• Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been a professional boxer for 18½ years
• Money May won his first world title 16½ years ago whe defeated Genaro Hernandez (a man who had competed in 15 world title bouts, had only previously been defeated by Oscar De La Hoya [in a weight class that was not his natural habitat] and who also boasted a victory against an all-time-great [Azumah Nelson])

• Mayweather currently has the best plus/minus rating of any active fighter on the planet (as of September 2014), which is a measure of the variance between Floyd’s own connect rate and that of his opponents’ (in other words, a gauge of the “Hit and don't get hit” old adage)
• Based purely on the statistical numbers of CompuBox (dated 2012), Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the “Best of All Time” (they measured the punch stats of legends such as: Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Muhammad Ali etc.)

ill just add a trivia, pacquiao has faced fighters from every habitable continent in the planet, he has for earlier part of his career fought in southeast asia, east asia, then fighters from australia, and as he went stateside he was fighting a south african, a colombian, a kazakh, a fighter from the carrabean, then fighters from mexico, US, puerto rico, united kingdom, so his conquest would be asia, oceania, africa, south america, central america, north america and europe

I love how when you did a Floyd resume it quickly turned into a forum hate crime & when you do one on Manny people are adding random trivia & sh!t lol.

The problem is that the poster seem to have researched more on mayweathers resume (even adding some trivia) while posting a resume of pacquiao that is superficial just to show that he is not biased, but you can clearl see it in his other posts how he tends to favòr mayweather subtly

[handsofstone]

Is this fight Floyd's first shot at a WBO title?

[davie]

Quite remarkably, in 1999, Manny lost his Flyweight title, then opted to skip super-fly and bantam to gain 10lbs and go straight to a super bantamweight bout, eventually winning a world title in that division.

Imagine he never skipped those weights, he could have been a 10 weight world champion!

[handsofstone]

I can't be arsed checking but I dont think Manny won a legit belt at 140

At that time he was 5'6" and was walking around at 130, the thai press even comented that pac was the tallest flyweight they have ever seen

Don't be silly!

I tried to use the same format.

The key word is "tried", apparently failed

I did your checking, you're right.

I just assumed he had, having beaten Hatton at 140
but as Hatton was no stranger to insignificant world titles, the bout was for his IBO world title

[Purse Bid Shakedown]

I can't be arsed checking but I dont think Manny won a legit belt at 140

He won the Ring/lineal belt. Everyone had Hatton as the champ at 140.

Remember when Sergio was stripped for not fighting Zbik? He didn't suddenly lose his lineal belt.

Interesting FACT; Manny Pacquiao is not an 8 division world champion?

Hatton was the lineal champ at 140. He was unbeaten there http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/wr...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octuple_cha...

Yep the IBO is a minor title. The keyword here is World Champion. Pacman won the IBO at lightwelterweight. Ricky Hatton was seen as The Ring champion at 140lbs but his world titles were long gone.

Manny Pacquiao never held a World title at 140lbs.

The reason why Floyd doesn't want to deal with Bob Arum is the fact that he wanted to talk to Manny personally to "stage" the fight. Mark, this fight is fixed. Floyd is so sure to win this fight that even 50 cent is betting $1.6 million on Floyd to beat Manny. Manny has a huge tax obligation back home amounting to more than a billion peso and the only way he could pay it is to fight Floyd. Floyd knows this and took advantage of it.

The only way Pacquiao defeats Floyd is to bum rush and pepper him with punches. But Manny's not going to do that. Come fight night, both fighters will dance to Floyd's choreography - and throw punches just enough to fool the paying public into thinking that the fight was close or exciting enough to merit a rematch.

Manny's chances of beating Floyd is zero because he has now put his greed for money, fame and power above glory. Boxing has given him so much but in return he turned his back on it(by indulging in politics, showbiz, etc). That's why the gods of boxing punished him with that knockout against Marquez.

No matter how many dream about Manny beating Floyd, reality is that, it's all written in stone - Floyd will beat Pacquiao on May 2nd - and that's coming from a staunch, diehard, Filipino Pacquiao fan.

all sanctioning bodies are just paper machines, what matters most is the lineal title
