Ryan Garcia<\/a> believes it is clear who accomplished more between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mayweather and Pacquiao are both legends of the sport, each achieving incredible things that some boxers could only dream of ever managing.<\/p>\n

The pair famously met back in May 2015, though the bout didn\u2019t live up to the pre-fight hype as Mayweather ran out a fairly comfortable unanimous decision winner.<\/p>\n

Over a decade on, they are set to meet again, as they will square off for the second time<\/a> in the first ever boxing event to take place at The Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19, with the event broadcast live on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Mayweather will be competing professionally for the first time since 2017, while Pacquiao has fought just once since 2021, a majority decision draw with the then-reigning WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios last July.<\/p>\n

The man who has since beaten Barrios is Garcia, who won the title with a dominant points victory in February<\/a>, and he has weighed in on the debate that often presents itself regarding Mayweather and Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

Boxing fans regularly go back and forth over who between the two men had the better career, but \u2018King Ry\u2019 was certain when revealing<\/a> his answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like Manny has got the best career. Out of Floyd and that generation that they grew up on, I feel like I would rather have Pacquiao\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Mayweather may have retired with a perfect 50-0 record, Pacquiao is the only eight-division world champion in boxing history, and will be looking to gain revenge when he goes up against his long-term rival once again later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Garcia believes it is clear who accomplished more between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
