Pacquiao's style is tailor made for Floyd. Pac is a great fighter no one can say he is not, but he is a come forward - pressure fighter who throws punches in bunches and is often off balance when he throws combos. Mayweather would counter him all night and have plenty of oppourtunities to do so, plus Manny has proved his body is a weakness and Mayweather's throws some of the hardest body combonations and the counters would be to much. If Pac couldn't KO him early the longer the fight goes on, the more it would favor Floyd.
People questioned Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Olympic athletes, Sammy Sosa, etc about steroids for years... And they all ended up taking substances.
It's nothing to do with greatness. Manny is a great fighter, but a lot of people think he uses substance enhancing drugs. Period.
I think its funny how people think PacMan is the #1 P4P hands down. Mayweather was P4P way before PacMan an then he retired as P4P. Then Manny beats two people Floyd had already beat an now Manny is hands down P4P.... Yeah right.
On Zabs stream show he said he saw Floyd recently and he looked sharp. Someone asked him if he would ever be Floyd's sparring partner and Zab said I'll never be anyones sparring partner.
If he beat Mosley an Pac people would still hate and say he is not the best, drop excuses, an drop a new list of who they think Floyd should have to beat.
Floyd's career 41-0, the way he dominates, rarely loses rounds, adjusts, precision in punches, defense, and smarts make him #1.
Manny is good and his recent performances may make it close, but he has 3 L's, 2 Draws, and 2 of the wins which pathed his recent path were against guys Mayweather already beat.
The Floyd haters see only what they want to see. Manny has been KO'd twice, they dont see that. But anytime Floyd actually takes a punch, they automaticially mark it as a weakness and the Haters scream an wet themselves because it's such a rare occassion.
P4P before he retired, 2 fights later P4P continues, Floyd Mayweather.
"Manny is P4P til he loses"
(He has 3 losses)
Mayweather never lost to lose his status, he retired. Now he's back....

Fast foward to 11:17, a fan ask Zab would you ever be Floyd's sparring partner? Zab "I'm no ones sparring partner..."
shane should fight like the champ and make floyd come to him...floyd is very good with fighters pressuring him...everybody tries that same s**t and fails...shane should throw him off guard and counter with well placed hard shots...
That's what I think Shane should do too, let Mayweather come to him.
Pacquiao lives with like 12 dudes in a 2 bed room apartment, an doesn't want his wife at the place for months at a time when he is training.... An ya'll talking about Mayweather
