And, even beating Pac won't put him greater than Whitaker. And, Pac might be the best win of his career.Last edited by Roman Moreno; 05-14-2012, 02:00 AM.

Whitaker is the better fighter and has the better resume
he consolidated LW, which prime Floyd failed to do
JMW Vasquez is a better win that most give Pea credit for too

Whitaker by a ****s hair. The gap isn't as wide as some in this thread are making it out to be.
BTW, Floyd's win over Marquez is comparable if not greater than Whitaker's win over Nelson.
Floyd has nothing close to a prime Chavez Sr. on his resume though.

whitaker. he cleaned out the lightweight division and left no doubt who the best 135lb fighter. floyd didnt do that. there was fighters like a spadafora a 5'9 slick southpaw who would gave him all he cud handle and maybe beat him. whitaker moved up and still was dominated and you can make a case that he should of been undefeated when he fought trinidad. a lot of ppl like myself felt he beat dlh and the ramirez robbery and chavez draw was a joke. people dont kno buddy mcgirt and amzmuah nelson were no joke. nelson was wat 8-0 wen he fought salvador sanchez. and was a hell of champion.
just a different breed of fighters back then. i just dont see floyd staying undefeated at that era. for whitaker to stay at the top in that era with all the personal problems he had and to be in there with dlh and trinidad in their prime who were taking guys out at 147 they couldnt take him out amazing

Not only are people discrediting the McGirt wins. But, I even see people discrediting the Azumah Nelson win. Which is mind boggling to me.
And, every Floyd dickrider will disagree with this. But, Floyd does NOT have a win better than Whitaker win over Nelson.
And, I'm not even going to touch the Chavez and Ramirez travesties.
