    The difference between both guys in talent and skills was laid bare to everyone and your excuses are merely that excuses. If they fought 10 times Floyd would kick his ass every time. You know it I know it, the whole world knows and Angel Garcia knows it. Pacquiao is ready made to order for Floyd:

    Poor baby scared of needles. What a cowardly *** punk **** that was. Truth was he was probably concerned with the testing exposing the crap he may have been doing. Only logical explanation.

    2008-2011 Pacquiao destroys Mayweather. From David Diaz to Mosley, Pac-Man was practically unbeatable. Remember Floyd retired for 2 years after he beat Hatton. He came back with the resounding win over Marquez, but then got caught by Mosley. Then had the crazy back and forth Ortiz fight, Ortiz did have some success before the crazy ending, then Floyd fought Cotto. Floyd took a lot of damage against Cotto, his face was all busted up. Imagine what 2009 Pac would have done to that Mayweather, any of those versions of Floyd would not have been able to deal with Pac back then.

    Floyd would have gotten hurt had he taken on Pac in those years. I really think loss to Bradley messed with Pacquiao, because it forced him to be more aggressive in Marquez 4 to win rounds and look what happened. He was never the same. But you look at prime Pacquiao from 2008-2011, all the way up to getting KTFO, Pacquiao would have been favored to beat Floyd. Floyd knew he couldn't take that fight at that time. Pac was too dangerous.

    Floyd is just a much better boxer. There is no debate here.

    Floyd would always have beaten Manny.

    Stylistically Floyd was Mannys kryptonite. Floyd was a bigger and better version of JMM.

    Yet thst version still has no answers for pbfs ability to control range and dictate distance on him.:deal: That's what people like you fail to realize and why pac can't beat pbf. I've yet to see anyone refute it. It's wishful thinking to suggest otherwise. It's boxing 101 and pbf is a master at this pac can't get around it.

    Its like of bhop only fought rjj in the rematch or leonard vs Duran 3.

    I would favour Floyd as well but would have love to have seen him do it vs Pac after the Cotto fight.
    2010 it should have happened and im very sure Pac would have dome way better than in 2015 and it would have been a fight that was more fun, better win for Floyd had he won and better for boxing than the second rate fight we got years later.

    If Floyd was the GOAT why did he cherrypick everything? From his opponents to the finer details. It's all good fanboys acting like Floyd would beat everybody but it doesn't actually mean anything because he never did that. He chose who he wanted to fight on his terms.

    A few examples (this can be applied for pretty much all fo Mayweathers opponents) -

    -old OLDH. People who act like this was prime OLDH are just dishonest. This was a competitive fight also.
    -old man Moseley who had him do the limbo
    -dragging 140lber Hatton up to 147lbs

    BS BS BS BS. Floyd , Oscar and Sugar Shane we’re all in their 30s when they fought and Floyd beat them. Hatton challenged Floyd who knocked him out.

    It's not about their exact ages. Fighters decline and are considered past it or aged in boxing terms at different ages - surely you can understand that? Shane Mosly and OLDH certainly were at their respective ages of 39 and 35.
    Okay then answer these? Was Hatton a natural 140lber? Did Hatton move up to 147 and arguable lose to Collazo then move back down to 140lbs for two fights? Did Mayweather then not drag Hatton up to 147lbs?
