If Manny beats Floyd

[LazyViking]

Neither Pacquiao nor Mayweather can claim to be the greatest. Not even close.

Perfect answer.

feel matthew hatton should be somewhere in that list

Well, he did 12 tough rds with the much bigger Canelo but that's a different story

Neither are in the GOAT debate until both are long retired, this isn't the UFC, with its new GOAT ever couple months BS.

This fight will decide who backed the right horse in this era though. Quite a profound thing really, when you take into account the amount of column inches written on the subject.

GOAT Nope, greatest fighter over this period of time I would say yes.

If manny wins I don't see how he isn't in the discussion.

He's no Duran.....

He's no hearns.

Disagree. Hearns and Duran were a Duran and Hearns, respectively.

 

[Postman Prat]

The only guy who's come close to beating him was a top 20 all time fighter and he beat him.

Don't think even Jose Luis Castillo's family would rate him that highly.

The press scores are all you need to look at really. An embarrassing state of affairs. Pac threw that fight away, and seemed more than happy to be doing it at the time. His fans need to accept he stopped fighting for 6 rounds, not denying it and pointing to Fat Dan for back up. Even if I didn't think he'd lost it, I'd still be criticising Pac for talking half a fight off in a fight he should've really wanted to prove something in. But youll never hear that. Just 'Lol so robbery' with no basis for it.

And you need to accept that the overwhelming consensus then and now is that Bradley lost a clear decision. You can't dismiss that fact just because you and some contrarian disagree with it.

Both Floyd and Pac are pretty close to retirement. I think its possible to judge their resumes. They don't have nostalgia on their sides but that'll come later.

 

[Ercikjhonson**]

May be but it may be very tough job for Floyd. Manny or Floyd both will not allow each other to win the fight easily.

Except you, Bozo.

This is correct.
