Does Mayweather really have to fight Pacquiao?

[Sugar Sting Ray]

Everyone knows Floyd, a superior ring technician, will totally tool, out think, and out box the technically inferior Pacquiao. So why bother fighting him? Is knowing he'll win not enough? I mean, why bother? Everyone already knows the results, right?

Because Pacquiao has been using Mayweather's name to sell garbage fights to morons for 2 years now...Mayweather is doing the same using Pacquiao's name to sell garbage fights...they won't fight each other until far too late.

Hey I guess that's the rationale that was used to avoid all the fights he's avoided since he stepped onto the 147 scene. No biggie. Who needs real boxing when we can have fantasy fights and Fight Night

[OG Triple]

mayweather never needed to step in the ring ever.

we'll it would be a career defining fight which he should take and both fighters would gain major respect whatever the outcome

Mayweather #1 P4P fantasy fighter of all time...Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Williams, Tszyu, Martinez, the list goes on and on...He only fights guys, he is unsure he can beat...I dare you to name someone with a better fantasy resume

Which is why I'm bewildered at Floyd's tendency to duck. He must not care about his legacy.

questions are still asked after endless and related threads about this existed on this forum, not worth writing home about.

I guess one more nut hugging thread about the biggest coward to ever lace up the gloves should be expected, go write the bum a letter or something.
