Without Cortez or blinkers on though Mannys win is Far more impressive. By a country mile. Scared the krap out of me. Even though against Floyd was his first KO I wasn't worried for his welfare like against Manny.

Re: Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition
Well no doubt Manny's win was more violent and dominant.Originally Posted by Greenbeanz
Larry Holmes' win over Ali was more dominant than Frazier's, but we don't assign more value to Holmes for that.

The majority of us would probably all agree that floyd has the edge in the harder opponents and has consistently beat everyone of his 47 opponents including castillo with a torn rotator.
Can we please discuss manny pac 5 losses..?
Do you think we could touch on that a teeny weeny bit?
Manny is a great guy (no doubt) but lets exclude the wars he had with marquez with the last one leaving him completely sparked out by an out of prime 40 year old who jumped up in weight?!!
Lets stay away from the easy accusation of nut hugging and deflecting the arguement and deal with mannys great but flawed record.
Floyd and manny are worlds apart in skill and £worth£ but lets keep ignoring it and make it seem like manny is ying to floyds yang as it keeps everyone guessing..
Next time this thread should be between manny and bradley as they both beat each other but after bradleys injury in the second fight it was plain to see he was a different fighter (again).
Close your eyes.
Put your house on the fight.
Be honest with yourself
Who would you really bet on to win..exactly.

Floyd would win so take the fight and not pussy out and accuse him of drug taking.

Re: Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition
Manny has losses because he dared to be great. Floyd doesn't because he cares for the 0 more than anything. Floyd thinks that retiring undefeated will make him " TBE " where Manny has lost attempting to prove it.

Re: Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition
Seems like the majority on the board feel Pac fought tougher comp. I only see yourself and Beanflicker saying opposite and really not making much sense or a convincing argument. You can see the bias come through in your guys posts. Honestly, you don't make very many rational, unbiased observations, you just get frustrated and end up off topic on who would win a head to head fight, who beat what version of whom...etc. Good down the list. Look at 1) fighters ranked P4P at the time of the fight, 2) Times either guy was the considerable underdog and won 3) How many prime HOF fighters each guy fought. That should be your criteria and it isn't even close. I will help out and post so you guys don't have to do the work and look it up.

Re: Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition
I think the bigger issue for many Mayweather fans that Pac fans don't understand and therefore don't want to address is the fact that Pacquiao refused drug testing for so long and for such ridiculous reasons that his credibility is shot.

His logo is TMT. I didn't expect him to be rational when it came to Floyd.Seems like the majority on the board feel Pac fought tougher comp.

Let's be honest though. Floyd hasn't lost. That's something Manny can't claim. Like Manny, he's a multiple weight champion. Are some of his wins manufactured? Yes. Are some of Manny's? Yes. Even with the weight advantage, he did something Manny has never been able to do and that's skunk Marquez. Has his opposition in the last few years been less than desired? Absolutely. Still though, he's done for the most part what he should do with that opposition. I would say his best wins came more than a few years ago. I would also say he's comparable with Manny on a historical scale. In other words, there isn't a ton separating them.
