyd landed 11 power punches in round 3...no he landed zero clean power punches in round 3. pac landed like 6. all 3 judges gave hte round to floyd so you can see what happened there. being wrong happened

            but even though pac should have won if you score on clean punches taht doesnt mean he would win 10 out of 10. i certainly wouldnt say that and even if you didnt score on clean punching and had floyd winning 7-5 or something generous i dont see how you can say he would win 10 out of 10. even factoring in politics which are always going to be in his favor that is a pretty outrageous claim. this wasn't floyd-gatti

              A lion and a kangaroo in comparison. Pac loves to fight and Floyd loves to run. As simple as that.

                Even Floyd is a kangaroo, I still want him to be the "Fighter of the Decade"!

                  People expected more from Floyd in ‘06 coz he was undefeated & the best P4P in the business. They were shocked when the Judah fight got made.

                  Dude, Raheem’s win over Morales was a fluke. He never beat another big name in his career, did he?

                    That literally does not matter. He won he was the better fight. Plus...you dont have hindsight

                      As you can see the Pac brigade is a bunch of sour assed bags of salt; bitter mother****ers who can't stand the fact that Pac's going down a #2 to Floyd's #1 and only getting that 2 spot because Dre was too inactive to keep it.

                      Floyd by a mile, you need no excuses to prop him up. Manny requires a whole novel worth of excuses at this point.
