If Floyd Followed Pacquiao's Route To Greatness...

cotto isn't a boxer? last time i checked, he OUTBOXED mosley.And fought Judah's conqueror he did, yet pac never faced Raheem now did he? And to be honest, had he fought Raheem and won, so many of our arguments against Pac would be dismissed. Pac's biggest problem with many of his detractors is he has not fought the American Black Boxing style. Raheem was a perfect opportunity to do so, yet he opted to face the loser Morales.
Floyd at least fought Baldy and Judah, two different styles of opponent all together. Pac didn't seem to want to have anything to do with a pure boxer.
I'm not saying Clottey is unworthy, but its not the right fight to make when you got Mayweather out there saying lets do this. Also, even though Clottey doesn't look like Pacquiao's normal foes (he's Black ya know) he still fights like a typical Pac opponent, just with a better cover.
i agree, pac-may should have been finalized long ago. but both of their egos got in the way. fans will support their fighter of choice no matter what.
the difference is that pac is fighting the tougher fights in the WW division. cotto and now clottey. pbf has been campaigning in ww for sometime now and still hasn't faced a legitamate WW ie cotto, mosley, margarito (at the time) etc.Comment

For Floyd to go from 130-160+ is nearly unheard of but for Marquez to go from 130/135-147 is normal and happens all the time. His problem is he chose the wrong guy to fight at 147, I'm sure he would of done a lot better vs a lesser fighter, and even Pacquiao who would of made more errors.you don't know what p4p means lol. p4p means if they were the same size how good would they be. how does marquez moving up to welterweight make them the same size?
so if mayweather is a p4p fighter why doesn't he fight pavlik, froch, or dawson? and when they beat him i will say what i saw in that fight is evidence they would always beat him even though he would be fat and ineffective like marquez was vs floyd.Comment

Neither of those examples are unheard of. Marquez fought his career at the lower weights, so for him to move up to WW for the first time ever and at age 36 was ridiculous. If you expected him to still be great at that weight then I don't know what to tell you.For Floyd to go from 130-160+ is nearly unheard of but for Marquez to go from 130/135-147 is normal and happens all the time.

of course he's going to lok damn near perfect. he fought a blown up fighter. i'd look perfect against 13 year old.[/B]
You must not of really watched that fight, that version of Floyd is the toughest version of Floyd for any fighter to beat. He barely made 1 mistake in that fight. Marquez at his best would of had no chance against that version of Mayweather.
Now if Pac didn't want to give him 50-50 then make a counter proposal, dont just move on to an opponent with no negotiation power that you can bully, like Clottey.Comment

pac at 146 vs marquez at 144 yea that is a huge error if the commision let that happen and got marquez killed.For Floyd to go from 130-160+ is nearly unheard of but for Marquez to go from 130/135-147 is normal and happens all the time. His problem is he chose the wrong guy to fight at 147, I'm sure he would of done a lot better vs a lesser fighter, and even Pacquiao who would of made more errors.Comment
