    shoulda fought in 2009. At 147 Pac has power comprable or greater to Judah, southpaw
    stance, speed, angles on top of that Pac could trouble Floyd at this stage of the game.
    Floyd would be favored of course. Im still pissed fight didnt go down in 2009. Floyd wont even fight Pacquiao at this stage. Mayweather simply doesnt care about fighting the best.
    Hes a favorite. But honestly I didnt even give Canelo a round, Floyd needs some competition, Pac will beat Rios unless hes shot. Khan could trouble FLoyd but would lose.

    Most other great welterweights started at welterweight, not superfeatherweight. He has already moved up enough imo, Middleweight for a man who weighed 150 in ring in his last fight is too much to ask.

    Plenty of people have a chance, but would I bet on any of them? Probably not.

    I bring up Martinez because Martinez used to fight at WW and could easily fight at 157 Lbs. Martinez is supposed to be past prime so what does Mayweather have to be afraid of? Make the fight. Mayweather would be fighting another Champ in another weight class who is regarded as "the man" in his division. If Mayweather beat him he would get a lot of respect regardless if Martinez is past his best or not.

    I don't really care about the GGG fight to be honest. I don't think Mayweather should have to fight a big MW with power like him or even Chavez. Martinez is different. He is fast and athletic, I think it would be a great fight... it wouldn't be about trying to run over Mayweather.

    DeLaHoya started at 130 and fought Hopkins at 160. Sure, he lost but he had the balls to fight him and he gave him a pretty good fight prior to the stoppage. 130-160

    Duran won world titles at LW, WW, JMW, and MW... he even fought some good fighters at SMW. He did win the NBA SMW Title. 135-168

    Mayweather? 130-152, not bad... but not the best P4P.

    Nobody gives Matthysse a chance he was winning going into the 7th round before the eye shut so unless lighting strikes twice he should be named here

    there would still be a big hype, ppv sale, and paydays. Pac vs mayweather 2014? Possible? Floyd just made 41 million, Straight up American Dream. If Floyd retires
    undefeated without fighting Pacquiao, I would never put him in Sugar Ray Leonard's class. A robbery and a KO loss against Marquez, I feel Pacman will be focused and KO Rios. Garcia isnt' ready, Judah's not on that level anymore, but styles make fights.
    Don't see anyone else

    Pacman and Matthysse have the best shot at Floyd
