Glad that Marquez finally got justice by leaving the catchweight king face down... licking the canvas...
If we add Bradley and Morales to the pot and Mayweather's shutout of JMM, I can't believe anybody of fair mind can possibly compare the two in the all time stakes!!
No argument...Mayweather belongs in the top 15 of the alltime list and Manny several places below.....
No argument- Mayweather greater than Pacman

Maybe Pacquiao should have demanded blood test from Marquez, and when Marquez agreed he should have ask for more money, then when Marquez agreed to that, he should have went on vacation. and if Marquez was still hanging around still he should have fought Rios and claimed he needed a warm up fight and said Rios was a tougher opponent, if that still didn't work he got have gotten himself thrown in jail by beating up Jinkee and if all else fails claim he was not interested in boxing anymore and only sign up to fights once Marquez had a fight lined up.
Sven Ottke undefeated,
Ottke > Jones Jr in Truss's book.

You keep looking at records to judge how good fighters are, I'll stick to watching boxing.

The reason Mayweather will NEVER go down as an all time great is down to the fact that he cherry picks opponents, and avoids big fights (in which he has a good chance of losing) like the plague.
Not to mention he fights only twice, sometimes even only once a year.

Wouldn't shock me if FM really pushes for the fight now Manny seems to be slowing a bit with age.

When was there ever an argument that Pacman is greater than Floyd? Both all time greats no doubt but Floyd's always been above.

Both fighters legacies are tainted by the non fight, but no categoric judgement can be made until both fighters careers are over.
This mindless bickering on this subject pollutes the sport. Both are great fighters, both fighters will suffer because it's pathetic that the fight wasn't made when the world wanted to see it. It can still be made of course, but until it is, there will be a stain on both their legacies imo.

Lets get this straight, the only reason why the fight never happened was because Floyd never wanted it.
Pacquiao has won more titles at more weights, fought a higher calibre of opponents and has brought more excitement and greats fights to the sport.

Ignore this D4 idiot. Guy's always clawing at Floyd's balls whenever I see him.
Pathetic really.
"Ridiculous article. Pacman was schooling JMM, he got complacent and got caught by a great shot. These things happen in Boxing, doesn't matter how great a fighter, you get hit in the right place then you are going down. "
Schooling? Really? He was maybe marginally ahead. Slightly. Even still it was debatable.
One could clearly see Marquez was looking for the KO the whole night.
He got it eventually.
Either way, this has never been a valid argument anyway. As good as Pacman is, he is/was never on Mayweather's level. Plain and simple.

Pacquiao was clearly out boxing Marquez. Pacquiao got careless and paid the price.
They were both looking for the KO.
8 weight world champion.
Let me know when Mayweather wins a title at light-heavyweight.
