    At this point in time, Floyd has stated that he'll get no credit for a victory over Pac

    Is he right? Does he have a point?

    If he beats Pac, will he be regarded as one of the best to ever lace em up or will he get accusations about not fighting aguy his own size?

    Well, you're the boxing fan .. do you give him credit for a Pac win?

    What if he dominates him over 12 rounds?

    god forbid he steps into the ring with a guy half the world wants him to fight. What the hell is Mayweather thinking, that we'll shower him with respect and adoration for beating a blown-up JMM that was moving up 2 weight classes and not give him any credit for beating a proven beastly #1p4p Pacquiao at 145-147?

    is mosley the best fighter of this generation?

    Is mosley p4p number 1?

    Is mosley a higher ATG than Pac?

    Did Mosley already lose to the guy that Pac just beat?

    Is Mosley younger and primer than Pac?

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    LMFAO, that would be ODLH all over again on ESB. People would be screeming yelling "he was old, shot, weight-drained, etc. etc." Shane is 38, ODLH was like 33 when Floyd fought him

    you have to give him alot of credit. because people are declaring the greatness of pacquiao and him being a top 20 p4p fighter of all-time(whether you agree or not). if pac is that great, then how great would mayweather be after beating him?

    this is logic, something ESB isn't governed by.

    Pacquiao-Mayweather would, in my opinion, be to determine who's the best fighter of theri generation.

    Thats' the credit Floyd would get. If Pacquiao were to beat Floyd people will go crazy with the preaise for Manny & rightly so. However, if Floyd wins then he should receive just as much credit & praise!

    It's all up to Floyd. Floyd is definitly the bigger guy, but he also has skills that are unmatched by anyone in the game aside from James Toney. THe talent, skill and natural athletisim is equal between Manny and Floyd. But their styles are very differnt......so are their mentalities.

    Which make this a fight that can be one of two ways....and Floyd is the only one who has control over if we fans witness a great fight or a glorified AM fight without the head gear.

    Floyd to get the credit this win is capbable of will need to FIGHT! Take more chances! Pit your natrual abilities and gifts against someone your equal and may the best man win!

    IF Floyd decides to avoid any and all risk and utilize is size and reach advantage to "outpoint" manny to a decision.....it will be viewed with some much deserved critisim. He he goes out there and uses his skill, talent and craft with a much needed boost of warrior like mentality Floyd will do for his career what nothing he has done to that point could match!
