    I'm just telling it like it is man... Pacquaio was a brutal fighter and legitimate threat to Floyd at that time..No doubt I think Floyd wins it, but it would have been closer than 9-3 imo.

    Ofcourse Pac would of stopped him there is a reason why it never happened floyd was not confident in fighting that Pac according to him his health was more important then to fight that 2009 pac

    That Pac hit a lot harder NEVER got tired and was so much faster

    Floyd ducked a huge bullet and waited it out because he knew the longer the fight takes place its better for him because Pac ages quicker based on his style

    For god sake even when he got knocked out he waited anther 2 years lol

    - Pacquiao of 2010 didn't care if he was getting hit by Margarito or Cotto. He would take shots to land his own.

    - Pacquiao at welterweight and light middleweight is not even his prime weight. His prime weight was at a much lower weight class.

    - Instead, we saw Pacquiao becoming increasingly gun-shy, especially after being brutally KO'd by Marquez. The very threat a 2010 Pacquiao had in a matchup vs Floyd, was gone forever.

    At 2010, it would have been an even fight.

    Yes he can but that Pac was a monster even Mayweather himself did not want to fight him

    Pac was scary at that time he never got tired he hit alot harder and was much faster

    bradley who fought him for the first time 2012 and then when he fought him in 2014 said his power was not the same and hit way less still hit hard but not the same and that was 2012 imagine 2009

    when he fought mayweather in 2015 he was clearly not the same fighter his style needs him to have loads of stamina and keep his speed and power

    still their was glimpses of his peek in round 4 and 6

    He was a monster, but a monster that could be tamed.... Floyd wins it, but damn it would have been tough..

    I am first to admit Mayweather played it very smartly and i knew he would really win given the state Pac was in

    Mayweather said even himself when he watched the rematch bradley vs Pac "pac looked way way different"

    and i agree with him

    It's not even no ****, if it would have happened back then it still would have broken records... Too bad we had to hear the needle situation.

    Thats your opinion but that Pac was a monster like i said before Mayweather did not want to fight him he was so scary he thought he was on roids.

    I remember watching Pac fight cotto and i can honestly say it was one of the most scariest performances imagine being the fighter to fight him next?

    Pac left hand for example in 2009 was 10 times harder than in 2015

    Mayweather was very smart he waited for Pac to decline because he always knew could make the fight any time

    He kind of wanted to fight him before the bradley rematch but decided to wait it out and see how he looked after watching that fight he saw all he needed to see "Pac was way different he was getting tired he never before"

    Then he made the fight

    Like is said floyd style does not age quicker than Pac and he knew it

    Pac has had 70 fights mayweather 49

    Pac has been in much more wars and has taken 1000 more flush shots to the head

    Pac has been knocked out late on in his career

    kind of easy to see who was more finished

    and the fact Pac never fought smart in his career makes it even more worse

    fighters like hopkins can last up to 50 but on the other hand fighters like roy can't

    Hopkins was more of a saftey first fighter roy was not and roy is 5 years younger

    Yup. Mayweather himself said how poor Pacquiao was:

    He also went on to comment on Pacquiao's diminished power:

    A whole combined 20 seconds of hope must had felt like hours or days for you. There's a reason pac was #1 on fmj hit list when he came back in 09'

    Fans like you still would had found laughable excuses exactly as you did for jmm's beatdown after beatdown.

    Both fmj and lac peak weights were from 135 to 140, just because the gap in talent showed more at ww doesn't then mean fmj is the Ageless Wonder the world always knew existed.
