Floyd would have always beaten Pacquiao.

    Counter-punchers are Pacquiao's Kryptonite.

    Naaah, not the suspect version of Pacquaio and Floyd knew it.

    That sharp, fast, powerful and strong version of Pacquaio who was blasting people out would have been a nightmare for Floyd.

    Floyd knew it and that's why he waited until Pacquaio was knocked out, looked worn and was last that peak.


    I don't blame him, seeing a man who started his career and StringWeight move up to Welterweight and knock the likes of Margarito around like a rag doll would have put me off too.

    While Floyd was juiced the whole time and in their fight.

    Mayweather is in another league to Pacquaio.

    If Mayweather was filipino and "humble", then there would be no debate. But people don't want to accept the truth because they dislike Mayweather's mouth and persona.

    Mayweather is a detestable materialist with nothing of true substance or virtue between the ears, but I also think he would've beaten Pacquiao whenever.

    Welcome to professional sport.

    Another league?

    Pac smoked Cotto, Hatton, ODLH, and had Mosley running for the hills.

    Floyd dominated Marquez, but he disregarded the catchweight and the styles match up plus size advantage favored Floyd heavily. Cotto pushed Floyd.

    Pac would smoke Maidana, Ortiz, Guerrero, and Berto. These guys took rounds of Floyd and Maidana arguably beat him.

    Brilliant summation. Further commentary is entirely unnecessary.

    Void was scurred ask his papi.

    I don't consider that a fight. He talked it up and pulled that stunt in the fight. He is a con artist.
    Don't say you going to go to war and run around the squared circle. Leave it to real warriors like Marquez and Morales.

    Correct. Bad style.

    Definitely not on different levels, though.

    Probably... in and out pressure fighters like Pac are tailor made for Floyd, but Manny would always stand a puncher’s chance.

    Mayweather struggled moreso with swarmers.

    Floyd was better, Pac's style was much more flashier and appealing.

    No, not always. Pac's whirlwind activity and volume at his peak could win a decision or a draw, as FMJ's tendency is to defend against rapid combinations not counter.

    Floyd was scared of 2008/2009 Pacquiao.

    I agree, but Floyd didn't believe it.
