What if Pacquiao-Mayweather had actually happened around 2009?

[SouthpawRight]

Marquez is your answer. Pac had a hard time vs Marquez and Floyd was a bigger and much better version of the counterpunching/defense stile. I don't know how many here forgot the many excuses TR and Pac had in not taking the fight.

Floyd apparently who is older than Pac was waiting for him to get old. Can't make this up.

plus Floyd had a great jab

Juan had a decent jab

Floyd was too scared of being stopped in 2009 that's why the fight didn't happen.

Pointed the finger at Manny being on peds as a deflection and excuse to duck

[Smash]

floyd would be fav of course but it would have been a good fight i think with a dangerous pac at that time trying to track him down

[ThePriceOfEggs]

In an alternate universe Manny would be unbeaten and Floyd would right now be trying to make a serious comeback.

[famicommander]

Floyd wins easily just like he did when they actually fought.

Nobody knows for certain but old man Mosley almost sent Mayweather to the moon with a couple of flush overhand rights. Imagine if Pacquiao landed a bomb or two clean in his PRIME...

LOL @ Larry's hateful commentary above plus Mayweather was an absolutely beautiful fighter to watch in his prime (NO Diddy!)

I think Manny would have been able to consistently connect for 12 rounds, and that is what Floyd was most scared of

But Mosley had more 1 punch power, soooo??

different style! marquez has an aggressive counter punching style... floyd is just a defensive fighter, especially in 2009, pretty boy floyd was more aggressive, money may, not so much. floyd had a hard time with Maidana's style (similar to pac but way limited than pac), and this fight was in 2014, so in 2009, floyd would had a very hard time dealing with manny's relentless pressure. in 2009, pac was still in his prime, fresh off from giving cotto a beat down, which in fact, was the reason why the mayweather family started accusing manny! it was in cotto fight. they was shook!
