If Money May lost to Pac, does his out of ring trouble make him "not the real Floyd"?

Great win for either guy. I can't see why people say Floyd is prime I just don't see that but nonetheless great win for either man. IMO Pacquiao gives him hell & wins as there's a reason Floyd doesn't want to fight him.

 

I believe Floyd already peaked. He was great at 135-140 and somewhere when he fought an aging Hoya, he started to decline a little bit. He fought b class fighter named Hatton and the rest is history.

Pac is barely hitting his prime or probably already up there and will take a while till he starts to decline. With all these hard fights Pac is going through, who knows but we know for sure that Pac keeps getting better and better each fight, surprising us with new strategies and doesn't show any signs of decline yet.

 

no if he loses he goes down as second best out of the 2. simple.

but the issues are interesting as a lot of haters use that to discredit his win over corrales so it would be funny seeing them trip over themselves.

as for floyd bein prime, he clearly aint. he might still be as good as he was, but he had to adapt with age. his footwork aint so clever these days.

 

Nah Manny hasn't shown any signs of decline so I doubt it. Floyd however isn't as quick on his toes as he used to be. He looks like a better WW physically but he's not as fast as he used to be. Manny is still prime but with the tough fights he's been through I wouldn't be surprised to see decline though I think he'll retire before he shows decline.

 

I dont think any version of Manny could ever beat Floyd... But if he did Id give Pacquiao all the credit in the world.

 

I expected a decline after the Cotto fight because Pac got punished hard that night but when he showed speed, angles and power and lots more of the three I mentioned against Clottey, I doubt he'll decline soon.

 

The real question should be what happens to Manny if he looks bad getting the win against Margarito. Or if Margarito knocks his head off, is there still a need for him and Floyd to fight?

 

everything Foyd does outside the ring is to promote himself. beating up women, is marketing ingenuity at work. :yep

 

Which is probably true....looked weak in the Mosley fight, looks weak during the first 6 rounds of all his fights.

 

I agree. I heard Pacquiao will only fight like two more times and if that's true I don't think we'll ever see him retire.

 

if pac beats floyd he should get all the credit due that a fighter at the top level should get..he will have 0 left to prove...

 

Mayweather is not prime, but he is nowhere near close to being past it or shot...Pacquiao gets massive credit if he beats Mayweather.

Same for Mayweather, although I kinda disagree with people saying Pacquiao is still prime...I think he may just be leaving it.
