This is what I have been saying all along Floyd is the one that has everything to lose
It Pacquiao wins people are going to start calling him the GOAT but if Floyd wins people are going to say well he was suppose to win
Now if Floyd lose people are going to say Floyd was overated and try to downplay his legacy but if Pacquiao lose its gonna be ok because he Pacquiao
maybe casual fans do but not hardcore boxing fans
Im talking about Pro boxers opinions and so called experts and critics. It is divided who people think who will win.
Lots of youtube vids have been posted here, and interviews with people in the game who think Pac will win. Some think Floyd would win, and one name that immediately springs to my mind is that DLH thinks Floyd would win.
So you cant say everyone expects Floyd to win without it being a very controversial statement.

There's nothing wrong with losing to either of those guys because both are great, but I think if people criticize Floyd in that way, it's because Floyd put himself in that predicament to be hated like that. He chose that role to sell tickets, but eventually it comes at a cost.
It might be a huge win for either guy but a vicotry over Floyd means more I mean they might have Pacquiao ranked #1 in a magazine but Floyd is reconigzed as the best fighter in the world by everyone and I just feel that a vicotry over Mayweather means more than a victory over Pacquiao just because of the fact that nobody has beat Floyd and Pacquiao has already been beat so it would be nothing new
That's called assuming. Sugar Ray Robinson has several losses, yet he's still considered by many as the Greatest Fighter of All Time. In the end, it's who you fight, and Floyd more than any boxer is his era has been criticized heavily with his selection of opponents, not so much Pacquiao as he's fought guys not only most Boxing fans and critics never thought he'd fight, but he's already on his way to fighting a second fighter Floyd apparently never wanted anything to do with in their primes (Margarito, Cotto) be it money, popularity, or what have you. Rocky Marciano also retired undefeated, but he's also not revered as The Greatest Fighter of All Time let alone the Greatest Heavyweight.
Also, by the Logic you're using, Floyd's wins over Mosley, De La Hoya, JMM, Baldomir, Judah, Gatti, and a host of others mean very little since each of those fighters had losses when they fought Floyd. So basically, he hasn't fought anyone of merit in close to 6 years??? Well wait...there was undefeated Ricky Hatton!!
I don't understand how you can come to that conclusion. Manny Pacquiao as it stands is the #1 fighter in the world with Floyd being #2, both are the biggest names in the sport, both stand to make the biggest purse in Boxing history along with hosting one of the biggest Boxing events in history. It's a huge win for either guy on the biggest stage of both of their careers.

what does Floyd have to prove? He beat everybody he has ever faced if Pacquiao never moved up to WW there would be nobody left for Floyd to fight
and i never said Pac has to prove anything we know he is a great fighter but why can't Floyd get the same respect
He does not get respect because he is a COWARD.
Floyd does hav more to lose then Manny, as a boxing fan the styles of floyd would say that he would win against Manny, so if he does win he wouldnt get the credit he deserves from others. PPl would just say "o he was suppose to win" Naazim Richardson said it best on the 24/7 show, he said he expects to hit floyd hard an when shane does he need to b prepared for a beast an that's exactlly wat happen, except Shane wasn't prepared to fact that good of a fighter. I think ppl are sooo use to c'n floyd's defensive side in the ring and forget about when he was pretty boy floyd, Pretty boy floyd was a offensive beast, with deadly combination. Im just sayn that floyd doesnt get the credit he deserves cause every1 expects him to win but wants him to lose.
I think you are not understanding that betting favourite if Floyd is, dont mean to say everybody thinks Floyd would beat Pac. It is divided. More probably think Pac would beat Floyd.
maybe casual fans do but not hardcore boxing fans
there is a higher standard set for Floyd,
but not fighting Manny will only hurt his legacy.
I agree i want him to fight Pacquiao im just saying I see understand how Floyd feels

I can't see the odds for either guy being anything over a 2 to 1 swing. No way...
I dont understand this he knows he has nothing to prove remarks? Well he would be proving he can beat Pacquio when noone seems to be able to. What does Pac have to prove now then?

its not dumb thinking its the truth they don't give Floyd credit for nothing a vicotry over Pac wouldn't move Floyd up everybody thinks Floyd is suppose to beat Pac anyway

honestly, Floyd put himself in that lose-lose situation by playing the "bad guy" role.
he acts like an asshole and expects everyone to love him for it.
thats just his way of selling fights thats not how he really is as a person
