So did Mayweather surpass Pacquiao, accomplishment wise after this win?

[Ryannn]

no non-bias fan of the sport will tell you that pacquiao is greater or better than floyd. floyd has the better resume and the better technical skill.

Floyd is better technically.

Resume, I don't know about that.

As I said before, Pacquiao will still be remembered as the greater fighter, just as Duran is remembered as greater than Leonard, despite losing to him twice, and Hearns, and Hagler.

What he did before that made none of it matter. Same with Pacquiao.

Everyone knows that fights between fighters at the end of their career dont matter, just like nobody is holding Roys current career against his greatness, or Kovalev and Dawson against Hopkins.

You live in a dream world.

The difference is Duran beat Leonard. Which adds massively to his greatness. Pacquaio hasn't and won't beat Mayweather.

To compare Pacquaio today, #2 P4P to Roy Jones' corpse and a nearing 50 Bernard Hopkins is also ******ed.

floyds win over pacquiao is greater than any win on either guys resume and its not really arguable.

I agree.......

Floyd is better technically.

Resume, I don't know about that.

ummmmmm yes we do know about that....does floyd have any losses? didn't floyd just take manny's a$$ to school 24 hours ago?

Floyd beating Pac TODAY doesn't make him the best of this era

the fight just resolves who's the better between the two in terms of matchup

Bradley's win over Pac is more significant than this resume wise

There are a lot of fighters with loses that are considered greater than both Pacquiao and Floyd.

pretty much everyone agreed this fight would determine who was the greatest fighter of this era. all the writers, the sanctioning bodies, n most who follow boxing hardcore. that discussion is over.

If Pac was not robbed in the Bradley fight, and Timmy really won then sure, it's definitely a better win.

Despite Pacquiao not being prime, It's still a huge boost to Floyd's resume. Pacquiao is a legit ATG and would probably beat the rest of the WW despite being a natural 140lber at this point. Not to mention Floyd was able to unify the belts after the win which is kind of a big deal.

Despite the fight being far from FOTY, this is quite a boost for his legacy IMO.

Yeah it a great win for FLoyd regardless, but i agree. The timing of this fight was 5 years past what it should've been. It's just what it is.


Going further, if you look at the overall spectrum.

We're later going to be comparing this Mega Fight, to Duran vs Leanord, and it falls short simply because one was prime for prime, and the other both were past it.

That's the only thing that hurts it, the timing. But a great win nonetheless.
