    Pac has been declining for the last years especially after suffering that horrible knockout by marquez he looks close to shot

    Do you think Mayweather would of gotten more credit for beating pac before the marquez ko?

    please discuss

    Nope, just watch Bradley 1 and 2, Manny basically won by the same score in both fights.

    Pacquiao looked about as good as hes ever looked in that fourth fight

    Nearly KO'd Marquez

    I don't think hes declined THAT much

    maybe but what i am trying to say is how that knockout robbed mayweather of getting a credit if he beat pac you can not deny this can you?

    Before Floyd was scared of fighting Pac and he didn't have a chance according to you.
    Now you guys have lost your confidence in Pac?
    Would Mayweather get more credit for beating Pac before the Torrecampos ko?

    Yeah, a lot more, although beating this Pac is still huge.
    but works both ways beating mayweather 3/5years ago would of looked better.
    whoever wins it though has a legit win coz they are both fairly shot!!
    Logically i would say mayweather wins just coz he is slightly more naturally talented and hasn't been beat-up in the past as much as manny, however manny winning wouldn't be a huge shock to me.

    that happened early in his career

    fighters who suffer knockouts like that LATE ON IN THERE CAREER NEVER COME BACK WELL

    What? I'd give Mayweather the same credit. Both of them have lost an edge, but neither is shot. If anything the knock out made Pac more of a thinking mans fighter. Now beating a ped'd out Pac back in 09 when he refused the cut off would be a different story.

    he still did not look the same pac has been knocked out late on in his career no matter how you cut it these are the facts this will rob floyd of getting any credit he would of got if he won before the knockout

    that knockout was life threatening and it was late on in his career i am surprised he even got back in a ring and hit a bag let alone compete with elite level fighters
