In the real world that fight would not happen A middle weight would not fight a cruiser weight! Not in a sanctioned fight anyway?
But truth be told Pac's had to put rocks in his pocket to make minimal weight...........................Just saying!
He's like Marciano "Someone up there likes me!"
I remember Max Kellerman saying a few years ago that Pac is a greater P4P ATG than May, even after Pac lost to May. His reasons were pretty clear: Pac was a smaller fighter (former flyweight) beating up bigger champs (up to middleweight). What Pac achieved would be the equivalent of Floyd beating a cruiserweight champ. And yet Floyd can't even beat a 0-1 cruiserweight. Floyd fans are making excuses about the size difference with Logan, and yet that's what Pac has been doing for much of his career, a smaller guy beating bigger champs.
No he couldn't idiot. How many fights are PPV worthy for him. :dunce:
Mikey, Broner...
You think Spence is a big star, id.iot?
You are just jealous because you know Gayweather would never fight Spence.
Go watch him fight youtubers.
Look homie, I kept it respectful. I'm a grown ass man and I don't play those little kid games. So don't tell me to grow some common sense. Common sense is understanding that this is an exhibition and that you can't compare a fight with some Floyd outweighed by 20 lbs with someone who outweighs him by 50. So your argument is that since he knocked a guy out that he outweighed by 20 that he'll knock a guy out that outweighs him by 50. You do understand that given the weight difference that this fight couldn't even be sanctioned right? You do understand that Floyd hasn't fought a real fight in 6 years, right? What argument do you have about a retired boxer fighting an exhibition match? Are you that obsessed with the man that you have to try to find something negative about an exhibition fight of a retired boxer? You do know what retired means don't you? Do you think he's the same fighter he was when he was active? Do you think he still trains the same? The man is literally a grandfather now.
Look Kid.. Floyd is not just any boxer. He's a self proclaimed TBE. He brags about how good he is. Weight is not an issue. And he will put on a show.. Well, folks who paid for it had a lighter pocket and had a disappointing experience, coz Floyd didn't deliver. What did Majority of the boxing world expected in this fight? Floyd is going to KTFO of this youtuber who doesn't KSAB.
So analyze it as you will.. Floyd didn't deliver.. He knocked out Connor, he knocked out a Japanese midget.. But not Logan.. That's an L to many eyes.. An 0-1 fighter who has no business being in the ring with the fighter who sings to his 50-0 mystique couldn't beat a lame youtuber. That will leave a mark whether you agree or not.
That's how the cookie crumbles I guess..

floyd cant use the bob arum line anymore... he cant say manny is still fighting because he has a boss, etc..
now he resorts to "i feel sorry for manny fighting at 42"...
meanwhile pac is willing to go out on his shield like a true hero, like a true legend ATG fighting dangerous undefeated young prime world champions. ali and robinson are smiling down on pac. guaranteed.
True 100 years worth of great boxers are smiling down on pac saying you are one of us doing it the way we did it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Pac is willing g to go out on his shield and prove he's the best even now.
Floyd didn't go out as the best. With predators like crawford, spence and thurman on the hunt floyd couldn't say he was the best.
if pac beats spence pac can retire as the best. Floyd didn't do that he retired with asterix
Yeah that was f***king weird. You just finish an exhibition with a YouTuber, made a lot of money...and you're in the post fight presser thinking about Manny Pacquiao and how much money you have versus him?
Dude is super weird and painfully insecure. Why are you thinking about Manny Pacquiao after an exhibition sparring match with Logan freaking Paul??
he's always been jealous of manny... he cant get the fact that manny is loved by all people of all races. this is something that floyd always wanted but he tries to downplay it by being the bad guy but deep down inside, he wants to be loved. it's so obvious by his actions, buying new cars, showing off his money, etc.
If people pay to still watch Floyd with exhibitions...that's fine.. great ..get paid. But fool shouldn't hate on another boxer... who is actually challenging the best. Floyd's comments,..not a good look.

floyd has always been jealous of manny...
it's like floyd cant stand the fact that a little 3rd world asian is being loved by all people from all over the world...
money cant buy you happiness! floyd can pretend that he's happy by showing off all the new things he paid for but all that dont mean nothing when it cant love you back!!! lol.
Well hell I would rather go down or out of the sport fighting one of the best like Ray Leonard fighting Terry Norris which honestly he really didn't have to do but he did it. Same with Oscar sucking down to 147 to jump in with Pacman!
Not everybody is looking to protect a 0...Mayweather! Good Luck to Pacman, a lot to gain and NOTHING to lose!
He said that out of excuses..
he knows pac was way ahead of him now. So talking about legacy wise, floyd must prepare an obscure reasoning.
He cannot reach pac now and his achievements. So he has to talk about money where he was ahead of pac.
Pac don't HAVE to fight. But he WANTS to fight the best. He's cementing his legacy even nore.
That's the reason why floyd forgets the boxing legacy because he can't keep up and just gave up to pac. It's like a bugatti vs porsche right now. He doesn't stand a chance. What he was doing was to fight youtubers who was a no threat at all.
If he can't dance with paul then no chance he would talk about dancing with pac again. No way in hell.
Just see the gap between their legacy..
Pac - legacy
Floyd - money
I just don't think why floyd fans still thniks floyd was ahead of pac.. that's a dumb@ss thinking.
If people pay to still watch Floyd with exhibitions...that's fine.. great ..get paid. But fool shouldn't hate on another boxer... who is actually challenging the best. Floyd's comments,..not a good look.
they're not happy because their hero floyd is tarnishing his legacy with clown circus shows. so they have to lash out any way they can at a true warrior like pac to deflect from the fact that floyd is now a mere clown for ur entertainment. it really is pathetic.
I think you hit nail on head. But surely they know criticising pa c daring to be great is not going to go down well with boxing fans.
Pac fighting thurman and spence and Floyd fans find that troll worthy? You can't make this up!
pac fighting two top undefeated young big punching champions back to back.
floyd fighting youtubers and mma fighters. destroying his legacy in the process. floyd has become a circus freak show.
this is the sad reality for floyd and his fans.
Thing is I'm happy for floyd fighting for money and exhibitions. But Floyd fans aren't happy for pac daring to be great, scared Pac will win again.
How is it irrelevant? That's the discussion of the thread. The only reason he's taking it is for money. Mayweather is correct, it is sad that a guy that earned so much wasted it all.
Yes ok Floyd if it makes you happy to think Pac is doing it for money. But really your more sad for the fact if Pac wins historians proclaim Pac goat.
that fact makes you sadder than Pac is fighting for money.
LOL at all the people saying Pacquiao is doing it for legacy. He was set to fight McGregor until it fell apart with McGregor losing. Pacquiao needs the money.
regardless the reasons why Pac is fighting is irrelevant. Let's say Pac is only fighting for money. Historians don't care why Pac is fighting, historians will give Pac the respect he deserves for taking on such a fi ght. So even if its a money fight for pac it's a legacy fight for the viewing historians.?
so if Pac beats spence, al Bernstein from his grave won't be saying it's a no big deal win as pac was doing it for the money only?
This is probably obvious to many but the reason Pac fights the very best is that he already has 7 losses on his record so he has nothing to lose with protecting his record. Floyd is just extremely afraid of losing his undefeated record which is why he never pushed to fight the best when they were still in their prime. I think if Floyd had a loss or two officially on his record he would have pushed himself to be more great in terms of his resume. When it's all said & done Floyd will go down as the better fighter between the two but Manny will go down as the greater fighter with the better resume & more classic fights.
