Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather, in reality who is the best pound for pound right now? and why?

It should be Manny Pacquiao since he's beaten the best in his division and not pick his opponents like Mayweather does. However, Mayweather's undefeated and that may be the only reason why he's the #1 pound for pound guy. I disagree though. It should be Pacquiao.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat Carlos Baldomir by an unanimous decision. Two judges scored it 120-108, and one scored it 118-110. It ended a little after nine Pacific time. \n\nFightnews has the details on the fight and pics:\nhttp://www.ufcfightnews.com/11-mayweather-baldomir.htm\n\nNo game, though. ;-D

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

I guess it would be Muhammad Ali, but it's hard for me to tell because on tv they usually just show his later fights and I don't get to see him much when he was at the top of his game.\n\nMy personal favorite, though, is Jack Dempsey.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. did completely dominate Arturo Gatti in their fight, but you have to remember that Mayweather is just a great fighter and one of the pound-for-pound best out there. It doesn't take anything away from Gatti, who proved Saturday night with his knockout victory of Thomas Damgaard that he still outclasses most other fighters in his division. However, I expect Gatti to have only a few more fights before retiring because of all the punishment he's taken early in his career.

Manny Pacquiao is a popular boxer from the Philippines and the super featherweight champion. With a recent beating of Erik Morales and an earlier victory over Marco Antonio Barrera, Pacquiao is recognized as one of today's best fighters. His next bout is a possible September 16 rubber match with Morales.

That's what i've been trying to figure out! He's the best fighter out there right now. You don't have to like his personality or some of his antics outside the ring, but we're talking about in the ring. Give me one fighter in boxing right now that is more skillful, has more ring savvy, is as quick, and had dominated more world class opponents than Floyd. I agree that there are still some good fights out there for Floyd, like Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Mega fights like Shane Mosley and Oscar De la Hoya, but let's not be blind to what the man has already done in his career. Personally, i would like to see him fight Margarito next because everyone says Floyd is afraid of him and is his biggest threat. I wonder what all the haters will say when he dominates Margarito(sorry folks. way too slow for Floyd) like he did Baldomir? I see a Mayweather-Margarito fight going much like Roy Jones-Julio Gonzalez, the more skillful fighter dominating with speed, technique, and ring smarts against the bigger, slower fighter. Hate him or love him, but if you deny his talents or that he's the best right now, then you are not keeping it real!

I have to go with Drago. Klitschko would make it interesting for the first 3 rounds, but Drago's relentless power would soon overwhelm his opponent. I say Drago KOs Klitschko in Round 6.

My fearless forecast?\n\nManny Pacquiao on the 8th round via a knockout...\n\nLarios may be good but in this situation Pacquiao is the stronger puncher...  The only thing Pacquiao needs to worry about is Larios' jab in setting up a power punch.. He should not be flat footed...\n\nPacquiao is not a one of the best fighters in the world - pound for pound for nothing..

pacquiao. he just lost to morales in part one because of a head-butt. though not intentionally, it factored because manny's vision was compromised. \n\nhe sure showed morales in part 2. \n\nso i have to put my bet on pacquiao no doubt.

PBF is considered to be the No.1 by most "experts" at the moment. He has unequalled talent and skill of a true champion, but it seems that he is avoiding quality opposition and been doin' nothin' for the past 3 years now.\n\nSo i have to pick Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao to be the best out there. Not only he is the top P4P boxer, but he is also the most exciting fighter to watch in the ring. he'd been fighting the best in his division and knocking them off too! and he does'nt just stop there, he seeks out for more! This guy is definitely the man to beat at 130!\n\nPACMAN rules!!!

You already know what I think.\nJulio Cesar Chavez, world titles in three weight divisions. Conquered Hector Camacho, Edwin Rosario, Roger Mayweather and numerous others. And don't forget his legendary last-second knockout of Meldrick Taylor.

DelaHoya vs. Mayweather.  Oscar is about done and wants to go out on top.  What a better way then beating the pound for pound best.  Mayweather has never been hit by a good left hook. Shoot, I don't think Mayweather has ever been hit hard.

Let's look at their careers extensively...\n\nFloyd really seems invincible with his boxing skills. Add to the fact that he had not suffered a loss. The closest fight he had was against Castillo, a great fighter in his own right. But a rematch with Castillo made clear that Mayweather is a much better boxer. Prettyboy had easily beaten very strong competition (Manfredy, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Ndou, Corrales) mostly via landslide decisions but at his current weight, he lacks the KO power the fans want to watch. If you come to think about it, his opponents although very good pugilists in their own way, with all due respect, I wouldn't consider them "great" fighters yet. None of Floyd's opponents are that legendary. There are still many fighters (Hatton, Margarito, Cotto, De la Hoya, Mosely) left that will make you doubt Floyd could handle. Some of these fighters are quite inexperienced yet but very talented and capable. A couple is also undefeated! I know many would argue the point but many would also agree. Floyd needs a couple of VERY BIG names and still a couple of undefeated fighters to cement his #1 P4P status! He needs to erase all doubts! He needs to fight and defeat opponents he "allegedly" tries to avoid! He needs a little KO punch for fight fans! I respect Floyd's boxing skills, hey, I'm even trying emulate his defensive style... but in my opinion, he needs to be a little risky. He needs let his hands go a little and try to finish off his opponents even if it means some openings on his defense! Majority of fight fans wants that.\n\nManny Pacquiao is a sudden storm in the world of boxing. Before he dismantled Barrera, nobody knows who he was. Everyone thought he was just a push-over before that round 3 knockdown of Barrera. Before the Marco Antonio Barrera match, he had dominated almost everyone while climbing the boxing steps via sensational KnockOuts. He had faced good fighters (Ledwaba, Lucero, etc...) and made them kiss the canvas. The crowd loves the way he fights but forgets him afterwards. Boxing analysts/experts that time already had their one eye open for the PacMan but they find Manny a little too one-dimensional and fundamentally awkward. Most believed that he can't handle great tacticians like the mexican greats. All doubts were in a rollercoaster after every PacMan fight! After Barrera, people said wow!!! what power!!! what speed!!! After Marquez, a very controversial decision had transpired. Some would say Pacquiao should have won by obtaining that 3 knockdowns in a single round. Some are convinced that Marquez had schooled Pacquiao boxing skills. People had started to doubt pacquiao.\nThe trilogy of PacMan vs El Terible had been the very highlight of Pacquiao's career. The first fight, which PacMan lost, was controversial as well. He had been blood-blinded with a clear headbutt which the ref called a punch. But despite this, Eric Morales clearly won the fight. But a very close one! Now people really thought that Pacquiao can be managed by boxing tactics! When the rematch came, Pacquiao seemed to improve greatly. He is faster, stronger, and somewhat ring clever. He improved his defense with still tremendous agression and top-notch condition! He gave Morales a first KO loss which he also gave to Barrera! And the deciding third fight closed the deal!!! Pacquiao was a very dominating force. His speed, power, and conditioning can't be denied. He is improving everytime he steps into the ring, it's almost frightening. In summary, now, almost everyone can say that he can't be defeated in his weightclass. Although he lacks the belts, his past fights will make you realize that he will dominate anyone. He had defeated, or should I say, KOed the mexican legends. He seemed unstopabble at this point! Give me names of worthy opponents.... Only Barrera, Marquez, and Guzman pops into our minds. But two of these fighters had already tasted the raw power
