no real historian thinks Pacquiao is better than Mayweather
* Mayweathers has 3x wins better than anyone on Pac's record
* Mayweather fought better competition, 19 consecutive world champions
* Mayweather did not get KTFO on multiple occasions
it is not even close
Mayweather is top 15'ish, maybe a little higher... Pac is top 25'ish, maybe a little higher
Pac could not even separate himself from Marquz
You are nothing compare to max kellerman a well known floyd nuthugger who think that pac resume is greater and higher in ATG lb4lb ranking..
Max kellerman(floyd nuthugger) opinion has more weight than all of floyd nuthugger opinion combined..

Floyd couldn't separate himself wifh the likes of dela hoya(didn't win a single second against pac), maidana(lol lol lol), castillo(lol lol).. ****ing garbage opponent.
LOL at Cherry picks... Margarito is now a cherry pick SO MUCH REVISIONIST HISTORY IN THIS THREAD. Everyone was saying it was career suicide to fight Marg before hand.
Pacquiao RUINED Margarito. Cotto should THANK Pacquiao for crushing his eye socket.
Literally no one said that.
What you are doing is revising history. It was seen as an obvious cherrypick at the time.
Manny has always cherry picked from way back all the the way to Thurman he looks for broken soldiers or tries to drain them.
MANILA, Philippines – Former boxing great Oscar de la Hoya claimed the reason why Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao has been successful in his last fights is that he keeps on beating his opponents through the weighing scale.
De la Hoya, who was forced by Pacquiao to quit after an 8-round beating in 2008, made the claim while pushing again for a third fight between the Filipino boxer and Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
"For me, Juan Manuel won the first two fights and he's the only one who succeeded in creating problems for Pacquiao, a fighter who has always forced his opponents, including myself, to lose weight and leave everything on the scale," De la Hoya said in Boxing Scene.com.
De la Hoya, who owns majority of Golden Boy Promotions (GBP), claims Pacquiao has always forced his opponents to drop down to uncomfortable weights to make the fights.
In their 2008 fight, De la Hoya worked hard to make the 147-pound limit just to face Pacquiao. This, he claims, was the reason he lost the bout.

Pacquiao’s pay-per-view numbers have been below 1 million buys for the last several years, but by agreeing to fight the Sergio vs. Cotto winner, this is one way where Pacquiao’s PPV numbers will definitely get back to over 1 million buys. How long they stay at that level will depend on how he does against the winner of this fight, if he gets the fight, and which kind of opponents Arum matches him up against afterwards. Arum has the potential of recreating Pacquiao’s popularity if he starts matching him against good fighters with a fan base, and if he stops with the never-ending rematches.
Martinez has wanted a fight against Pacquiao for years, and he’s even volunteered to move down to 154 for the fight to take place. Obviously, Martinez would be the ideal opponent for Pacquiao, because he wants the fight so much that he would be someone that they might be able to get him to agree to a huge drop in weight to 150. It would be hard enough for Martinez to drain down to 154, but if he drains down to 150, I think the fights won for Pacquiao just based on that amount of weight loss. We could be looking at a Pacquiao vs. Oscar De La Hoya 2 type of fight with Sergio coming into the fight listless and so weak from having drained down to 150 that Pacquiao could probably knock him out by blowing his breath on him. Sergio will probably be so thankful to get the fight against Pacquiao – and the chance at a career payday – that he’ll agree to whatever catch weight handicap Pacquiao and his team ask for.
Cotto will be a lot tougher to deal with if he beats Sergio, because he’s already walked away from a huge money offer to fight Pacquiao for a second time because he didn’t want to deal with another catch weight fight. Cotto fought Pacquiao at a catch weight in 2009 while Cotto was the WBO welterweight champion, and he looked drained and weak in that fight from having to come in lighter than usual. I could see Cotto not budging on the weight if he picks up the WBC middleweight title. If Paquiao wanted to fight him, he’d likely have to have the fight take place at the full 160 lb limit for the middleweight division instead of looking to get a catch weight handicap of 155lbs with the WBC middleweight still being on the line.
Pacquiao won the WBC junior middleweight title in a catch weight fight against Antonio Margarito at 150 lbs instead of the full weight of 154 in 2010. What’s interesting in that fight, besides the considerable weight handicap, is that Margarito was the one that got to fight for the vacant WBC title instead of arguably much superior fighters like Erislandy Lara. I think it would have been a much different story if Lara had been in the ring with Pacquiao in that catch weight fight rather than Margarito, who at that point in his career looked like a shell of the fighter that he once was in his prime.
Floyd fans always need excuse s as to why Pac beat all common opponents more dominantly, spend their life trying to explain it.
Love laughing at Pac s losses but in same breath still salty they can't boast of floyd beating anyone Pac lost to. No wins over horn, morales, bradley etc

lol at this clown. He knows the facts clearly show that pacquiao is below Mayweather so he tries to prop up what paid talking heads are saying. Nobody gives a fk about what max Keller man has to say. “Bu bu max kellerman had said......” You’re a grown man sounding like a little a$$ boy lol.
Why does all hate for great non American Boxers always seem to come from America? How come Americans struggle to give none American fighters respect or admiration?
Not all Americans, some have plenty of respect for quality but the vast majority of hate and salt and bitterness always comes from the States.
