WHO IS THE BEST POUND FOR POUND

1 thing,people can say what they want but a win for EM over Manny makes him close to P4P again just as a win for Pacman means alot too. Erik lost to Pacman but did well for the beginning of the fight,lost to Raheem who makes everyone look ugly and lost to MAB on points in a match which could have gone either way(I had it to EM by 2) but my point being, a win over Erik would still be a BIG win for Manny,Erik is a legend and a dangerous threat.

Freddy Roach is always telling him to stop being so nice in the ring. Damn it Manny! Listen to Freddy! lol

COOL CLICK bro thats REAL talk!

Yup, about the gentleman part, he sometimes has overdone it. In his last fight with Larios, I just can't forget and understand why he touched gloves with Larios immediately after the two knockdowns instead of going furiously for the KO. ??? ??? ???

Hands down I'd have to say Floyd and Winky are neck in neck for the first slot.

After that...Pacquiao or Barrera...but I think that Barrera's rein of near supremacy is nearing it's end.

No matter what anyone says...critical or not...I think that Floyd is the number one guy.

Agreed. But in the minds of all Pacman fans, there is this lingering fear that he can be beaten, with the memory of his two knockdowns before his hometown crowd haunting them (including me). Strangely, Pac never seems to fight well before his hometown crowd; I think the pressure is just too much. Even in the Larios fight, he seemed to be not his usual self, only to be awaken by Larios on the 3rd round after being stunned by his furious kamikaze attack.

The only complaint I have among some of the top contenders here is that they overdo their defensive jobs; overcautios Floyd seems to approach his opponent with a ten-foot pole; Winky hiding under his gloves just a little bit too much; and Hopkins adopting hit and HOLD strategy, to the frustration of Tarver, preventing him from countering. I think these over-defensive postures take away a lot from the excitement of the fight. As a gladiator type of sports, I think they should be man enough to be fighting more offensively. This is where Floyd differs from Sugar Ray Leonard who engages his opponent a bit more to make the fight exciting.

Floyd Mayweather closely followed by Winky and Pacman.
