    Floyd has to prove he can beat Morales first before he can qualify to be a candidate to beat Pac.

      He probably has a better shot at 130 than 147, Floyd is much more a thinking mans fighter at 147 and he really makes guys play the game he wants to play.

      At 130 Floyd was just to much man for those dudes, but Manny is a stud and if you are just straight up going man to man Manny stands a much better shot in that sort of battle.

      I still think Floyd wins at 130 because he still has a lot of advantages, but I think it would be more interesting.

          That's how morales got him, and marquez is unstoppable.
          Mayweather at 130 was the total package. He had great power, he had a high work-rate, tremendous speed and foot movement. All Pacquiao had was the was the left hand at 130. Mayweather>>>>>>Morales. That's not even a question. Mayweather would **** him with jabs and right hand.


          Here is Mayweather dismantling season veteran Tony Pep in his 17th pro fight.

            It would have been Pac's best chance to score a KO, because Floyd was still developing defensively and took more risks, but Pac's best chance to beat Floyd is at 140 or 147.

              Pacquiao's style of reckless is different from most fighters being reckless.

                Experience was never an issue with Mayweather, he won the WBC SFW title within two years, and beat Genaro Hernandez. Mayweather at 130 was unbeatable. You take the Mayweather that knocked out Angel Manfredy in two rounds vs Manny Pacquiao who beat Morales for the third time. Mayweather would beat him for sure.

                  Floyd would beat him. but Pac is no walkover at 130 for anybody.. He'd pressure floyd none stop until round 12 and if floyd goes toe to toe like marquez did he would have fallen too. People dont realize that pac is a big 130 pounder before and he bulks up to 146 by fight night. and it could play a big factor in the fight. Yes floyd probably has everything at 130, but pac also has the chin, the size, the speed, the awkward southpaw style, the power and the stamina to keep what he's doing best for the whole fight at 130.

                  Call me ******, but I believe that pac's best chance against floyd 2nd to his prime improve one at 2009 is at 130..
                  Floyd had trouble with the castillo style at 135, and I believe manny's style is tougher to handle because he's a southpaw and Floyd hasn't adjusted to fight southpaws before at 130. But ofcourse now he has perfected it, we saw that against ortiz. but he had trouble with judah and corley because he hasnt master it yet by that time.

                      if only floyd is as flamboyant as his fans, the fight already happens..

                      but he still cares for his health evewrytime pac's name is being thrown. and yet he is still boxing...
