    Floyd didnt have the necessary stones to ever fight Pac in a level contest. Even juiced to the gills & fighting an injured , sabotaged Pac he barely scraped a win. That fighter proved to me Pac would always dominate Floyd because he was a FIGHTER while Floyd was a cheating cowardly diva. End of Story

    BUT you forget it was Oscar that wanted to fight with Pac, he figured he would easily beat little Pac. That way he wouldnt have to fight Margarito who had just destroyed Quitto Cotto WRONG!!
    Pac beat the daylights out of Oscar & humiliated him so as to make him quit on his stool LOL

    I'm just saying, he's not one win away from #1 all time and that's because of what he did and didn't do at his best weight and prime age, not because he doesn't have that signature old and undersized win.

    Oscar isn't known for rational thinking, he was a zombie against Pacquiao. Margarito is a glove loading cheat who was destroyed by Mosley and Cotto afterwards.

    It would be bordering on Jeffries' comeback versus Johnson. Except older and 2+ divisions south.

    It will certainly never happen.

    Do I see him doing another exhibition at some point, maybe against an Erik Morales or hell maybe even Oscar in time? Yeah, actually.

    Let's hope not, but I suppose a fight against Oscar might be fun because I think Oscar would lose badly. Mayweather's a gym rat. I still don't want to see him fight now he's retired but surely Oscar will be at a severe disadvantage, even if he bothers to train for a couple of months.

    That would be a couple more months than Floyd has trained since 2015.

    Floyds toast. He didnt go to the gym for the McG fight, which counted and had 3+ million PPV buyers.

    Yes, though, I'm still not going to ever pick Oscar over him outside of an IQ test. Well, thats probably closer to splitting hairs!

    I think Mayweather is a gym rat, even now, in the sense that he trains in a gym, regularly. What I really meant by that is that he hasn't let himself go. Oscar isn't like that, he ballooned after retirement and typically would need a fat camp/training camp. Not trying to be combative here.

    ROFL Floyd did nothing to me I just have absolutely no respect for him though. What he's got he owes as much to the NSAC & Vegas boxing official for. They kept his bogus 0 afloat more than his talents did. He should have been suspended over IV gate & the Pac fight made no contest. That was the most blatant abuse of power Ive ever seen

    Cotto never beat Margarito That doc stopped that fight to save Cotto QUITTING AGAIN!!! not because of Tonys eye. The doc knew Tony couldnt see out of it from early in round 2. Why didnt he stop it earlier???? No he waited till cotto wilted & Tony was coming on just like fight 1
    That was robbery

    Pac had a torn rotator cuff & the NSAC knew all about him being allowed a LEGAL painkiller Toradol yet still refused him a shot on fight night claiming he hadnt ticked the box he was injured LOL. Floyd never ticked the box or requested 750 ml of saline drip either but the NSAC granted him a retroactive TUE THREE weeks after the fight didnt they lol. Oh & BTW the Xylocaine Floyd was using was an ILLEGAL DRUG !!!!!
