Who Fought the Better Fighters? Mayweather or Pacquiao?

[THE THIRD MAN]

Honestly, this thread is probably going to start a war. I know a case could be made for each fighter, but I think Pacquiao's record is way better than Mayweather's.

He fought Marquez, Barrera and Morales in a total of 8 fights. Who would fight first ballot hall of famers (for their boxing ability not their popularity) a total of 8 times like that?

He also fought Cotto and Margarito; fighters Floyd did not fight that the public wanted to see.

Floyd has some big names on his resume as well but it's just not on the same level of Manny's

Yea but we also have look at how they beat those fighters and what condition they were in at the time..

Pac beat Marquez ONLY ON PAPER, but he pretty much got exposed..

Morales and Barrera were past their best..

Delahoya was a walking Zombie

Margarito is slow like a snail and was tailor made... He was cherry picked at a CW..

Cotto was a decent victory..

Past their best? Barerra was coming off a string of wins and was only 29 when he first lost to the Pacman, i would say that Barrera was at his peak in 2003? Morales was also just 29 in 2005 when he first beat Pacman, can't see how either fighter was past his best when they fought Pacquaio?
Both fighters have great resumes, i give Pacman the edge as he fought so many times against Barrera, Morales, Marquez and then moved up in weight to beat Cotto, Hatton, Margo, DLH and Mosley. Floyd missed some along the way, Tszyu, Cotto and Margo are not there. Floyd just doesn't fight often enough these days, why he hasn't fought Cotto is still a mystery to me..
