I've come to the ultimate conclusion that neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao really wanted to get in the ring with each other. Neither man ever said, "I'll fight for peanuts and will agree to any stipulations... I just want to beat the other guy to prove that I'm the better fighter." Guys in the good old days of boxing were willing to do that... fighters today, not so much.
Both Floyd and Manny are and were dangerous fighters, and both had the ability to tarnish the other man's legacy. I think that Mayweather would likely have won the fight at any point in history, but it's certainly conceivable that Pacquiao could have taken Floyd apart. There was risk to both fighters, and I don't think either one of them truly wanted to take that risk. Sad for boxing fans.
