    That's not really an accurate comparison, though.

    Pacquiao is a hyper active, offensive minded fighter. Whereas Mayweather is a calculating, defensive minded fighter.

    It only makes sense that Mayweather's fight with Hatton would last longer than Pacquiao's, just given their styles and history. It's no knock on Mayweather.

    And one could easily bring up the fact that the Oscar that Floyd fought was more dangerous than the Oscar that Manny fought. Being it was at Oscar's best weightclass since his days at 147, and he wasn't killing himself to make weight. On fight night he was healthy, focused, and ready to do battle.

    Can't say the same about him the night of the Pacquiao fight.

          Lets be real though, Floyd just says that kinda **** to help hype up the fight... gets some trash talking going and gets the fight more speculation.

                I expect Mayweather to beat him, I want a Mosley fight but it would still be a good win and I'd give him his dues....

                but I still want a Mosley fight

                  My attack on floyd was because he said Hatton was his left-overs and that is the reason Manny destroyed him so quickly. And my argument to that is atleast manny fought hatton at his best weight.

                    I wouldn't be surprised. But he'd have to beat Cotto, Mosely, Clottey or some legit welters after that.

What I am saying is that that is bull**** because as recently as 2 years ago they had a 4 weight division gap between them while each was already building a case for the fighter of the decade. A title just as mythical as p4p or atg. Bottomline is that as recently as 2 years ago a Pac-Floyd match was utterly inconceivable. In my opinion for that fight to even happen at all would be a testament to how much more Pac has achieved in boxing compared to Floyd in this decade.
                      OK. I see where you are coming from.
