Floyd Mayweather Junior was more past his peak in 2015 than Manny Pacquiao 'Marcos Maidana was a basic straight forward, rough and aggressive fighter. There is nothing that sophisticated about Maidana's style, which in my opinion Mayweather should have struggled with. Maidana was chosen as an opponent for Mayweather, so he could produce a similar performance like he did against Auturo Gatti. But that never happened, because Floyd Mayweather Junior was miles outside of his peak'.

Note: And for the people who are trying to make a comparison between Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao on common opponents 'They need to understand, that Manny Pacquiao never fought Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, or even Shane Mosley at their best. Floyd Mayweather fought better versions, of all of those fighters. Ether because they were closer to their peak when he fought them, or? They were not having to navigated some completely unnecessary catch weight and rehydration clause'.

All of those wins are still awesome wins for Manny Pacquiao, but they are devalued slightly due to catch weights and rehydration clauses 'It was an unnecessary stipulation that was put in place because? For whatever reason Manny Pacquiao has never been as certain in his ability as Floyd Mayweather Junior'.

Floyd Mayweather Junior beat Manny Pacquiao while not even getting out of 2nd gear 'It was Mayweather's fundamental boxing skills, which won him the fight. If he was a less gifted fighter technically, I think that version of Manny Pacquiao would have at some point in the fight inflicted serious damage with his power. But instead Manny Pacquiao really did not have many answers for the fundamental boxing game of Floyd Mayweather Junior. I think a better version of Floyd Mayweather Junior would have been able to push forward and force a stoppage vs Manny Pacquiao in 2015. But at that stage in Mayweather's career, his usual high level of brute strength was not evident in his fights vs Maidana I & II or Pacquiao'.

To conclude: Manny Pacquiao may have been a more powerful puncher than Floyd Mayweather Junior 'But in terms of overall brute strength, Mayweather was a by far stronger fighter than Pacquiao. Infact? Mayweather at his peak or outside, pound for pound had a extremely high level of brute strength. Fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Ricky Hatton, and many more. None of those fighters could push him about, even when they were fighting at their most comfortable and optimal weight classes'.

Manny Pacquiao could be pushed about, and was routinely throughout his career badly smashed up by his opponents 'Because if he was lacking in one area, compared to all his other great attributes. It was in the area of brute strength. This may have been the reason why his team stipulated all of those catch weights and rehydration clauses'.

Overall I think there is definitive evidence in the performances of Floyd Mayweather Junior 'That in 2015 he was more outside of his peak than Manny Pacquiao. But he still won their battle, because great fighters can sometimes find a way to win' etc.

Broner would've beat Gatti just like floyd did. Maidana was better than broner, and maidens would've smashed Gatti too. Why wouldn't you think maidana tests floyd, and it's not because floyd was past prime. Floyd would always struggle with maidanas educated pressure. Maidana beat Broner, so why would Floyd ever expect easy fight with Maidana?

It's your opinion only that the versions pac best weren't as good as the versions floyd best but that is irrelevant as dlh, hatton, ssm, cotto,jm m would take everything into account when easily concluding pac was greater.......tougher than floyd ever was.
That's like saying as SRL wasn't at his best when he fought Terry Norris and hector Camacho, that SRL will say they were tougher than hagler and Hearn and duran, as when srl fought hector Camacho SRL wasn't at his best so it was more easy to impress that version of SRL?
Which is flawed logic!? Old fighters, past prime fighters do still know their mind. Their opinions are still valid, there's no reason to believe their opinions are distorted versions of the truth, or suspect in some way?
