    Mayweather helped build Pacquiao when he retired and handed Pacquiao the DLH opportunity. Without that Pacquiao would never have reached the level of hype he did.

            For at least four years, or more, there have been discissions about a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight, but the deal never happened for one reason or another. Mayweather does not expect a fight with Pacquiao to ever happen down the road.

            The same way the media is hyping up Canelo, yet he has no problem fighting Alvarez?

            Face it, Mayweather ducked Pacquiao. The world saw it.

              That's why you failed the 11 year olds IQ test.

                  Imagine the first 5 rounds of the Judah vs Mayweather fight, but for an entire 12 rounds.

                  Paq had a real shot at taking over Mayweather. A real, legitimate shot.

                  It's pathetic the fight never took place. Now it doesn't even matter though. The sooner Mayweather retires, the better. Things will go back to normal I think. Fights that need to get made will get made and we can see who's really who in the sport.

                    There is no denying that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the greatest p4p boxers of all time. However, unfortunately, there is also no denying that he shamelessly ducked Manny Pacquiao, another undeniable greatest p4p fighter of all time, for the entirety of their collective primes.

                    He can say whatever he wants and his loyal followers will mindlessly believe whatever boloney comes forth from his undefeated lips; but the fact of the matter is.....Floyd, who admittedly "loves the money", turned down oodles and oodles of it for fear of his "O" going away in an embarrassing manner.

                    All the hulaballoo about Manny being overrated is mere anger at himself for waiting too long to enact his "Sugar Ray Leonard" strategy of taking advantage of a man who has slowed down just enough to beat him.....ala Leonard/Hagler.

                    Up until now...well, a few years ago, I guess...I believed the greatest fight that never took place was Lewis/Bowe, until I realized that Rid**** never could have handled Lewis with the late great Manny Steward in his corner. (with Pepe Corea, it's still debatable).

                    Now, unfortunately, Mayweather/Pacquiao holds that dubious position for all time. Not because of greedy promoters, or the mob, or injury; but because one fighter who wants so badly to be recognized as "great" didn't have what it took to dare to be great....and that, in and of itself, says something about the man as a fighter, regardless of how much physical talent and excellent boxing skill he displayed through out his career. When his true moment came......he opted to let it pass. And, for one, I hope that keeps him up at night into his old age.

                    Peace, I'm out.

                      This I agree with.

                      Would he have won them all, though? More than likely, no. Especially now that weigh-ins take place on the day before a fight.

                      Pacquiao's lineal titles still span over 8 divisions anyway. Just saying.
