    Mayweather's win= boring, in fact not that much better than Collazo's performance and he lost

    Pac's win= demolition

    Yes it does. Of course all of that is just "public" view on the situation and doesn't necessarily mean he "beat" Mayweather. Ali lost to both Frazier and Norton in seriously competitive bouts then Foreman shows up and destroys them like they're journeymen, Ali then fights him and the rest is history. Another good recent example is Hopkins/Pavlik, Hopkins loses twice to Taylor then Pavlik shows up and beats Taylor twice.

    Styles make fights, these things never decide the winner of the future fight, it does a great job of hyping it of course but that's where it ends till proven in the ring.

    i think if mayweather wanted to go out there and KO him 2 rounds, and if he was that sort of fighter, i dont doubt he would have done it fairly easily

    Yes, in the casual boxing fan/sports fan eyes.

    For me, No.

    YES and No.

    Like what the others stated above me, Pacman and PBF has different styles of dealing with opponents.

    Pacman likes to beat the crap out of his opponents and PBF, well, he likes to more on the defensive side.

    Taylor had controversial wins against Hopkins though, so it wasn't legitimate.

    Mayweather doesn't have the power. He gets KOs from accumilation. Look at the evidence.

    no. they had different fight plans on hatton. pac's fight plan was to go for an early KO, and i think Floyd's plan was to outbox ricky.

    Hatton fighting Pac was weightdrained. And I suspect mentally off ballance.
