    Floyd fight Cotto for the MW title.
    The fights GGG.
    And wins.
    That legacy would be bigger that anyone has accomplished in the sport.
    How does he beat GGG.
    He builds himself into a MW.
    Thats what Ariza is their for.

    Lol. Keep dreaming. Mayweather doesn't have to worry about getting blasted cause he would never get in the ring with Golovkin

    I don't think he's avoiding him but It won't PBF doesn't need Pac it's the other way around.:deal PBF is the undefeated guy here and is seen as the best fighter of this era Pac is the one with something to prove.:deal It's up to Pac to fight PBF not up to PBF to fight Pac. PBF is the champ and Pac is the challenger it's called challenger for a reason.

    Thats great that this thread is being left up, the problem I've had with the Express thread and the reason I hate it with a passion is that I've posted in much more pertinent threads that
    intelligenty has posters exchanging good debate that have been dumped over to that express thread.

    You would think that a mod would read at least a page or two out of a thread before making a decision to merge it to the dumpster, but that has'nt been happening around here and its really to bad.


    The thread topic in this thread is exaclty an example of a thread to leave up. Its a thread talking about the consequences of Mayweather's decision to not fight Pacquiao. Other threads like it have beem merged. :think

    Respectfully disagree. Threads which began like this one but inevitably turned into sh|tfests got merged. Having a bunch of threads like this one is a nice idea and everything in theory, but we live in reality, div. This particular subject attracts the pests from every corner of the woodwork. You know that.

    And PBF would have beaten MAB EM and already shut out JMM. :deal You make it sound as if PBF couldn't have beaten all three he would have done it and not taken an L against EM and 3 fights and needed 4 fights against JMM one of which he was a highlight KO victim in.

    No I'm not if PBF retires 50-0 without ever facing Pac he will be a top 15 ATG. Him facing Pac and beating him won't put him any higher than that anyway because the guys higher than that will never be surpassed due to nostalgia and the love of those old school fighters.

    And that would be floyd's resume summary. Full if "would haves" and "what ifs" due to the amount of fighters he ducked.

    What would be Pac's? 4 loses kOed 3 times and never wanted to test for the biggest fight of this era because he was scared of needles only to fight Clottey instead???
    PBF>Pac:deal
