Honestly I look to see if it's a fair fight first and are they even the same size. Just like if I saw a dude beating up a chick I'm not going to say "Hey he's MexiCAN so she deserved it".Comment

There's not that much between them but pacquiao is slightly greater in my opinion.
He dared to be great a little more than Floyd and has the slightly better resume.
Pep lost to saddler, Duran lost to Hearns, Louis lost to Marciano etc. Are Duran pep and Louis not greater overall than their 3 opponents??
Pacquiao demolished fighters that Floyd struggled with too.
And on Floyd's biggest night, where he had every advantage, ( size, strength, weight, arm length) he safety first'd against a lightweight pacquiao fighting at welter. If pacquiao had those same advantages over Floyd do u think he would have fiddled and farted about in there??? NO, he would have stepped to Floyd and demolished him (daring to be great)
Both all time greats but pacquiao edges it for meComment

Mayweather is simply better in every department
there is only one criteria for greatness...
WHO did you beat... with consideration given to when/how
consideration is also given to losses, but mainly when comparing fighters against other greats... because greatness is defined by high-points, not by low-points
that is how historians rate fighters, check Cliff Rold's MAAT
comparing fighters against other greats, is what we are doing now... so losses are relevant, and do count
it is actually ridiculous to suggest that losses do not count
Mayweather simply has a better resume than Pacquiao
he beat better caliber fighters, when they were at a better stage in their career
there are plenty of question-marks over Pacquiao's career... he was very carefully managed, and not the fearless warrior you make out... from manny-weight... to the best match-making in the business from Bruce Trampler and Brad Goodman... fighting guys at the very lowest point in their career like Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, etc...
there was a string of red-hot #3 welters... Pac did not fight any of them, not one... until he faced Mayweather, Pac's only top 5 opponent was Bradley... Mayweather fought ALL of those number #3 welters, when they were hot
while Mayweather was fighting those hot #3's... Pac was fighting all those Top Rank inhouse junior welters, at 144... Rios Algieri Vargas Matthyse...
... why wouldn't Pac rematch Cotto at 150? ... Arum said Cotto was their first pick, but that fight died over weight... Pac demanded 147, knowing Cotto had moved up to 154, and he would not negotiate like he did with Margarito... and why all those excuses to avoid Mosley, until it became clearly obvious that Shane was shot?
and then, there are other su****ions... lets just leave that one there
Pacquiao does not have wins that match the following...
* Canelo
* Pacquiao
* Marquez
those 3 wins are better than anything ob Pac's resume
Mayweather achieved better high-points than Pacquiao, not even close
and he did not experience the low-points... numerous losses, some by shocking knockout
really... it is not that close
like I have been saying for years, and nothing has changed... Mayweather is top 15'ish, maybe slightly higher... Pacquiao is top 25'ish, maybe slightly higherComment
