    Because Pacquiao fights nothing like he does now when he was at 135. The guy didn't have nearly as much endurance as he does now. And probably less power. Whether that be the weight or not, don't matter. Pacquiao doesn't fight at 135 like he does 140+.

      I personally feel Pac looked real fast at 135. David Diaz was a tough guy.

      Pac's best weight to me is 140. Yes only 1 fight again but he seemed to make it comfrtably and was a little faster and still had the power from not draining so much and losing muscle.

        Simple fact is. Pacquiao has a better chance at 140+ than 135. Pacquiao had too many problems at 135. If JMM took him to a controversial decision. Floyd would beat the tattoos off of him at 135. Way better counter-puncher than JMM, way better defense than JMM, and way more power at 135 than JMM. Floyd would more than likely turn Pacquiao inside out like Corrales.
        pac looked superb at 135! but that may be because he only fought David Diaz. he fought JMM at 126 and 130.

              Floyd schools Pac at 135, definitely. I think Floyd would win decisively at 147, at 135 it would be a clinic.

              Just my opinion.

                Yeah, what I meant though was lower weights. Pacquiao looks like he is way more comfortable at 140. Alot more full of life.

                  I think the current Pac would have an easier time beating a 135 Floyd. Floyd was a monster at that weight but he is harder to beat now IMO. by letting his hands go alot more Floyd will be more open for Pac's attacks and IMO he's more durable than Floyd and probably has more pop in his punches. It'd be a war thats for damn sure but I'd give the edge to Pac.

                    what else is new?
                    Exactly what I was gonna post. People should know that Floyd doesn't lose in fantasy fights and Pac never wins.

                      Floyd could have arguable been the best 130lbs ever.

                      Here's a quote of the RING magazine regarding his career at super featherweight:

                      Junior Welterweight: This is where Mayweather was at his very best and reigned the longest (3 1/2 years). He was close to unbeatable t 130 pounds, and this is the one division in which he did enough work to garner consideration as possibly the best ever. Pretty Boy was 9-0(6) in title fights, beating top-tier oppponents such as Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Corrales, and Jesus Chavez. In fact, he stopped all four of those fighters, and didn't lose more than a couple of rounds along the way. Mayweather was utterly dominant at junior light, and it isn't blasphemy to mention his name alongside Chavez, Alexis Arguello, and Sandy Saddler. In fact, Mayweather's reign is almost identical to those of Chavez and Arguello in terms of lenght, defenses, and quality of opposition. Great as Saddler was, he didn't defend the 130-pound belt much. So it's fair to place Floyd in the top three of all-time.
