What lots of people don't consider when analyzing Pacquiao and Mayweather. Pac is smaller man.

    The truth is that Pacquiao was never on Floyd's level.

    love it that Pacquiao fans have tried to changed the course of history by accusing every boxer of being roided up except Pacman. Manny is boxing's Sammy Sosa, likeable guy on the outside, known cheat in his inner circle.

    Pacquiao is active. And he's either the 1st or 2nd biggest draw in the sport at the moment.

    Financially he's very relevant.

    Pacquiao got schooled by Mayweather in the most important fight of his career. Get over it.

    Pacquiao is 38 years old. Pretty much **** more or less. Been KTFO by a roided up freak. Hasn't had a KO in 8 years. Hasn't had a big massive win since Cotto in 2009.

    And he's still the biggest or 2nd biggest draw in boxing today.

    Because of how ****ing exciting he was back in the day. People still haven't forgotten about the day he destroyed Morales, almost killed Ricky Hatton. Went to war with Marquez multiple times. Walked down big bad Cotto. And issued an all time level ass kicking to Barrera.

    I don't know if the fact that's still a top draw today says more about the ineptitude of the new generation. Or that Pacmania still has life.

    Nah. The most important fight of his career was the first Barrera fight. Without that fight nobody knows who Pacquiao is. And nobody would probably care. He would just be a footnote in boxing history. As the man who ruled the 122 pound divison for a couple years. And nothing more really.

    Indeed. But not the same Pacquiao. EXTREMELY BORING to watch these days. Shame they both ****ing fought each other near the ends of their careers.

    It's really sad actually the fight should of happened in their primes.The fight was bogus. Because of the fact that two old farts tried to put on a show which is always a recipe for disaster.

    Now i don't understand the Flo's are jumping up and down about that disgrace fight of the century.Pathetic disgraceful overreaction to what was a dud of a fight..

    The Flos were more about attaching themselves to a winner more than anything else. It ls not relevant to them who Mayweather beat, the fact that they were shot, small, injured, etc.

    Its not relevant how boring he was especially after the Castillo fights. All that mattered was that Floyd always won the decision.

    They're like Yankees fans.

    You know Sullivan Barrera is a better fighter than Floyd is?

    You've missed the whole point. Pacquiao won a title 5 weight classes below where Mayweather started his career. Pac was never supposed to fight somebody the size of Floyd.

    The two most watched fights of Pacquiao's career were Pac-Marquez 4 and Mayweather-Pacquiao. Both decisive losses.

    I think The fact Mayweather is the smaller man is something that Justin Bieber likes when analyzing him.

    I didn't miss any point. What I read was you trying to rationalize why Pac should get more props because he is smaller or shorter than Mayweather. However this fact was never mentioned when he fought Oscar, Margarito, Cotto, or Clottey. When it gets to Mayweather, it's a different story. Is that because he lost? He lost because Mayweather is a better fighter than him period.

    Yes, but Mayweather fights a style where being smaller doesn't hinder him much at all. If anything, it makes his speed and reflexes more obvious. Manny is/was a pressure fighter and would take shots to land his own. So being smaller was more of a disadvantage for him than it was for Maywether.
