Who will be remembered as the greater fighter: Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather?

[tangalog2200]

These statements are why Floyd is better and greater those fights fights were considered risks for Manny but showcase or cherrpicks for Floyd. By saying that you have greater expectations for Floyd than you do Manny.

you got it all screwed up...

the measure of greatness is not always making a fight looks easy or "schooling" the opponent, so to speak.......

the by-line that pbf is so great nobody comes close to beating him and that accounts for his famous "zero"........is not, as this thread clearly show the parameter which most boxing fans adhere to....

again, do not go to the other by-line that the poll favors pac as he is a "good guy" and pbf is not....and people go to the saint...he he he....don't buy that....

[tangalog2200]

Floyd himself said he doesn't want to be known like Ali ..... Floyd said "health comes first"

Floyd admitted on several occasions that he selects his opponents carefully ....

You actually have to have the skills and resume like Ali to be in that level.

also because floyd knows his name and ali's do not go well in a sentence...

floyd will not want him to be compared to ali who took all comers,,,,including a famous uncle.........

do anyone here believes floyd could do an ali? no way Jose

That utter bull*****; greatness is produced in the ring I can care less about personalities. Risks are in the eye of the beholder cause it apparently the same risks for Manny aren't the same risks for Floyd. Rios is a threat for Manny while a risk for Floyd would be considered Andre Ward or GGG that greatness difference. Basketball terms if Melo gets out of the 1st rd thats great it's a accomplishment but if Lebron doesn't win a ring it's a failure. People expect more out of Lebron than Melo the same way people standard for Floyd is higher than Manny but yet people have the nerve call manny greater;most of the posters here are keyboard warrior idiots.

You are using Rios as example like comparing orange to apple here.

Everybody knows Floyd didn't take a risk more than enough, he also admitted about it. I make it clear to you. Let us take a look to their common opponents as example. Floyd beat Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto but a former flyweight Pac destroyed them without making a sweat. People are not blind and can see clearly what is real or smoke here. Add to that Floyd also admitted he cherry picked his fights to his advantages and won't mind someone call him a coward because he is a rich coward. He confessed his health must comes first that fight those dangerous fights what his fans want because they don't pay his bills. Here you heard it from the horse mouth but still you trying so hard to defend his action.

Some people are still saying Floyd cherry picks but Manny takes on all comers
Since his second fight with Marquez Pacquiao and his team cherry picked their way to the top,just they weren't good enough to stay there

Manny is exciting but not as great as people think
Floyd is a way better boxer,but so was Whitaker,and Hopkins,Ward Marquez and rigondeaux will be too

[Bravado]

Floyd Mayweather. Period

Better boxer doesn't mean greater. Greater should be about defying all obstacles, achieved great accomplishments and atg resume but the floydiots still will lick Floyd balls even though he already told them he cherry picked his fights, avoided dangerous fights and spitted on their face saying they (his idiot fans) don't pay his bills.

After the Marquez 2nd fight Pac fought Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, Cotto and the former 106 fighter destroyed them easily. These fighters according to you were cherry picked by Pac and his team but you forgot these fighters were the same fighters Floyd went life and death and some of them were the caused of his faked retirement to avoid younger prime version of them. So your better boxer argument=greater is bull****.

oscar and mosley was shot by the time pac faces them

Do you mean they were in prime when Floyd fought them? LMAO! Former 106 fighter Pac just showed to Floyd how to beat past prime fighters. You make them quit and run for their lives not doing the opposite.

Why not? I'm sure Floyd would grant him a rematch if Marquez really wanted it.

I mean he just KO'd the great Pacquiao. Why isn't Mayweather rematch on his TO DO list??

The haters claim May only beat Marquez because of the weight issues (hilarious).

Bro I read some of your responses and I'm not giving my answer as to who has the better legacy bc it's def close But to say that PBF is higher simply bc he dominated JMM is not too bright. Styles make fights and if u just look at it the way u were then Floyd won a 12 rd split dec to Oscar and Manny annialated him in under 9 rds. PBF beat Hatton via KO in 11, Manny rocked him in 2. Same thing goes for Cotto. So even though ur answer might be right, (but its too close in my eyes) your reasoning is off base
