    Fact #1: In 25 years most people will be rewatching the Gatti, Pacquiao, Tito fights. They're more fun and most of the time competitive and punishing on both ends.

    Fact #2: Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be recognized as the better fighter.

    Facts.

    Thank you.

    Man I'm not a criminal. You just want to stereotype me. They would give Jeffrey Dahmer a second chance before they gave me another one. If you saw a [police] lineup and saw me and Dahmer and they asked, 'Who killed and ate those people?' you would pick me and not Jeffrey.

    Paquiao already got his ass kicked early in his carreer and was stoped. No to mention was once saved by the ref.:lol:

    Floyd could very well retire undefeated fighting the best over 5 divisions.

    Floyd will always be hated for his arrogance and the shit talking. But that's the route he took so I'm sure he could care less.

    Pacquiao will be loved for the way he fought. He will be remembered for his excitement and let him be happy with that. :clap:

    early in his carreer he did but eventually people hated the fact that he toyed with his opponents and carried them when he could have Kod them early.

    Not to mention that bum fest he had at lightheavyweight for a while there. :lol:

    what is funny is when they both fought on the same card in this goofballs city, mayweather beat up a future champion and made him quit where as pacquaio got roughed up and wanted out of his fight.

    Yeah, in his late career Roy got a little full of himself, but if you had the money who would you rather pay to see? :dunno:

    He didn't want OUT of his fight, he got low blowed like 50 times and head butted.

    Agapito was a dirty fighter with a criminal history. He got blasted (may he RIP) for mixing up with the wrong crew.

    Agapito cheated his way out of that fight.

    Mayweather will be remembered as a superior fighter.

    Pac as a very good fighter who was exciting.

    That actually is true...

    Pacquaio did bitch up when Sanchez got rough with him.

    he kinda bitched up when he got cut in the first Morales first too.

    There's still a ways to go with both these guys. For all we know, Pacquiao could demolish a few more mexicans and Floyd could hit rock bottom anytime ala Roy Jones.

    I mean when a fighter has a cut and the doctor and/or ref are examining it and said fighter is giving facial expressions of excrutiating pain and acting as though does not want to continue.

    I'll one up you...

    The MAB that fought Pacquiao was the worst MAB has ever been. TONS of legit distractions leading up to that fight... and he obviously wasn't focused. How many times have you seen MAB smiling in the ring before an important fight? He under estimated Manny and paid a huge price.

    I don't give MAB much of a chance at all. The excuse will be he's almost done and Pacquiao is at his peak. It's a pointless fight.

    Fraud's career is "finished", Pacquiao is entering his most challenging schedule yet. I'm not even sure Pacquiao will win all the fights scheduled for him, but it's going to be fun to watch and see him try to beat Barrera, Fagquez, winner of Soto/Guzman all in a row. :eek:

    CLEARLY, History will Recognize Floyd as the BETTER,More ACCOMPLISHED Fighter...

    Wherever Manny Pac is Ranked N an All Time Lb 4 Lb List,Floyd will UNDOUBTEDLY B Ranked HIGHER...

    Manny Will B Remebered as Being More POPULAR & More Action Oriented than Floyd...

    N REED's Opinion,Being Considered BETTER is the "Brighter Light"...

    Reed, you're wrong about something, because Mayweather is already the most popular...2 mil ppv, biggest grossing fight ever, appearances in talk shows, Jordan sponsorship, he's way more popular than pacquiao who is more know inside the mexican/phillipines population....
