Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter: I Would Rather Have Had Pacquiao's Career Than Mayweather's

[Jab jab boom]

Younger delahoya? Pac face him in less than a year and pac beat him in every second of the fight while floyd could only win a gift decision. Marquez? you should be ashamed for even mentioning this fight. Floyd make jmm go up 2 divison and cheated him during weigh in, jmm is bloated and so small compared to him and he isn'tunser memo yet. Clenelo? a weightdrained clenelo who is so slow and green. They are the safest and no threat path but atleast high reward oh yeah that's floyd style..

1. Less than a yr? Do the math, it was 17 months later. 2. Doesn't matter what weight class it was, mayweather was just much better than Marquez. 3. OK, fine Canelo was weight drained, then so was Oscar and cotto when pac fought them, right? If Floyd took the easy route, then so did pac. Stop being a hypocrite.

While it’s impressive that Manny won titles in 8 different divisions, it’s a ****** argument to compare that to Floyd only winning in 5 different weight classes. Floyd could only start his career at his comfortable weight coming out of the Olympics which was 130, at super featherweight. Floyd won titles in 5 consecutive weight classes, super featherweight title, lightweight title, super lightweight title, welterweight titles, super welterweight title. What was Floyd supposed to do, go and get a middleweight title, a super middleweight title, and a lightweight title just to say he won in (8) divisions.

Only (2) all-time fighters started at Floyd’s Professional debut weight or a weight above. Sugar Ray Robinson started his career at lightweight and went all the way up to light heavyweight but only won titles as a middleweight.

Roberto Duran started his professional career at super featherweight, and went all the way up to Super Middleweight. Had Duran won a title in every division, he would have had (7) but instead he won titles in (4) different divisions. But (7) still isn’t (8) different divisions had Duran been successful.

Now Manny is the only (8) division title holder in the history of boxing but he started at FLYWEIGHT people, 5 divisions BELOW where Floyd started his career. So of course he would win titles in more weight divisions with boxing talent on the same level or in the league as Floyd. How many divisions would Floyd have won in had he started at flyweight too. When Floyd won his 1st title at at 21 at Super Featherweight, it was against Hernandez who at the time was ranked by Ring Magazine #1 at that weight. If Floyd started his career at Flyweight with his talent, he would have won titles in (8) divisions too with ease.

I would take making the most money with the least amount of physical damage in my career over being a bigger fan favorite and a hero outside the ring any day. And most logical people on this forum would want to have the highest earnings with the least amount of risk to have brain damage later on. But this forum isn’t logical, I forgot; LMAO!!!!

Pac
8 division champion
5 division lineal champion
112lbs-154lbs champion
4 decade champion
oldest welterweight champion
Youngest lineal flyweight champion
Hailed as a warrior

Floyd
5 division
4 division lineal champ
Undefeated
Hailed as a coward

It's no brainer...
You want to be called the greatest and a warrior or you want to be just meeeh and a coward?

hmm, hate to be a stickler, but pac didn't really win an actual world title from any of the 4 recognized/sanctioned boxing organizations at featherweight and junior welterweight, did he? I know he won an imaginary belt in those weight classes but as per box rec and the hall of fame, those don't count. So, he's actually a 6 division world champion, lucky for you he gets credit for that scam wbc title match vs margarito. Without that corruption he'd be a 5 division world champion. Facts are facts. But hey, as long as he's an 8 division champion in your heart, that's all that matters.

[just the facts]

Sounds kinda dumb on Porters part, Mayweather made considerably more money.

You're the hypocrite. Much better than jmm. Jmm said he was outweighed by 15-20lbs st fight night and that was the jmm who drink piss not memo special ingredients..pac beat every common opponent much much much better than floyd. Sorry, Floyd has fought the safest route and has the history of doing it.

That's all IF. This is another IF, if floyd started his careee as a flyweight i doubt he will be even recognize because he will have multiple losses and probably no one will care about him cuz he's not undefeated and probably he will just retired after several losses.

You make no sense at all lol. What Flyweight is all the killers lol, Floyd would go through whatever division he started in the same way by destroying them.

Dam they were both 130 fighters and there PBF would destroy Manny, I mean ice him , put him to sleep, Manny was not in Floyds class at the lighter weights, Manny was nearly stopped saved by the referee with a C grade Hussain.

Early Floyd would so have blow Manny away.

Lol. What floyd had done in flyweight to be even a world champion? Anyway those are just speculation we talk the FACTS:

Pac
8 division champ
5 div lineal champ
4 decade champ
Oldest welterweight champ
Flyweight champ upto jr. Middleweight champ
Youngest lineal champ

Floyd
5 div champ
3 div lineal champ
3 decade champ
Undefeated*

According to these facts pac blows floyd away not even close.

[pepzz]
