    I think the only person getting exposed again is Pacquiao. I see Floyd stopping him. If you think Marquez gives Pacquiao hell everything then multiply a thousand times against Mayweather. Two of Pacquiao's biggest problems going into this fight is his trainer Freddie Roach and Bob Arum. The other great problem Pacquiao has is the limitations in his boxing ability. He is ready made to order for a skilled counter punching boxer. He can bring it and he will keep getting clipped. His defence is so porous. He is a sucker for the left hook and right cross and jab. Watch his all his fights with Marquez, Bradley especially the 1st fight and the win Morales got over him. There are at least 5 ways officially of beating Pacquiao including stopping him by 3 methods. I would argue from my study of him there are actually 8 ways of beating him.

    Floyd has skills advantages over Pacquiao. Floyd is by far the best fighter Pacquiao has ever faced. Lesser fighters than Floyd have beaten and stopped Pacquiao. Many have tried to overwhelm Floyd all have failed. Pacquiao will fail. As for Southpaws Floyd has faced 8 and all have lost decisively. Floyd has seen speed and power and it does not faze him at all. Floyd is actually a physically stronger man than Pacquiaoband with his skills advantage he could easily shut down Pacquiao.

    Hernandez isn't anything close to being an ATG. Holding a belt and fighting unranked opposition over a very long period isn't impressive. Castillo was much more accomplished than him.

    And Clottey would bust both Maidana and especially Guerrero up. You don't need too be a Fanny cultist to recognise that.

    Floyd ducked this Pac fight for 5 years and finally had to be forced by Les Moonves to sign the contract. Floyd knows Pacquiao is his worst nightmare and Al Haymon can't manipulate Pacquiao to go soft on Floyd or play nice. On May 2 we're gonna see just how good Floyd is - or if he was a protected fraud all these years.

    Didn't need to fight Mayweather to prove that he wasn't great, never mind being an ATG.

    Good boxer, nothing more than that.

    Thanks for answering my question as to why I compared them to begin with which makes your argument irrelevant. I don't know what your point is with mentioning any other fighter that style wise doesn't compare to Pac. What a waste of time!

    He's been beating up B and C level fighters since he became a PPV star??

    Last time I checked, since he took on DLH (a HOF'er,) it looks like about 50%-60% of his fights have been against other future HOF'ers- DLH, Hatton (probable,) Marquez, Cotto, Mosley. Even Alvarez was the # 1 rated JMW and could potentially be a HOF'er down the road.

    I think your statement about him fighting B and C level guys is hyperbolic. Even guys like Maidana and Guerrero are former champions and worse case are solid B level guys.

    Name one C level fighter he's taken on since DLH? The Ortiz fight took place after Floyd had one of his year long layoffs, and Ortiz came in as the WBC champ just fresh off the biggest win in his career against Berto. At the time Floyd fought him, Ortiz was at least a B level performer at that juncture in his career.

    Stopped reading when you said Maidana fought a prime Floyd.

    Floyd is protected?

    Sometimes, I wonder if most of you know anything about boxing.

    The same Cotto, mosely, de la Hoya, Hatton, and Marquez that Manny fought? Was Algeiri and Rios elite? Both manny and Floyd have fought similar opponents. PAC fought Bradley is who very goid, and Floyd fought Canelo who most predicted he would be scared to fight. I'll never understand the double standards of both manny fanatics, and I'm a big manny fan, but it's obvious that he has cherry picked these last 3 or 4 years

    Bad bad comparison! Although Arguello was a better technician than Pryor, Alexis was still primarily a power puncher who depended on his power way too much. On top of that it wasn't Pryor's tenacity that won the fight but rather that bottle his trainer mixed. Aaron admitted as much to Manny when he was training Aaron for the rematch.
