Does Any One Else Think That If Floyd Had Struggled With Opponents....

He would get much more credit than he does at this moment in time. I mean i've always thought with Money may had he struggled with oppenents as in for example with Sugar Shane he went 12 hard rounds exchanged punches often, hell even got knocked down along the way then people would say 'The best shane mosley turned up and floyd just about managed to beat him' whereas what happened on Saturday night will only make some people think time and time again that it was more to do with Shane stop attacking then Mayweather dominating. As Mayweather says numerous times in interviews "theres nothing cool about taking punishment" however would people rate him more if he did? Take a potential Mayweather Pacquiao Showdown do you honestly feel Floyd would get more credit for dominating over 12 rounds or winning a close fight? (By the way i am not asking about it from Floyd's view as obviously a win is a win im talking about from a casual fans to semi hardcore)
