pacquiao has a better resume. i still think floyd would have beaten him in their primes.

pacquiao all the way.. the other one is even insecure with a lot of things. pac-mayweather 2014 remains competitive.Comment

Going to wait until their runs are over before I can tell.
If Pacquiao doesn't renew his contract with Bob Arum, that means he wants the fight. If Mayweather doesn't fight him then, it's on him.
Right now it's on Pacquiao to make the right move and leave Bob Arum.Comment

Mayweather will be remembered as the richest boxer (probably of all time). Pacquiao will be remembered as one of the most exciting boxers of all time.
Years after both guys retire I'd still prefer watching Pacquiao's fights over Mayweather. I think it's gonna be the same with TV networks...they'll be showing re-runs of Pacquaio fights for ratings, can't say the same about Mayweather bouts. YouTuber's will continue to make Pacquiao highlight videos years after he retires.
Money wise: Manny has chump change compared to Floyd.
Exciting fights that people would wanna re-visit years after they actually happen: Manny (hands down)
Legacy wise: Manny > FloydComment

That is possible, but I do doubt it. Canelo needs to learn English to be able to connect with the non-Mexican audience well. Imagine a well spoken English speaking Canelo..he would have been like Oscar De La Hoya...can connect with the Mexican + American audience, got the looks, an exciting style that people wanna watch.Originally posted by bigsmoothh View Post
The above + if Canelo manages to take the Mexican holiday fight dates away from Mayweather = Huge PPV numbers for Canelo. Given that Mayweather is about to retire soon I don't see any one else other than Canelo getting those holiday fight dates.Comment

I think the results of this poll are ridiculous. The argument that Manny fought guys that Floyd didn't holds a little water to some degree, but there are a couple things to keep in mind.
1. Sure Manny fought Erik Morales, but he also was dominated more or less by Erik's jab. He did win the other Morales fight though showing some ability to adjust. Too bad he didn't adjust during the actual fight.
2. Manny fought some guys that Floyd is accused of ducking, ie Margarito, Clottey, etc. but weren't at least some of these guys Bob Arum fighters? Does anybody think Tony would really be able to handle Floyd's speed? Margarito is way too slow. I know Clottey and Cotto had a good fight but against Manny, Clottey just wanted to block all day. I don't think that would have gotten the job done against Floyd. I give these arguments about as much merit as I would give the argument that Manny didn't fight Genaro, Chico, or Castillo twice. As far as common opponents, Manny did get rid of a faded Hatton faster than Floyd, but certainly that wasn't the undefeated Hatton that showed up for Floyd when the MGM ran out of beer. In my opinion Manny lost at least 3 of the JMM fights, FMJ won 120-108. None of this is relevant to me.
3. I would close by just stating that Floyd has officially never been beat. There may be a vague blueprint on how to beat Floyd, but so far nobody has gotten the job done. Manny has been officially beat many times and unofficially many more. The margin of this poll for Manny astounds me.Comment
