What happens when Mayweather completely dominates Pacquiao?

What if, coulda, woulda, shoulda... LMAO at *****s...

Pacquiao is a product of careful matchmaking. Cotto's chin was ruined after Margarito's plaster, and his mind was mentally weak. He was already at a stylistic disadvantage in the first place. Add in him being shot, 2lbs drained with a ruined chin, and you get what you saw.

However, right now the media disagrees with this even if it's obvious to see and even Roach admitted it all himself. Cotto was dangerous due to his power, but by far the most vulnerable fighter at WW as well.

So..., they have Pacquiao as not only an ATG, but top 10 or top 20. He beat a legitimate (even if a ruined one at 145) Welter Weight, so he *proved* he is not the smaller man against Mayweather, who is not as big as Cotto in the ring.

Keep in mind, Morales whooped Pacquiao even though his career was over. As seen when Raheem totally dominated him using the slick American Boxing style, right after Morales whooped Pacquiao. Coming off his one-sided domination by Raheem, Morales was forced to DRAIN weight for the Pacquiao rematch and Pacquiao STILL went life and death with a shot drained Morales.

Also, Marquez out-boxed Pacquiao twice and arguably beat him twice as well. According to the very same people (Bert Sugar, Yahoo!, ESPN, etc) who are now calling Pacquiao the best in the sport right now.

Pacquiao basically fought the same fighter 3 fights in a row. Oscar, Hatton, and Cotto were all left hand dominant fighters with strong left hooks with no right hand, all 3 were declined and no longer the same fighters as they once were, with Oscars decline and weight problems being the most obvious. The type of fighter to beat Pacquiao must posses a good straight right hand, such as Morales and Marquez. Pacquiao has fought tailor made opposition since going life and death with the smaller Marquez.

Pacquiao has proved he's the greatest boxer against tailor made opposition. We have not seen him fight a defensive fighter who will neutralize his offensive ability, ever.

My question to everyone is...

Will Mayweather get full credit for embarrassing Pacquiao and exposing him as way beneath his level in terms of Boxing skills all around. OR, will Mayweather be called the "bigger man" and never get his accolades? Both fighters started out at 106lbs, except Mayweather was in the amateurs while Pacquiao was a kid in the pro's. Mayweather did lose in the amateurs, and Pacquiao was brutally KO'd twice in those lower weights. It proves that their time spent at those lower weights are blown highly out of proportion.

If Floyd Mayweather Jr. makes Manny Pacquiao look like Bobby Pacquiao, will he finally get his credit as the greatest boxer of this era?

You and I both know when Floyd makes Pac look unskilled, he will not get credit from this board no matter what.

If Mayweather wins he will get the respect and well deserved respect at that. There will be some haters that bash him still and say Pacquaio is this and that but for the most part real fans will give him credit. Mayweathers life in the sport would be much easier if he ends up beating Pacquaio you can believe that.

Can he wait until they are shot and drain them, like Pacquiao does?

Both came from 106.

Pac fought Cotto,

Floyd retired in part because of Cotto.

What happens when Mayweather Jr avoids Pacquiao all together because his father Snr tells him to. Do you commit suicide when you realize the truth that some fighters don't want to take risks!?

Mayweather can't really avoid Pac. He is the clear opponent. Unless he wants to fight the winner of Berto/Mosley ... He wins nothing and won't draw if he fights Berto...and he doesn't want Mosley for the same reason.

Money is "Money's" motivation...therefore the clear opponent is Pac. He will not avoid him. Everyone knows he is a better boxer than Pac. Pac is just riding high on confidence right now, he seems unstoppable. Floyd will bring him back down. The fight will happen because Floyd doesn't really have any other option. Pac on the other hand can still fight the winner of Mosley/Berto for another belt.


And no, Floyd will not get full credit for a win. He has never gotten full credit for pretty much any win other than Corrales.

Pac fought Cotto because both fighters are owned by Arum. He put the cards in Pac's favor and made the fight happen.

Arum himself admitted that Cotto is NOT ready for Mayweather, and when the Cotto hype was strong, he NEVER requested a fight with Mayweather.



Above you will see Arum state that Cotto is not ready for Mayweather. When Cotto finally became ready, he never dared to mention Floyd's name. He would say, "talk to my boss Arum", and Arum NEVER asked for a fight to happen.

You're getting me wrong though, I'd favor Floyd over Pacquiao that doesn't automatically mean the fight will be made though. Floyd stylistically is all wrong for Manny. He probably can match Pacquiaos foot-speed if not better, his hand speed may be able to match Pacquiao or hell might even be faster. No one knows the outcome until they fight, but Mayweather is rightfully the favorite.
