Is it possible for Pacquiao to catch Floyd all-time?

[ezrathegreat]

Only on the internet can someone claim that a fighter who lost to an undefeated goat, and took multiple L's after that fight is better than the undefeated goat.

How many HOF fighters floyd beat in they prime? Cant think of 1... castillo, corrales , genaro and a young canelo are his most legit wins and the first 3 arent hall of famers..

Now off the top Pacquiao got like 5 under his belt morales/barrera/marquez and then cotto and tim bradley cant see any floyd wins being better than those unless canelo goes on to do some incredible shyt

After spence wax CaSteroidsyo his legacy will be solidified

Pac beat marquez and Cotto before floyd
Floyd beat oscar, hatton, and Mosley before pac

That's only a difference of one

Did Mayweather really beat Oscar though

Y’all really in here making an argument that pac who lost to Floyd is better than Floyd

Are we talking about individual one on one as fighters? Then Floyd probability gets the nod. More technical better defense. Crazy speed, reflexes, great ring IQ, etc... also let’s not forget Floyd naturally is the bigger guy.


Now if we talking about just based on accomplishments and who fought better competition in there primes? Going through multiple weight divisions and fighting the best fighters? Then yeah PAC gets the nod.

Started at Flyweight with lineal titles and went ALL THE WAY UP to Welterweight that shyt wont be done again. EVER.

SRR and arguably SRL is over Floyd

35 year old Ray lost to Norris/got whooped

36 year old Floyd put the hands on Canelo/whooped
him


I don't recall Ray Robinson ever being ko'd

 

[shroommon]

if Manny beat Thurman it'll put him in discussion ... If he adds Danny Garcia or another top 147 on his resume we gon have to revisit this topic

He was stopped once because of a heat stroke in a fight he was winning

The heat got to Ray yeah but Maxim himself didnt ko him, I was looking at it from a non technical standpoint. Easily one of the goat chins.

it makes for good discussion but I can’t really compare Floyd to ppl before my era. I don’t know enough about sugar ray Robinson or sugar ray Leonard. But I know Floyd beats paq any age or weight class they fight at.

 

[THE MACHINE]

So if Manny beats Thurman and let's say, Spence, how is he not at least tied?? This makes no sense

How do you know this??

Floyd should only be compared to other all time greats
People talk about a floyd vs leonard fight all the time, when has anyone ever talked about a pacquaio leonard fight? Lol
Pacquaio is great but a tier or 2 below floyd and da rest of da first tier boxing guys.
Pacquaio couldnt even decisively beat marguez in 4 fights. Marquez is a great fight but come on
