Would Pacquaio still have been the p4p king..if he had taken the 'Mayweather route'?

[Ghazan]

Ok..so Floyd was fighting Ortiz in Sep2011(who was damaged goods after his fights with Maidana)..while almost at the same time Pacquaio fought the #4 p4p Marquez...in a fight many thought pacquiao lost(including myself)..BUT what if Manny had taken the easy way out like Floyd and had fought someone like provodnikov or senchenko..he would have easily won no doubt.

then in summer of 2012..Mayweather jr fought Cotto for the 154 belt(who was never the same after his crushing losses to Margarito and Pac)...while Pac took on the undefeated #7 p4p Bradley..losing to him..BUT what if Pac had taken the easy way out like floyd and fought someone like Malignaggi..he would have won

then we all know Pac got knocked out by JMM..while floyd took on an unknown fighter Guerrero(who had fought most of his fight at lowerweights).BUT what if pac had taken the easy way out like Floyd and had fought someone like the then undefeated Rios..he would have won and remained #1 p4p.

so it can be summed up..that Pac's bravery led to his downfall..while Floyd's shrewdness and cherrypicking led to him being #1 p4p

What do you think?

Pac was never the true pfp king.

Sums it up nicely.

shane mosley wasn't damaged goods when pacquiao fought him?

ricky hatton wasn't damaged goods when pacquiao fought him?

margarito wasn't damaged goods when pacquiao fought him?

making marquez jump up to welterweight from lightweight for their 3rd fight wasn't underhanded??

after marquez had looked so bad against floyd at ww, and pacquiao had been killing guys at ww?

making delahoya drop to 147, when he hadn't fought there in years?

c'mon....

That post is leaking with ******ity

[Ezzard Charles]

when mayweather pacquiao was actually being negotiated and it fell apart....

floyd went on to fight shane mosley.... who apparently everyone was ducking..... cos floyd was too scared to fight a legit ww, as was pacquiao....

guess who pacquiao decided to fight? you don't even remember..... why? cos it was josh clottey.....

Andre Ward took Pac and Floyd outta the equation
he's trumped both of them with his dominance in the super 6
no matter what, he'd be Ward would be p4p #1 right now
Pac and Floyd's recent runs don't compare to Ward's
no route either of them took could match Ward cleaning out SMW

Pacquiao fighting a guy who had the style that gave him hell 4 times is enough to show he ain't scared of Floyd, and never was, while Floyd picks guys after hours and days of analyzing their style, that will be the easiest win for him. He avoids guys that will test his skills like a Margarito or a Pacquiao.

Pacman fighting Timothy Bradley is enough to show you that he has a better opposition than Floyd, Canelo is still green is he tough yes, but he doesn't have the caliber of opposition or ranking that Tim Bradley did at the time.

Bradley was better than any single Floyd opponent, and Pac and Floyd fought similar guys, but Victor Ortiz and Guerrero are not on the level of a Tim Bradley.

No one would buy a Provodnikov or Senchenko fight. I’d be happy if Pac fought a real WW, and if he’s going to continue to fight 140 fighters a least fight the best ones.
