Now that’s where you are wrong with Pacquiao! You should not base pacquiao on history coz he is making history!!! The fact that he has fought bigger fighters makes him history! Yes yes, defense can win but so can offense! When pacquiao will try to penetrate floyd’s defense there will always be an opening… The thing is pacquiao has speed too. Strength and speed. Floyd has one advantage defense.. But he can’t over power pacquiao…

And you have to admit, pacquiao brought boxing back! So, give pacquiao credit! And everybody wants to see the floyd down.. What the hell is wrong with that?? So i give floyd credit for being the best villain out there!

And to tell you the truth, his zero just means he has not found the best fighter! Pacquiao may have lost but it is in those loss that brings him 10x better!

your wrong, mayweather fought only when he is ahead in everything than his opponent, unlike pacquiao who fight boxer who is ahead in all argument.

They are both great fighters… the purse should be 50%-50% or something like 40%-40% w/ the remaing 20% given to the winner… the one who says no to this is the one that does belong to the greats… let them fight on equal footing and lets get this over with.

I have no comment about the over ratings or whatever; I just want to see them fight and be done with this discussions.

Why do people bring up Mayweather or Pacquiao fighting Paul Williams still? That makes no sense at all. Paul Williams has no draw. Paul Williams started his career as a Welter Weight but is no longer in this division. Its easy for a fighter who is 6’2″ with longer arms than any fighter in the Super Six Super Middle Weight tournament to claim he is so good at beating guys half his size. People should be calling Paul Williams to fight someone more like Bernard Hopkins or Chad Dawson. I’m sure Williams would lose as much weight as he needed to get the payday that he would recieve from fighting these two. If Paul Williams were to fight and defeat both fighters he would not go down in history as a great fighter. He would go down in history as the bigger guy who only helped to diminish the legacies of either of the two. Mayweather is not over rated.

People will be stunned when Pacquaio knocks out Mayeather, First of all what Mayweather has achieved as a amateur boxer has to do with DETERMINING WHO IS THE BETTER FIGHTER NOW!,Some fighters get even better with time(for example larry holmes was knocked out as a amateur by Duane Bobick)and as far as the pro’s I dont care how many championship fights Mayweather has won most of these champions of today are tomato cans compared to the champions Ali fought in the 70’s and Ray Lenard fought in the 80’s. Mayweather is an exceptional fighter, not a great one. the champions who posed a threat in the welterweight division to Mayweather he has ducked. Pacqiaio is ranked as an all time great not Mayweather. THE MARK OF A GREAT FIGHTER IS NOT HOW MANY FIGHTS YOU WIN TO GO UNDEFEATED, ITS THE GREAT OPPONENTS THAT YOU DEFEAT AND HOW YOU HANDLE ADVERSITY IN DOING SO!

Floyd Mayweather is a smart boxer but a very boring boxer all he knows is to dance and dance on the ring and because of that he defeated all his chosen opponents. Well if that is a great boxer then I hope no more boxers will be like him because all the fights will be all a draw. Hurray for the real fighters and hell to those fighters that like Floyd !!!!!!!!

That’s a disgrace, comparing PBF to the greats with likes of ali, foreman, frazier, leonard, duran etc etc. The opposition they faced is not even half of what floyd has faced. Those fighters beat hall of famers, at leas all of them made the top 25 GOAT list. If PBF battled mosley, margarito, cotto, paul williams and beat them all convincingly then he would be up there with them. But unfortunately he didnt, how many lineal titles did he win? and believe me, being undefeated is overrated. The greatest fighters knows how to come back from a defeat. If being undefeated is everything about being great, then why isnt Marciano the GOAT?

Actually, Floyd is not overrated because no one gave him such a high rating than himself. Lets finish this talk!

These both great fighters need to fight right now to create history for boxing and to determine once and for all who is the best, so the fans don’t have to wonder who is the best. It is pointless to debate who is the best. They both have decent chances of winning. They will use different strategies. Boxing is never that simple, sometimes, a better boxer can still lose if he makes a careless mistake. At such a highly competitive level of boxing, anything can happen. They both have a good chance of winning. it is too hard to call. Please promoters, get these two fighters in the ring and sort it out.

This is ridiculous. A Champion will fight any contenders for the title. A champion will not be afraid to fight any dangerous opponents. A champion wants to beat worthy opponents to prove that he was the best when he got the belt and he is still the best because no one can beat him. Excuses like “the money split is not right”, or “i have a bigger name, why should i fight him” are just not good enough.

Just because a boxer was the best 5 years ago, does not mean he is the best now. To claim you are the best, you must be willing to fight “ALL” the top challengers.
