    and you're right..he still has several fights left in him before we see any signs of real deterioration or whatever. But for the most part, i think by beating Pacquiao, everyone, I mean EVERYONE..like athletes, actors & musicians that marvel at him and visit him at the gym..casual fans...real fans..everyone..the media...everyone..will recognize him as the best in the business.

          lol Cotto's cool in my book. I respect the guy. but yeah, he has no business in there with floyd i think. Floyd would pick him apart.

            I dont think he will get full credit if he beats Pacquiao, I mean it's always an excuse when it comes to Floyd. People say "He beat up a featherweight in Marquez" so who's to say he will get the credit for beating Pacquiao who is the same size as Marquez? Im not sure, But sooner or later another hype train will come along and he will have to beat them too.

            I would like to see him humiliate Cotto. The man who he supposedly "ducked" even though we know Arum never wanted the fight and was much more focused on putting Cotto in there with his own fighters. I think Floyd would enjoying beating Pacquiao and Cotto, Bob Arum's two biggest draws as of right now.

                No way. That's when he can really destroy the rest of the WW's in peace.

                  Marquez never fought above 135, and he climbs into the ring for his 1st fight at WW with, arguably, the best boxer in the world. While Manny proved he can fight at WW

                  I don't think people will use that excuse, lol

                    you're right about him being bigger and people bringing that up if he wins. but, well, do you think more people feel pacquiao will win? like what are the odds??? to me, i think more people want manny to win. like..he's def the good guy in this fight ya know? they wanna see him beat floyd up. and when pac lands a few hard shots or whatever, the crowd will go bananas...in the hopes that this is how the match will remain. once floyd picks the guy apart...people will have the dry salty face. sorta like when he fought ODLH. I loved it
