Pacquiao was a legend (fights in lower weight classes) before Floyd was brought up as the fighter to 'beat' floyd. Most everything past 130 lbs. is icing on the cake and solidifying himself as one of the ATGs.

Pac became a superstar when he defeated Barrera........then a Megastar after Oscar.

But I agree that Floyd's undefeated record is what made Pacquiao the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE> This very "0" has made Floyd a *****. His choices after coming out of retirement like Marquez, Nate Campbell, Hatton's brother and Ricky Hatton instead of calling out Cotto, Mosley and Williams.

He was only forced to fight Mosley, a fight he never wanted.

Don't agree 100%, but I see what you mean. The genuine prospect of Floyd getting beaten excites and interests alot of people. Pacquaio taking guys out in spectacular fashion has heightened that interest, and made Pacquiao a bigger star than ever before.

I know some of you are like "WTF???" But it is the dead ass truth. Think about who Floyd is... An undefeated boxer. Talkin' ****. With a lot of money. Society hates that ****. Instead of using that as motivation to get where he's at or higher, they hate on him. So they are always looking for the guy that can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. The funny thing is that they've been doing this for half of his career. Before Manny moved up in weight everyone thought he was an entertaining boxer but he didn't have a cult like he has now. As soon as Manny defeated ODLH, people were thinking maybe this guy could get Floyd. After trashing Hatton everyone started saying he had the Power to KO Floyd and that's where the cult became strong. After Cotto it has been tatted on Pac fans asses that Pac could beat Floyd. But the point is, if Floyd wasn't so great, people wouldn't play this hype game on any man within 2 divisions of 147 who has a little speed and punching power. If Floyd Mayweather jr. Wasn't the undefeated **** talker that he is, Pacs status WOULD NOT be where it is right now...

Matter of fact, If Floyd Mayweather Jr wasn't the the **** talking undefeated boxer that he is today, BOXINGs status wouldn't be where it is. NSB wouldn't have guys like: Modern Talking, Strugg, a huge asian fan base, Pull Counter and the rest of them. It would be a pure boxing fan base. Guys who like to watch friday night fights and **** like that...

Oscar made both of them famous.

What is this bull****?

Manny Pacquiao would have been a crossover star with Floyd staying retired aswell.
