Manny Pacquiao is indeed the

[GOBB]

Over Floyd? Pfft

[DeuceWallaces]

What a bunch of ****. Lets see the best come down in weight and get their whoopin.

[plowking]

Really?

Floyd has to fight the best of the best? Oh the irony...

[Lebron23]

I think Pacman has the better boxing resume.

First Boxer to win the Lineal Championships in 4 Different Weight Divisions

Tied with Oscar Dela Hoya as the only 2 boxers in History to win 6 titles in 6 Different Weight Divisions. (Belts: 112, 122, 126, 130, 135 & 140).

2x Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year.



Before the Dela Hoya and Hatton Fight Pacman already defeated some All Time Greats, and after defeating Hatton and Dela Hoya he just cemented his legacy as the best fighter of this era.

I think Both Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will be on the updated lists because they had some great wins, Milestones, and great accomplishments after 2007.

If Mayweather defeated Pacman, Marquez, and Cotto/Mosley. He's going to be a Top 10 fighters of all time.

If Pacman defeated Mayweather, Cotto ( Win his 7th titles in 7th Weight Divisions), and Marquez. He's going to be a Top 10 fighters of all time.

[GOBB]

Let me be more clear. Coulds u list the all time greats in the last decade.

Oscar is one. Who are the rest.

So Floyd came at a time where there werent many all time greats to fight outside of Oscar whom he beat. Ok.

So Floyd came at a time where there werent many all time greats to fight outside of Oscar whom he beat. Ok.

That's why Floyd needs to beat Marquez, Pacquiao, and Cotto/Mosley to be consider as the best fighter in the modern era.

Sugar Ray Leonard only had 40 professional fights, but he was considered as a Top 10 Greatest boxers of all time because he defeated Hagler, Duran, and Hearns during his prime.

Beside being a 5X World Champions in 5 Different Weight Divisions.
