I can understand the argument for either side but for me at the moment it's Pac if they retired tomorrow.
However,if Floyd beats both Marquez and pac I would have to give it to Mayweather.it's that close.

It remains to be seen, but right now I would say Pacquiao by a very small margin.

Mayweather by the closest of margins...

a dont even think its that close ppl getting a bit carried away with the hatton ko a think maywather would see off pacman quite easy imo

In terms of achievements, its Pacquiao for me. In terms of skill though, its Floyd Mayweather Jr.

If they were to fight I think Floyd beats Pac.
However we are talking about current Legacy and with 4 lineal championships and titles in 6 weight classes Pac's legacy is marginally better than Floyd's imo.

I can't see how anyone wouldn't think its close? Pacquiao' fights with Barrera, Morales & Marquez are more than enough to make it close. But for me the loses are one factor in the difference! Morales beat him (sure he avenged that lose twice, dominately which shows how great Pacquiao is but he was beaten) & both Marquez fight arguably could have gone either way (I thought Marquez won both).

I would agree with you on Marquez maybe scraping the 2nd fight but not the first.

pacman currently

he ko'ed Hatton in 2, Mayweather in 10

he ko'ed DLH in 9 . Mayweather barely beat him

btw Castillo beat PBF inthe first fight.

At this point in time, I think PAC has the better boxing legacy compared to PBF... PAC a 4-time lineal champ (the only boxer to achieved 4 lineal titles) and a 6-division titliest... PBF a 5-division titliest...

PAC:
1998-12-04 112 Chatchai Sasakul - LINEAL TITLE
2001-06-23 122 Lehlohonolo Ledwaba
2003-11-15 126 Marco Antonio Barrera - LINEAL TITLE
2008-03-15 130 Juan Manuel Marquez - LINEAL TITLE
2008-06-28 135 David Diaz
2009-05-02 140 Ricky Hatton - LINEAL TITLE


PBF:
1998-10-03 130 Genaro Hernandez
2002-04-20 135 Jose Luis Castillo
2005-06-25 140 Arturo Gatti
2006-04-08 147 Zab Judah
2007-05-05 154 Oscar De La Hoya

I think there were two similar threads to this topic recently.

Just look through those two and people have already spoken their opinion about this...
