So Pacquiao fights tailormade foes but Mayweather doesn't?

Manny hasnt knocked anybody out in 4 years.

You maybe right, but atleast Manny has participated in one of the biggest knock outs in boxing.

Pacquiao was the perceived underdog by any number of people in as many as 15 or 20 fights in his career depending who you were talking to at the time. Floyd has been the overwhelming favorite in virtually every fight he's ever had as a professional. Which guy has taken the harder path? Do we even need to ask? Both are first rate professionals. One guy has taken the hard way. One guy has taken the easy way.

I honestly thought ORtiz was tougher for Floyd than many believe. Before the cheapshot he was steamrolling through Ortiz's punches. I believe the risk averse Floyd took the safe route with the cheapshot.

Of course Floyd found his way out and it's much much more complicated than it appeared.

No chance he just wanted to drill the guy once for jumping up and head butting him. Nah, too plausible.

So it's Floyd's fault he's always expected to win. Gotcha.

If he fought Pacquiao and Matthyse in his next two, he'd still be a solid favorite. That makes those fights the "easy way" by your logic.

One thing you can bet on, Margarito would've taken Floyds "0" .

Would be good if Floyd actually fought someone with decent foot speed instead of these flat footed fighters.

i don't understand is losing to paul williams awful? it's not like losing to baldomir or anything. i mean only a true sociopath would fight someone who just lost to baldomir and pretend it's a big fight.

So it's Pacquiao's fault he's been disadvantaged against much of his opposition and he hasn't always been expected to win. Gotcha.

Good fail. Mayweather won't fight Pacquiao because he's unwilling to assume that level liability and rarely if ever has. Well played.

Cong****, simp. You thought of the most obvious, rudimentary response available.You're deep man.

Margo was a bigger and stronger version of Castillo.

Floyd ran in the first fight with Castillo cause he couldn't hurt him, Floyd had trouble hurting guys bast 130, he couldn't even knock Gatti out without hitting him when he wasn't looking.

What Floyd fears is a fighter who has an iron chin or isn;t afraid to get hit, who has tons of stamina, punches you from everywhere, body head, and is relentless. He also doesn't like a fighter who moves a lot, he had trouble timing Cotto when Cotto got on his toes, once Cotto got on his toes Floyd got popped with jabs, and when he opens up he gets countered, its why he doesn't throw many combos he got rocked by Corley when he tried to mix it up, he got rocked by Mosley when he tried to mix it up, he got his nose and mouth busted by a slow shot Cotto when he tried to open up with combos. Floyd isn't willing to open up much, and the way he leans back like he did against a slow Guerrero he might get knocked out like Anderson Silva if he does that pull counter against a guy who can catch his chin with a quick power shot.
