    Floyd fought Genaro Hernandez in only his 18th pro fight, at only 20 years old.

    I don't know, I think you could also see it that Pacquiao is hand picked. He looked bad against Clottey because Josh covered up so much and Pac couldn't really get a shot through. He looked bad against Mosley cause Sugar Shane ran away the entire time. Then he looked bad in the third JMM fight because JMM was both forcing Pacquiao to come forward and hitting him at unpredictable times (I believe Pac adjusted this and was looking brilliant in their 4th fight war which gets overlooked).

    Pacquiao can look a bit stupid when he throws loads of shots at times, but usually he lands a big one right after so we forget. Mayweather's upperbody movement smashes that of a Chris Algeri so he could REALLY make Pacquiao look bad on one of his big combos.

    I don't think the mental game will come into it. Mayweather's a big boy and the older he's got the less I see him caring about a lot of this stuff. He's very stubborn about wanting to win the fight outside of the ring but at the end of the day, if the two guys were in the ring and ready to fight, Mayweather wouldn't be thinking about the past and would want to make Pacquiao look terrible, which he might well be capable of doing.

    Mayweather makes top level opponents look so bad that no one cares that he beat them.

    We can say "on paper Mayweather beats these guys, it's stupid that he's fighting them". It's not like on paper these guys are weak, it's that on paper Mayweather is so good.

    People say that Floyd fights bums, or doesn't take tough fights. In reality, he makes top fighters look like amateurs.

    Great! If Floyd wasn't just talking out his ass, who should pick the judges and ref from the long list of qualified and available in the pool? Why don't he get to choose every fight? I'm sure C.J Ross wasn't picked by Floyd and he said he was happy Weeks was chosen to be the ref for Maidana 2..

    If Floyd somehow choose a ref that favored his style it wouldn't be fair right? What if he chose a ref that favored Pac's style.. Would it still be unfair?

    Maidana ended up being tough, but that was essentially a cherry pick gone wrong. Stylistically speaking Floyd had every advantage and likely expected to coast to an easy UD.

    So you are saying that the likes of Ricky Hatton, Saul Alvarez and Miguel Cotto are NOT challenging? Mayweather is beating house hold names and making them look terrible. Say stupid things like "Drainelo" if you want but the facts still there that everyone outside of stupid fights with Ghost and Ortiz have been major names in boxing in the last few years.

    Pacquiao should take this fight for ****ing free in Mayweather's backgarden with Mayweather's dad as a judge.

    Forget money, forget anything. Pacquiao becomes a top 3 all time, if not the greatest, and it could all be just ONE punch away.

    I want to see Pacquiao LET Mayweather win the battle outside the cage. Maidana didn't even hear Mayweather before the fight and walked in there like it's the first time he's ever seen the guy. Mayweather wants to get in Pacquiao's head. If Pacman graciously accepts everything Mayweather says or does before the fight, Pacquiao still gets to walk out to that ring with every skill he's ever possessed. Forget the politics and let the baby have his bottle Pacman!

    Hernandez in his 18th fight, undefeated Corrales, Castillo in his first fight at lightweight, Castillo was prime, champion, hadn't lost in three years and after the first fight was close, Mayweather gave him a rematch. Judah, undefeated Hatton, Alvarez, who was younger, undefeated and had a huge size advantage. Yeah, there's a few.

    How in ANY way did Saul Alvarez struggle against Matthew Hatton? You might have said Little Cotto (whom was a few years before Saul got big) but in my memory he easily handled Matt Hatton (as he should have).

    Hatton was still one of the most popular guys in boxing with an undefeated record at the time. Saul Alvarez is the same. What you dislike is that Mayweather isn't fighting Pacquiao, Khan etc. Guys who bring a new dynamic to Mayweather and answers a few questions we might have. I HATE May fighting these "boxer punchers" whom he SHOULD easily handle. But it's ONLY him. No one else SHOULD easily handle Cotto, Hatton, Alvarez, Maidana etc.
