    Yeah, I agree with that OP.

    Pacquiao has suffered setbacks and looked the more mortal of the two right now, but it's still not impossible that history will remember him more fondly if Mayweather doesn't take care of business. Bradley is set to be remembered as the most heinous robbery of the era I think.

    On top of this, it's really not Mayweather's fault that he came along during the "in between" of superstar fighters. Oscar was an era before him, as was Mosley.

    Pac was really his biggest rival, as far as legacy goes, and they never fought.

    Ok who should he fight. Pac's resume looks good because he gets ass ass whipped from time to time!

    So you're just blaming Floyd for things that were not his fault. Shouldn't you be knocking the others for not fighting Floyd when they were originally supposed to?

    I hope you're around for me to see you realize how wrong you are in 10 years time when Pacquiao is not even talked about, while Floyd Mayweather Jr is being heralded as a top 10 ATG.

    And it kinda hurts that he faced a faded Erik morales and lost to him the first time.

    Bradley win was not a robbery, a robbery is the reason why Pac is going to fight Marquez for a forth time when Marquez never won a match!

    Manny is fighting Maquez again because it brings in more money, the same reason Floyd fought Cotto instead of Pac. More $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s, plus leverage in negotiations.

    hard to argue against this since its a fact, On other attributes floyd comes out on top also with being undefeated. Pac already established himself though even before going to welter but had to count marquez 2 as a loss, but still pretty great work on beating both morales and barerra. Its those two names for me that undoubtedly puts pac ahead against floyd in terms of competition

    Not to mention, when he did beat Marales in the second fight, Morales had just got his ass kicked by the black guy (cant remember his name)
