    I hear a lot of fan talking about flaws on Pac`s performance against Mosley.They do not take into account that Pac is fighting so often that it is normal not to look in optimun condition in every single fight. Floyd has only fought 4 times in the last 4 years and that gave him the advantage to prepare well for a single fight. If you look back when Floyd fought more often, in many of his fights, he looked sloppy and unimpressive. Take for instance when he fought Victoriano Sosa, a boxer with a bad record including, many loses, whom Floyd was expected to ko early and instead he won by ud. He then complaint about hurting his arm in this fight. Then, he complaint again about his arm, in another fight after having a poor performance. Then when he fought Castillo he won on a controversial decision. The more often he fought the more chances he showed of having a bad night in a fight. At present, do you think that Floyd is able to fight as often as Pac and look great in every fight ?

    With all this talk about how crappy Pac looked against Mosley, you would have thought that Pac was the one that got himself rocked twice, and almost dropped, and it was Mayweather that had Mosley on the canvas with one punch and doing dances around the ring and running for his life.

    Both dominated Mosley, buts its crazy all the talk of how 'unimpressive' Pac was.

    Idk. Just imo.

    Pac has dominated everyone he fought since he moved up from super featherweight. :deal

    TKO 9 Diaz won all rounds
    TKO 8 Delahoya --one judge gave delahoya one round but pac still dominated
    KO2 Hatton
    TKO 12 Cotto--won at least 10 rounds
    W12 Clottey--easy ass fight
    W 12 Margarito--easy ass fight
    W12 Mosley - should have won all 12 rounds if it wasn't for the false knockdown

    Pac has been dominating the competition that is why floyd is scared shitless:deal

    Simply no because he has brittle hands, Floyd knows that his fights are numbered thats why he cried so after hurting his hand in the Baldomir fight, and takes so much time in between fights these days, to recover so he can put on his best showing, you see how he let his hands go in the Mosley fight without any worries.

    But if them 2 step i the ring Floyd beats his ass, and whoever says otherwise don't know **** about boxing. I love both fighters I truly have no interest in seeing them fight, I would hate to see Manny get dominated.

    What are you talking about? Floyd barely fights, but neither does Pacquiao. Twice a year really isn't that much.

    Yes he is able to, problem is he doesn't seem interested for whatever reason since the DLH fight. It's funny how many shameless people start one thread after another about Mayweather with ridiculous questions and answers. Mayweather's career didn't start in 2006 and he doesn't have 5 professional fights only, he has 41. Checking out his fights isn't difficult anymore, just a few clicks(boxrec/youtube) and you're set to go, even your dial-up connections can handle it.

    Twice a year is great with how things are now.

    Dances and running for his life?, you must be mixed up with your backyard "fighting" in 33oz glove affairs because I don't remember Mayweather dancing or running around. If anything he held when hurt, backed off and was actually punching back.

    I agree, twice a year would be perfect for the both of them, but he's making it seem like he's on some Sugar Ray Robinson schedule.
    **** even Floyd had 7 fights in one year back in 98 or 99 I think

    I do not think you are right. He faced Hatton, Margo,Cotto and Mosley in
    less than 2 years.

    Mosley - 2011
    Clottey & Margo - 2010
    Hatton & Cotto - 2009
    Oscar, Diaz, Marquez - 2008 (This is where he started to slow down on the number of fights)

    But to Floyd's credit against ODLH, Hatton and Mosley Floyd was more dominant. more impressive. Manny had a tougher time with those common opponents.
