These two are the best of the current era. They're both going down as great fighters regardless of what happens, but they will always be tainted if they don't fight. Always, especially when there was almost a decades worth of opportunities.
Had Floyd fought and beaten Pacquiao 5 years ago. That "TBE" would actually be a pretty reasonable claim - What could you hold against him? The thing is, the best are not only willing, but determined to show they're the best. Floyd knows what the biggest fight is and he isn't making it happen. Neither is Pac and it's beyond tiring at this point hearing people picking sides in a rivalry which doesn't exist beyond ****ing twitter.
