What's up with all of these Floyd threads lately? I counted 6 on the front page.
How can people seriously believe Pacquiao is greater than Floyd

Mayweather:
Great fighter
One of the atgs
Always down for a catchweight
moved up in weight capturing (insert number here times) world champion
Called the tbe
Was an assassin as pretty boy
Was astute and knowledgable/ smart as money may
Was hungry
Arguably best defensive fighter ever
Beat (however many) greats
Clean image/ straight edge
However woman beater
****y and arrogant to some
Extremely disciplined
King of the PPVs
Arguably the goat
Beat this eras #1 or #2 however you see it fighter in Manny Pacquiao
A product of the American Olympics
Often quoted in a dream match with sugar Ray Leonard
Canastota bound.Comment

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 CanastotaComment

So essentially, would you rate Pacquiao higher historically than Mayweather had he beat him?note: im not talking about who's the bigger draw, who has more fans, more ppv (although they all belong to floyd). im just talking about what they achieved in the ring.
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?Comment

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.Comment

Nah it’s 5 man. I’d argue it should be 4 as I didn’t consider Manny vs Bradley 3 to be a #1 vs #2 matchup but officially it’s considered a lineal title fight by essentially all respectable archives.Nah pac was only lineal in 3

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.Nah it’s 5 man. I’d argue it should be 4 as I didn’t consider Manny vs Bradley 3 to be a #1 vs #2 matchup but officially it’s considered a lineal title fight by essentially all respectable archives.

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.Comment
