    Who would you have him losing against in 2007?

    Im thinking Paul Williams and Cotto give him the toughest fights.

Tapology says Mayweather retired in 2007 and then came back and fought Juan Manuel Marquez in 2009. I'm guessing that was a tuneup to shake off ring rust since Marquez was picked from the Lightweight division.

          That list shows you how much of a ducker Floyd was

          Could have made fights with all of those guys in their prime or more closer to it

            How could Pacquaio have been ranked #5 at WW in June of 2008 when he hadn't even fought at WW then?

            You can't see the part at the Top of your link where it says from March 2009 edition of the magazine? So.... not June of 2008.

            So again, more outright revisionist history.

            Stick to what actually happened and refrain from making up fake narratives that didn't.

                Manny aside, Floyd fake retiring for two years to duck that list is the truth

                    true pac came up and fought some of the guys who floyd really should have fought at the time, but he bailed out

                      Ok as it seems you didn't read what I said, those rankings are from the March 2009 edition of The Ring Magazine.

                      Meaning, in June of 2008, Pacquaio was not ranked #5 and was actually not ranked as he hadn't even fought there yet.

                      So, you lied. And the narrative you're attempting to push is incorrect.
