Ryan Garcia believes it is clear who accomplished more between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather and Pacquiao are both legends of the sport, each achieving incredible things that some boxers could only dream of ever managing.
The pair famously met back in May 2015, though the bout didn’t live up to the pre-fight hype as Mayweather ran out a fairly comfortable unanimous decision winner.
Over a decade on, they are set to meet again, as they will square off for the second time 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.
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.
The man who has since beaten Barrios is Garcia, who won the title with a dominant points victory in February, and he has weighed in on the debate that often presents itself regarding Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Boxing fans regularly go back and forth over who between the two men had the better career, but ‘King Ry’ was certain when revealing his answer.
“I 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’s career.”
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.
