    In an interview last week:

    "The best fighter I ever fought probably was Manny Pacquiao. It’s because of his movement. He’s a hell of a fighter and I can see why he won so many fights and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer. It’s just certain moves that he makes."

    And to think, Money May fought an old, shot, one-armed version of Pacquiao.

    :D

    Pacquiao is an incredible fighter who is, quite easily, the best Floyd has ever fought. He didn't have quite the same pepper as he did in '11, but when they squared off in '15, he was still a monster.

    You don’t think it’s just Mayweather jealously throwing some shade at Alvarez?

    Mayweather is very insecure about Canelo, he cannot accept that Canelo has surpassed him in Super stardom and is bigger now than he ever was. Floyd never came close to drawing 73,000+, he's so jealous, that's the whole reason why he's fighting youtubers, all he can do now is try and ride Canelo's coattails and try and leech of Canelo's limelight in any way he can.

    Mayweather beat a blood drained, one-armed zombie. Mayweather never beat the best Pacquiao now did he. Isn't it ironic how Mayweather only could beat the worst possible versions of Pacquiao and Canelo, but he would never fight them at their best? That's because Floyd is a little man who would only fight his rivals if they were at their weakest. Floyd didn't have the cojones to fight Prime Pac or Prime Canelo.

    This isn't really debatable.. Pac is leagues ahead in terms of ATG status. Canelo's a notorious cherrypicker and a lot of his recent opponents have not come to win.

    I remember Floyd was at ages 38 and 36 when he outclassed both Pacquiao and Canelo respectively way past his prime.

    And to think PBF was older and more shot against Pac than he was against Canelo. Just shows you how great he was, he beat both easily without getting out of first gear.

    Stop! You act like they fought the best versions of PBF. They didn't he was older and than both and shot against Pac and faded against Canelo. If a shot and faded version of PBF schooled both what do you think a prime one would do?

    No. He went toe-to-toe with and even walked Clenelo down. But he dove at Pac's waist and tied up when Pac wasn't even throwing.

    He had his way with Clenelo, but clinched the most, landed the least, and fought the most cautious fight of his career against Pac.

    What does that tell you?

    How when PBF had more PPV buys and made more money? He's jealous of any fighter getting shine, that's just how he rolls. Whether it be Davis, Pac, Fury or Canelo. He's fighting youtubers because he loves money and it's easy big paydays.

    Stylistically Pac is a harder match up for PBF than Canelo was. PBF and Canelo are both defensive counter punchers at their core. Canelo is not going to outbox PBF, he can't beat him at his own game. Pac is awkward and much more tricky than Canelo for PBF, despite his size.
