I don't think you can make a case that Floyd isn't an all-time great anymore. He's just got too much done now. I didn't want to say it unless he fought Pac, but he has now (albeit it a bit late) and he beat him, clearly.

Floyd did exactly what he said he would do, take away what Manny does best. Smothered the flurries, used check hooks and used distance to control the fight.

Talks of being the best ever or all time greatest is pure nonsense. If Pac wasnt injured it would have been a very different fight. How can you trap Floyd along the ropes with one hand? At best Pac looked like Oscar when he fought him-someone who couldn't pull the trigger. Even if Pac was healthy, Floyd waited for Pac to get old and beaten twice before he took the challenge. Did this two with most of his opponenys. That's not ATG worthy argument at all.
Pac's resume/legacy remains more impressive. Floyd merely closed the gap.

Mayweather landing head punches in the beginning, made Pacquiao think a little more.
Mayweather fought his fight.
Manny did not move enough to fight his fight.
Mayweather dominated with points never hurt Pacquiao once.
Manny clearly hurt Mayweather twice, perhaps up to four times.
Pacquiao perhaps because of hurting Mayweather that he won.
Mayweather will go down as an all time good fighter. But no TBE by any means, why.
This fight should have taken place 5 years ago.
Real champs dont retire to avoid new comers when they are on a streak.
Does not matter how you slice it or cut it. Mayweather left and retired and then came back. He clearly avoided fighters. STRAIGHT UP!!!
He will be known as a great defensive fighter but too much of a runner. All my children for ever and ever will know him as a woman beater and the biggest dodger of all time.
Sad but true..
Manny is and will always be known as the best fighter of my era. Why..
Never ducked anyone
Goes Toe to Toe
Never runs..
Amen!!!!
