    What does Mayweather do with his actual money? :dunno:

    It seems he doesn't do shit besides gamble and try to bling himself out.

    At least Pacquiao pays for his own food, boxing gloves, and children.

    pacquaio will be remembered as a one-dimensional no-boxing-skills fighter who kept on winning fights he wasn't supposed to win, sasakul, ledwabe, mira, MAB, morales, etc.

    for the boxing purists it will be mayweather, for the ordinary fans, the awesome magic of a one-trick fighter who brought genuine excitement to the game.

    Looks like this poll is decided. Fraud doesn't care about his legacy anyway. Certainly less than his nuthuggers do.

    it was meant to be a sarcasm, cause i cant believe many still believe pacquiao is no extraordinary fighter despite beating technically superior fighters. he was supposed by many to have lasted only 4 or 6 years in the game, but after getting his first title in 1998 after 9 years he is still at the top level of the competion.

    You meant it as sarcasm but there's this guy named LATIN KING who post that basically every chance he gets.

    It's commonly accepted though that he doesn't know much about boxing.

    Yeah, but who takes that guy seriously anyway? His hero was caught on camera fingering an asian tranny in the mouth but he wants to make fun of Pacquiao's left cross all day? :dunno:

    Pac will be remembered as a warrior. Floyd will be remembered as a great talent that picked and chose matchups that fit him stylistically. He will be remembered as "pop-a-shot" type of fighter that wasn't entertaining. Something tells me he won't fight Mosely, Williams, or Cotto so he may retire undefeated(isn't he retired now?:dunno: ) and people will always say he never fought the best.

    People will remember Pacman as one-shot wonder, a guy who got knocked out by jabs, who lost repeatedly to fighters no one ever heard of, and whose best victories came against Zahir Raheem's leftovers.
    Floyd will be remembered as trail-blazer, a bright star, who took on murderous punchers (Corrales), relentless stalkers (Castillo), lighting-fast heavy-hitters (Judah), granite-chin sluggers (Gatti), unstoppable whirlwinds (Baldomir) and brilliant technicians (ODLH).
    There's no contest here, PBF is far superior to Pacman.

    Funny you don't include Hatton.

    Whoever Floyd calls out/fights, the fighter suddenly dissapears from everyone's list of who he should fight. You used to talk all this crap of Floyd ducking him, Hatton being a nightmare for Floyd so that fight should prove you right or shut your mouth.

    Floyd will destroy Hatton. He'll bamboozle him with his jab and beduzzle him with his speed.

    You mean, the same relentless pressure that got him winded after 6 rounds with Collazo and 6 rounds with Urango??
    Look, pal, PBF is no Tito or Cotto. He's a complete fighter, smart, quick, fluent in both offence and defence, and also strong-willed and pretty-faced. He'll destroy Hatton for breakfast and feast on Cotto's testies for lunch.
