He would be the best and a top ten ATG...
But he didn't so he will never get my respect.

At the least top 20. Hands down, guaranteed.

He has too many zero's in his bank account to regret not fighting any fighter.
If the Pacquiao fight becomes available, it gets made easily just like the Cotto fight. If it doesn't, Floyd isn't going to lose sleep in his mansion.
From what I have gathered over the years, Floyd is a pretty easy guy to negotiate with. The Hatton fight was made with the quickness, the De La Hoya fight was made with no hassle. On the other hand both the Hatton and DLH fights with Pacquiao, at one point fell off and appeared like they were not going to happen because of Pacquiao's demands. The Cotto fight almost fell off as well because Cotto was not happy with the weight terms.

"Proven cheater". By all accounts, Manny's never had any sort of scandal surrounding his drug tests. If I recall, Floyd was the one with 3 dodgy tests, covered up by GBP.
Let's not go that route.
If Manny's a cheater, then Floyd is as well.

I'm going to be honest. If Pac truly thought that he could beat Floyd, he would've fought him. Pac would've told Arum to take the money and make the fight regardless. Arum didn't want the fight. Everyone knows this now.
This could be a good and bad example, but I'll post it.
This is one case out of many. Sugar received 10 mil to fight Duran who received what, 1 mil according to 30-30. Duran was 72-1 and Sugar was the poster boy. Duran wanted Ray Leonard. He wanted to beat the poster boy of American boxing and he did and earned how much in the rematch. He took that chance against a bigger man and took it to the bigger man.
Floyd was pfp the best in the world no matter how Pac's fans slice it. Pac should've just took the test, took the lesser money which wouldn't have been that much and took Floyd's respect.
Do I blame Pac totally? No, he had Arum in his ear. Dlh left him, and Floyd left him. Arum tried to sick the inferior Mararito on Floyd who shook his hand after asking him why won't you fight me like the ***** that Margarito turned out to be. Karma prevails. Look at Pac, and look at Floyd.
Pac and Floyd can still fight only Pac will earn much less than he would've made had the fight been made at it's apex. It's still a fascinating fight if Pac beats Rios.

Floyd has 40 million reasons not to ever regret or even lose any sleep over a Emmanuel Pacquiao fight.
