The obsession that the people of this site have with this matchup is almost disturbing. It's the same debate over and over. The chance to see this fight has come and gone. Pacquiao was almost killed in his last fight for goodness sake. Get over it.
Prime for prime I always lean towards Mayweather by comfortable UD.
It's a ****ing travesty this fight didn't happen, though. It seems like most people want to blame one side or the other (depending on whose d*ck you prefer the taste of), but I think it was pretty clear to most unbiased observers that neither man wanted any part of the other. Manny first turned down the tests, then when he agreed to them, Floyd started with all this irrelevant "where was Pacquiao in 1996?" bull****.
If this fight happens, it'll still be major. Manny and Floyd aren't so much different from 2010-2011, people are really trippin' if they think that. We'll see what Manny looks like in November but he was looking good in the 4th Marquez fight last December. I still think both have 2 years of good fighting left. Maybe it won't be Ali-Frazier I level which it would have been in 2010-2011, but it could still be Ali-Frazier III, with both still having enough left to make it a meaningful fight.
Both guys are to blame for it not happening.
Manny for refusing to take the tests in 2010-2011, Floyd for switching up the split from 50-50 to he wants the bigger share, and of course I still say REAL big reason is.....BOB ARUM. Floyd and Bob will never do business. Make no mistake, if Pacquiao went free agent like Cotto did in 2012, the fight would happen in seconds.

Nope, this is reality, this is the biggest fight, today.
If Pacquiao continues to perform at a relatively high level over the next year or two then you would think it has to happen eventually. I know Pacquiao is on HBO and Mayweather is on Showtime, but there is likely too much money in this fight (especially since Floyd already beat Canelo) for it not to be seriously considered.
