1- If Floyd would have fought the fighters Manny fought, would he still be undefeated? 2- If Manny fought the fighters Floyd fought, would he umm.... be where he's at today? Floyds opponents (that might have defeated Manny): 1. Diego Corrales 2. Jose Luis Castillo 3. Sharmba Mitchell (Ok ok you might crucify me for this one, but around that time, Pac was not the fighter he is NOW, and Mitchell was something that Pac hasn't fought in a LONG time, a pure BOXER.... a south paw boxer at that) ....I THINK that's about it, then again this is just my opinion. Manny's opponents (that might have defeated Floyd): ....................Sorry, to be honest, Barrera, Morales, and Marquez back then wouldn't had laid a finger on Floyd. Again, this is all my opinion, and I'm no Floyd fan or Manny hater, just a realist. Any thoughts?
I don't think you can really compare the two due to the differences in size and where they started out, at least professionally. Pacquiao won his first title at flyweight, Mayweather was an amateur when he was that size.
They both started at the same weight, and their both at the same weight today as well, so it's not impossible to imagine if Floyd and Manny had switched career paths.
What do you mean they started at the same weight? Mayweather started at 130. By time Pacquiao got to 130, he had already won titles at 112, 122, and 126. Mayweather started his professional career at a much higher weight than Pacquiao did. Now the great fighters Pacquiao fought at 126-130, such as Barrera, Morales, and Marquez, no, none of them beat Mayweather at 130. And I don't think any of those fights would be particularly close.
Yes, just AZZk Marquez. Yes, people love him for his brawler style. I don't think the casual fan is even able to name moar than a few weight divisions, let alone give two shits about 7.
This content is protected Not in terms of popularity, but i meant in having success and still being the pound for pound that he is today if he had fought Floyds opponents.
Mayweather destroys Pacquiao's competition from 130 and on: Pacquiao's Competition: Erik Morales (went 2-1 against) Marco Antonio Barrera (2-0) Oscar Larios Hector Velazquez Juan Manuel Marquez David Diaz Jorge Solis Ricky Hatton Oscar De La Hoya Miguel Cotto Joshua Clottey the guy that would have given him the toughest fight might have been David Diaz, and even he would have lost 11-1, 12-0 or the fight would have been stopped. As for Mayweather's record and how Pacquiao would have done: Notable Fights: Gernaro Hernandez Angel Manfredy Jesus Chavez Diego Corrales Jose Luis Castillo(2-0) Phillip N'dou Arturo Gatti Zab Judah Carlos Baldomir Oscar De La Hoya(@ 154) Ricky Hatton Juan Manuel Marquez(moved up from Lightweight) Well Pacquiao did have problems with Marquez. But he would have had fights in Gernaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Oscar De La Hoya, and Zab Judah. I would see him going 4-1 or something like that against that level of competition.
