        Pacquiao:
        Great fighter
        One of the atgs
        Best Asian and Phillipines fighter
        Arguably best offensive machine
        King of the catchweights, beat everybody coming in lighter than thee lightness they had to come in
        Great historic run
        (Insert how many times) champion in different weight classes
        Lost razor thin decision to Floyd
        Arguably comparable to srl in stewards, Lampley s, merchants eyes
        Humble yet assassin
        The mexicutioner
        Went from starving to eating big but never lost his hunger
        Hated on by many
        P4p # 1 for a time being
        Action packed southpaw
        People's champ
        Humanitarian
        Politician
        Trend setter in clothes till he made that bakla comment
        Most improved player in the game since he got with Roach
        Humble
        In the tips of the tongues apologizing that he's the best after fighting him
        Who cares what he didn't do, look at what he did!
        He's a lock in Canastota

          i enjoy watching both floyd and pacquiao fights. i prefer how floyd fights more, but im trying to be objective.

          First off, Floyd has been "the man" in 4 weight classes, and Pac has only been "the man" in 3 weight classes even though he's an 8 belt title holder.

          I look through both of their resumes, and Floyd beating a prime Castillo, prime Hatton, 154 De La Hoya, prime Canelo is better than most if not all of Pacquiao's resume.

          it's funny how a lot of floyd haters say that floyd waited for his opponents past his prime, but manny's claim to fame was beating past prime fighters like barrera, and morales who beat his ass first time they fought.


          manny has fought a lot of fighters coming off of a loss. Floyd sometimes did it in the past (Judah comes to mind), but he has also beaten a lot of boxers after their best performance.

          manny has also been knocked out twice early when he was 17 and 20. now i can understand why people don't really count these losses, as he wasn't in his "prime" yet, but let's be real. imagine if floyd got knocked out once early in his career? floyd haters would be bringing that up nonstop.

          oh, and Floyd beat Manny quite easily in their fight. that's what's most confusing. If floyd and manny fought MAYBE, i can see why people debate this. but they literally fought and manny got schooled lol.

          im down for debate, what are the reasons why manny supposedly has a better resume?
          So essentially, would you rate Pacquiao higher historically than Mayweather had he beat him?

            I think people prefer Pacquiao’s more aggressive, fan-friendly style of fighting and respect that he took on more dangerous opponents in their prime.

            I didn’t like to watch Floyd until I got heavy enough into boxing to understand the nuances of timing, distance, and adjustments.

                    I apologize for posting an old article. The one I posted was from 2015. You are correct. I'd rep you but my rep is shot lol.

                    See, with posters like you, I learn a thing or two I didn't know before. I hate stan wars because nothing objective ever comes out of it. Like I said, I like both Floyd and Pac, so it's nice when someone who can call me out when I'm wrong.

                      Ok then you’re a guy who’s interest in boxing begins and ends with Floyd mayweather. If you’re so interested in the subject of Floyd/pac, why did you wait til last year to start posting? I mean, that started in 2009. Not an alt doe...
