Floyd or Pacquiao, who ranks higher?

Manny fought grade A fighters but let's not forget Floyd climbed divisions to become recognized as a possible all time great. I am praising him as boxing's best chess master since Ali but Manny risked it all during his career and deserves our praises but Floyd may not be a scholar but his concentration and planning puts him levels above fighter in higher weight divisions and in years to come. He is the better fighter but I still don't like him but give him credit. He still needs a personality transplant.

I’ll start off by saying that I think that Pacquiao has a better resume than Floyd, but people are acting as if Floyd just ducked people and Pacquiao fought all top guys in their prime.

Pacquiao has multiple catch weight fights and refused to fight certain fighters too. He also had very sketchy PED accusations. I’m only saying this because people seem to be acting like Floyd was the only one of the two who tried to put advantages into his favor. Pacquiao did it all of the time.

It looks like you have answered your own question with accomplishments. Pacquiao is still semi active. I don't get why so many want to compare Mayweather's career with Pacquiao's career. They have completely different backgrounds. Pacquiao and Duran have more similar backgrounds both coming from living and working the streets. Mayweather is from a boxing family and had a prominent armature career before turning pro. I think a better comparison is with Dela Hoya.

I'm insulted by this post. Honestly. To even ask that about a man who Mayweather beat is just disrespectful. It can be misconstrued as racist, but truly I think you guys just hate Mayweather personally. lol.... (but it may have roots in racism)


That's like still asking who was better- Ray Leonard or Hagler when the matter was settled in the ring. Not even like who's better, Ali or Tyson. lol...mor Marciano or Tyson.

I propose to give ykdadamaja an yellow card for being disrespectful toward those who hate Floyd.
