Mayweather and Pacquiao belong to the same era, but Mayweather is a little older. He is not only older than Pacquiao 1 year, but also 22 months older, almost reaching 2 years old. However, Pacquiao became a professional boxer before Mayweather. When Mayweather entered the professional arena at the beginning of 1996 10, Pacquiao had been fighting in his field for 19 months.
Later, Mayweather and Pacquiao both enjoyed their brilliant careers, with Mayweather dominating at level five and Pacquiao dominating at level eight. Pacquiao was the best boxer in the 20th century 10, and Mayweather was the second best boxer in 10. Mayweather retired in 20 15, and in 202 1 6 years later, Pacquiao also hung up his gloves.
Judging from the campaign time, Pacquiao lasted longer than Mayweather. However, there is no accurate conclusion about the achievements of both sides. It is worth noting that when Pacquiao beat Keith Thurman on 20 19 to set the oldest welterweight record of 147, many people thought that he had surpassed Mayweather in performance. So is this really the case? If we judge the level by the number of world champions defeated, we might as well look at how the data is displayed.

The above data is clear at a glance. Mayweather is slightly ahead of Pacquiao in the number of defeats of world champions, but Pacquiao is better than Mayweather in the number of defeats-25-24. But from this point of view, Mayweather and Pacquiao are almost the same, and it is impossible to judge the pros and cons of them.
Who has achieved more, Mayweather or Pacquiao? Although the answer can't satisfy everyone, it seems to me that Mayweather defeated Pacquiao, which is more important than anything else, so the relevant data is a bit pale. Moreover, according to the votes of most well-known media, Mayweather's comprehensive achievements and historical status are still higher than Pacquiao's. Most importantly, Mayweather defeated Pacquiao after all, which is beyond doubt and will never change.
