Ever tried matching Pacquiao's numbers up against past non-heavyweight/ non-american greats?

the fact that there is strong competition from a non american barely english speaking lower weight fighter against a brash american fighting at a higher weight shows how much floyd has fallen off the face of mainstream sports in america & he's already lost the battle.
there really shouldnt be competition between pac & floyd.
Floyd has a olympic medal, a celebrated uncle & dad with a known name in boxing, top rank cherry picking fights from the very beginning of his career. when floyd & roy were king, boxing stunk. After tyson retired, the sport became a niche sport, irrelevant in the mainstream & general sporting world.
yet it took a short asian guy to bring boxing back.
floyd's already lost.

Mayweather has 4 out of the top 10 ppv grossing fights of all time without even fighting Pacquiao.
2 of the 4 mention above, are ranked #1 & #2 All Time as of now. Pacquiao needs to simply take the drug tests, then maybe your argument would make sense.

why would floyd ask for a extra drug test that against a fighter that has zero evidence of steroid use & has never failed a steroid test that's in place?
he won 40 fights without extra drug testing then all of a sudden against a former flyweight with 3 fights at welter he wants a test never been done before in the history of professional prize fighting until floyd & shane?

The reason why the OSDT test was stipulated in the contract, is because team Mayweather wants to make sure Pacquiao is 100% free of PED's. It insures the fight is fair, and raises professional prize fighting to a higher standard than other sports. The current testing is not sufficient, and can be defeated hence the request for a better test.
