What if Pacquiao-Mayweather had actually happened around 2009?

I know I probably get lumped into the 'hater' category but if he'd fought Cotto rather than 'retire' after the Hatton fight I probably would have become a fan.Comment

You may be right. But Maidana had Floyd all over the place trying not to get hit, and Mosley was a punch away from stopping Floyd.You know how many iterations of negotiations they did
At one point in time Arum was saying they needed to wait for an entire stadium to be built only for them to eventually just fight at the MGM like all the big fights were
Floyd isn't getting knocked out that is cope. It's possible he gets out worked and loses a close decision. Floyd ain't getting hit like cotton and skeleton Oscar did.
I believe a prime Pac was too fast and too awkward for Floyd. Floyd knew it too. When he spoke about Pac at that point you could see the hesitation clearly. Pac was a different animal even at the end of his prime and Mayweather wanted zero part of him. I like Floyd and he is a great defensive fighter. But during those negotiations when he started bringing up more drug testing he would basically go kn defensive rants about how he had to protect his health. LOL.
Manny has never failed a drug test and he got bigger over time, there was zero reason for any of that. Floyd knew there was a good chance he would get stopped. 100%.

Shane couldn't knock Floyd down despite buckling his knees
As for manny his power and finishing ability was alright but far from Buff Guy Artur Beterbiev 10/10 finisher
Juan, whose chin and defense are nowhere near Floyd, survived after being knocked down 3 times in the round by manny

guys without a big weight advantage who could beat Floyd
Henry and Roberto. OTHER TOP 10 ALL TIMES
Top Swarmers would bring it to Floyd and exploit his so and so powerLast edited by SouthpawRight; 11-28-2025, 04:01 PM.Comment

1) Let's relive those fights
1) But Maidana had Floyd all over the place trying not to get hit, and Mosley was a punch away from stopping Floyd.
2) I believe a prime Pac was too fast and too awkward for Floyd. Floyd knew it too. When he spoke about Pac at that point you could see the hesitation clearly. Pac was a different animal even at the end of his prime and Mayweather wanted zero part of him. I like Floyd and he is a great defensive fighter. But during those negotiations when he started bringing up more drug testing he would basically go kn defensive rants about how he had to protect his health. LOL.
3) Manny has never failed a drug test
1
Maidana scored high on ineffective combos and illegal tactics
2
May gave him a boxing lesson
As for Mosley almost ending May, let's take a look
"It was at that moment, Mosley knew he fcked up."
May went on and dominated the fight immediately after Shane landed that punch.
Buckled knees is not the same as a fight ender
I'll show you what a fight ender is
See the difference
?
2) Bruh....Lesser men beat PRIME Pac ! PBF makes easy work of him. That's why Pac refused to roll up his sleeve. Chose to take the fight to a courtroom instead
To add to the BS, Pac's boss, Bob wanted to build a new stadium for the event that was never going to happen
Let me ask you a question you will not answer....
Would YOU have run away from RANDOM BLOOD TESTS ?!?!?!
Pac had the "power" to make the fight happen and declined due to cowardice.
3) Neither did Holy
