I think the OP makes some interesting points and the answer is NO he wont get credit, just like he barely gets credit for beating ODLH, Hatton, and Marquez...
What happens when Mayweather completely dominates Pacquiao?
Collapse
-
Pac fought Cotto and Floyd made excuses not to.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.
"He needs to get his PPVS up".
Lets deal with the facts, Pac has ripped apart to shreds like opponents, just as Cotto did to like opponent with Floyd. The boxing community was clamoring for a fight between Floyd and Miguel for quite some time.
Pac destroyed Cotto when Floyd could have, should have and would have,
if he had the balls.
Thats why, even if Mayweather were to beat Pacquiao,
Manny would still be the more revered and cherished fighter. Because he made the fights the fans want to see and Floyd makes excuses to avoid them.

Unfortunately, Cotto didn't want a fight with Mayweather. If he did, the fight would have happened. What Floyd said was, he needs to become his own boss and call me out. Cotto never mentioned his name. Arum never mentioned his name. At least Roach is speaking up and making sure this fight is going to happen. Cotto hid behind his fans.Pac fought Cotto and Floyd made excuses not to.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao is what the fans want the most, and that is what they are going to get. You're already finding an excuse to discredit Mayweather for fighting Pacquiao. Don't contradict yourself!Comment

He must fight Pac first.
His stans don't understand that.
Hypothetical fight scenarios mean nothing.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda doesn't prove greatness.
And "legacy don't pay bills" according to the guy himself.
Does he want to fight Pac?
Or does he just want money?
Without an even split agreement we'll never know.
And it won't be Pac's fault if it don't happen.Comment

heh, floyd's haters will never give him credit.
let me put it this way - can you imagine what this board would have been like if Floyd had fought Miguel but demanded in writing that Migs come down to 145 and not 147, but still have his belt on the line?
The hate from this board would have radiated out of the solar system.Comment

"Leonard and Al handle my fights".
Plenty of others called Floyd out, one to his face, documented, and then another, to his face, in a boxing ring, documented,
and he bitched out just like he bitched out and made excuses to not even fight Cotto.
lol finding an excuse to discredit this fight?
How do you figure that?
I'd pay 65 dollars again to see Manny Pacquiao fight.

You gave credit to Pac for fighting fights the public wants to see, but you won't give Mayweather credit for fighting Pacquiao, which is the fight EVERYONE wants to see.Floyds not even his own boss,
"Leonard and Al handle my fights".

You said even if Mayweather fights Pacquiao, that Pacquiao will get more credit since he fought Cotto... A fighter who was scared to mention Floyd's name.
Don't forget Valero, Guzman, Raheem, and numerous others all called out Pacquiao. Pacquiao ducked them and fought Larios, Solis, and other bums before waiting for the big guys to become shot and he still needed to drain them.Comment

Pac got plenty of flak for making this fight at 145, from myself included.heh, floyd's haters will never give him credit.

However, he still fought Miguel Cotto when Floyd Mayweather refused to do so for many years.
Now that Pacquiao is getting his props for his performance,
Floyd stans are hurt because Pacquiao proved with his fists, what Floyd does with his mouth and only with his mouth if you're a threat to him.
