Prime Manny Pacquiao is not in the same level as Floyd. Floyd schooled a Prime Juan Manuel Marquez after a 2 years retirement. Pacquiao would be hitting air if he fought a Prime Mayweather

Floyd would have easily beat him. That's why he waited him out and became a laughing stock.
Largest single purse in boxing history. Every fighter dreams of being that “laughing stock”.
I agree. I feel like Floyd would have always beaten any version of Pacquiao from 135 up. I feel like Floyd would have always beaten Mosley and Judah as well and I’m a huge Zab fan.
There probably are some welterweights throughout history that would have been too much like Hearns etc but we all know Floyd isn’t at his best at 147 and frankly looked like dogshlt at 54 but Pacquiao is even farther away from his best weight the farther north you go. I admit Pacquiao had a good 147 run but I believe I’ve heard him and his trainers say they was feeding him like 8 times a day or something to maintain that. Not to mention Alex Ariza shakes.
I know Floyd didn’t fight much at 140 but I thought he looked comfortable and like a monster at JWW. Would be very difficult to find many 140 lbers that would have enjoyed fighting that version of Floyd IMO.
floyd looked wonderful at 140, but its also a style thing
It depends on when floyd started using roids. Did he just start when the fight actually happened?
how did the roids help him in the Pacquiao fight exactly?
