And lets say Manny was on the TMT roster. I'm not trying to stir sh*t up but inevitably this will -- but I'm just making this thread as a fun hypothetical. I always hear from FMJ fans that Manny sucks and Manny's a fraud. I hear a lot of coward stuff among other things from Pac fans when it comes to Floyd but rarely do I hear one of them go at Floyd's actual ring skills. Idk maybe I'm wrong on that, though.
But if this admittedly insane hypothetical was true (in a bizarre upside down world where Manny & Floyd were boys), would Floyd fans appreciate his talent? Or would they still be criticizing him?
Any Floyd fan who says Manny is a bum is retarded I don't think he better or could beat Floyd. But he's a special one in a lifetime type fighter. Ask yourself will Manny fans say that about Floyd.

Mike D, Most Floyd fans have more of a problem with the over the top Pac fans, and vice versa, not the fighters themselves. like you said how can you honestly not respect Mayweathers skills, or how Pac comes to fight. Most of the "ish" talk is to rile the each side up, and from skimming thru this forum it works like a champ.
They would be the most revered fighters in the sport, carrying the sport through their friendship. It really would be a great thing for the sport, similar to the Klitschkos' situation. Manny and Floyd would be regarded by their skill, rather than the stain of never having fought each other (which I think is one of the biggest black eyes in boxing today).
If May and Pac were ever on the same team and supported each other... Even know they never fought I bet both fans would start to cross over to each other. Boost each others fan base.
How would Mayweather be viewed by Pac fans if him and Floyd were friends?
Again I could be wrong but it just seems like, even though a zillion Pac fans say a lot of bad sh*t about Floyd, I rarely hear them rip his ring skills. It's always along the lines of "he's a coward" or "he's a ducker". They really don't attack his ring skills. But a lot, if not most of the FMJ fans will say that Manny is a bum or a fraud, one dimensional, built off 100% hype, etc.
I'm just speaking from a pure inside the ring perspective
