    It would be better not because of the opponent but because of the circumstances........

    Pac has not to long ago been put to sleep in the ring for 1 hour you just dont come back from those late on in your career

    Pac has much more wear and tear he is more shot than mayweather his style ages much quicker he has never had the 2 year break mayweather has had..............

    Pac has had nearly 70 fights its a surprise he is even fighting at this level

    Pac also fighting the ref then judges and usada:yep

    A shot finished Pac would still beat Mayweather

    Yes, but not because of alt_masters reasons. He beat the best fighter of this generation, arguably. Look at the last 2 pac fights look at floyds last 2 fights, pac looks fresher. They both are faded, but paradoxically, not sure why pac looks closer to his prime than floyd does in their last 2 fights.

    This is the biggest fight of our generation, so yeah it's bigger than Barrera 1

    Yes, it's would be huge, especially as Pac is seen to be the more faded of the 2 and fighting above his natural/optimum weight division.

    Time needed for proper perspective. And obviously how the fight goes factors in.

    If Floyd went out and lost his next two fights after Pac to Josesito Lopez and Jesus Soto Karass, obviously the degraded nature of his skills and stature in the sport would be reflected negatively.

    That said, taking Mayweathers' zero is an ultimate achievement even if it happens when he's 50 years old.

    it would be the biggest win of his career. both fighters are still fighting at the highest levels in their weight class. less than a month away, i'm hoping the fight does not disappoint.

    Yes......only because of the hype and years of waiting. But the MAB was his most significant win unless he dominates Floyd like he did MAB.

    it would make him undisputed p4p #1 of the decade since almost everyone believes floyd beats everyone from 154 down. it would be like his first barrera win when he was elevated to a higher status. then floyd will drop down in rankings more for avoiding him in the past years and appreciation for his unbeatable boxing skills downgraded. this fight really has more to do with floyd proving himself as being undefeated, highly skilled, high boxing iq, etc than pac who was already ko'd several times.

    No.

    MAB was looking absolutely indestructible in the fights leading up to Pacquiao. He was taking on top notch competition. Then after he loses to Pacquiao he goes and beats prime Morales.

    A win over a top notch prime ATG fighter especially with the absolute beatdown he gave Barrera is legendary.

    No. Floyd's chin is awful. Barrera had a good one.
