    The disadvantage for Pac against Mayweather is that Mayweather was quite simply the better fighter period. If Pac boxed, pressured, or was the same size, it wouldn't have mattered because Mayweather was better.

    Yes, Mayweather certainly did well in being a coward while Manny was in his prime.

    No version of Pacquiao is good enough to beat Mayweather. Floyd is just that much better.

    Career wise Manny had the greater achievements in nearly all the lower weights but when you give the performance he did in the fight against Floyd no-one cares about your previous achievements when it comes to a discussion about these two.

    Just wanted to throw this here for good measure. Floyd is just a master boxer. He toys Manny in this round badly. Not even one of his hardest nights. Floyd didn't even have to use his A game against this guy. Size is no excuse whatsoever. Give it a rest.

    Oh and btw, Manny was 152 on fight night. 145 lb Floyd was lethargic af and still toyed this guy.

    Yes, and? We've already established that Mayweather waited until Manny had dimished to take that fight. This does nothing to dispute the cast-iron fact that the man himself was scared of fighting prime Manny, and it's on tape.

    He offered Manny 50/50 with a 14 day cutoff after whitewashing Mannys number 1 rival after a 21 month layoff. Roach even admitted on "tape" it was their fault the fight attempt didn't go through. Stop grasping at straws.

    Listen to yourself, how is an older man gonna wait on a younger man to get old. He is gonna always be younger than him. That sh#t don't make no sense. Saying he was scared is only your opinion and you have a right to it but I disagree. You act like Mayweather's skills didn't diminish or was Mayweather's skills was so far ahead of Manny's that he could afford to wait. If that's the case, why wait. What are you actually trying to say because right now you ain't saying much.

    It's almost as if you completely ignored my earlier post. Age is relative to the fighter. Manny's come forward, pressure fighting style is always more susceptible to age. Floyd still had the reflexes, despite what his age read. Manny dropped off a lot more, which is why Void took the fight. After all his health comes first, right?

    I did ignore it because it's just a feel good statement and has no relevance. Fact is Manny never could beat a top flight boxer and Mayweather was the best. Manny will always be outclassed by Mayweather. Did you ever stop to think that when a fighter is coming forward, the man he is fighting is going backwards. It's just as hard going backwards as it is coming forward. You still using your legs and have you seen Manny's legs.(Tree trunks) You must be referring to punishment that a fighter takes coming forward. Other than the four fights with JMM, Manny didn't take that much punishment. He beat the stuffing out of Oscar, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Diaz, Hatton and Rios without hardly taking any punishment. Bradley didn't do much so like I said, what are you talking about. He was no more depleted than Mayweather was. Mayweather was just a better fighter. Always was and always will be.
