    I'm not convinced. And that's me saying that knowing Floyd's cv is ridiculously overrated.

    It seems to be a lot of old shot fighters, fat alcoholics and rookies making up Floyd's 'stunning' best wins.

    Yeah but whos better than Pacquiao among past Mayweather opponents?

    Theres drained Canelo but I highly doubt Pacquiao gets white washed like Canelo did

    Corrales?

    Corrales wasn't as good as even faded Pacquiao imo

    Faded Mosley could be better than this version of Pacquiao but again I don't think so.

    Like I said before the Maidana II fight its the officials who will make the difference in this fight. I hope for Manny's sake Kenny Bayless is not referee.
    Let Tony Wilkes be in charge he is a straight down the middle let them BOTH fight their fights type of referee. Also bring in judges from outside Vegas so there is no chance of another "hometown decision"
    I hope its a level playing field with the Legitimately best man on the night getting the win

    Is the old shot version of Oscar De La Hoya Floyd fought better than current past it Manny? I'm not sure. I remember seeing a young Felix Sturm years before travel to America and totally school Oscar in his own back yard.

    Id say each is the the best and most dangerous opponent each has faced

    They would probably each be the best win either have. Only a few debatable on each record.

    Floyd has Corrales, Castillo, Marquez, Alvarez...

    Pac has Barrera, Morales, Marquez...

    I agree. I was listing the only fights that are in some ways remotely arguable.

    Lets not forget they are both almost 40 years old.
