I don't think the excuse that Manny is declining would be used. They're both 40 plus now and as I'm well aware the years go quicker and you feel each one of them. Manny would want the fight more, Floyd doesn't need it he's a couple of years older than Manny and his record is unblemished, he won't risk it. I personally favour neither of them , they're both ring legends and deservedly so.
I still think Mayweather would beat Manny but you never know at this point. At least Manny has been active and fighting ranked guys, he wouldn't need to shake any ring rust like Floyd. And your reflexes at 40+ might not be there for Mayweather. Floyd loves the limelight and that might be why he comes back, it won't be for the money. However, I also don't think he would tarnish his legacy at this point especially since he has the W over Pac already.
Stylistically, Floyd would have Pac's number. You can see it in the fight tonight, the only way Pac was able to get Broner was straight to the body and with the jab. The range from Pac's left hand and Broner's head was too much because of the way the shoulder roll leans back. This is amplified with a taller opponent like Floyd. The only way is a one-punch KO which is very unlikely. Because even in the case that Pac hurts them, they will just clinch or in Broners case, attempt a single leg takedown. I feel like Pac would have had more success letting Broner come to him, and he counters. Pac does best when fighters throw punches at him, which is why I think he is a nightmare style for Loma.
Here come the pacman fans LOOOL you lot are deluded. Broner is such a waste of speed and overall athleticism, his obsession with trying to emulate floyd has ruined him, he's gun shy and should retire, but this is the victory that sends the pacquiao fans into pandemonium?? LOOOOL
Mad that I speak the truth? Anybody that really really knows boxing knows a 40 year old Pacquiao easily beat a joke fighter that was never good in broner. Broner prove he ain't a good fighter when he always lost in the big stages before in maidana , porter, Garcia. I knew Pacquiao will easily win.
Pacquiao needs to pretend he tore some tendons or something that would require surgery. That could tempt Floyd out.
