If you kindly read what I have said, it has nothing to do with what you have said...I said: "he fights whoever is in front of him". As far as not fighting anybody, relatively Pacquiao has fought more (quantity) and fought more quality opponents than Mayweather over a large spectrum of weight classes and styles.Yeah I enjoyed the Manny v Paul Williams fight, the fight with shane when he was #1 and the fight with Margs at 147. oops.
Come on man, can we please stop over exaggerating Manny's willingness to fight people, especially when there is a litany of fighters he didn't fight just like Floyd.
Mayweather created a "niche" in his weight division after he has tapered into a comfortable weight and didn't want to go beyond that because he doesn't like taking risks. Pacquiao relatively went up and down inorder to accomodate what it is store for him likewise.
I also believe in TIMING. As Pacquiao was climbing the weight ladder he fought the best in that current time and moving on. Mayweather could have even gone a bit higher as far as Junior Middleweight or Middleweight and still be able to compete with his size, but no staying put and only fighting an average of 2 fights a year most specially in the last decade.
So I respectfully disagree.Comment

This is a ****** claim. Like who? Other than Barrera and Morales (the latter beat him) and Marquez KOed him, after being robbed blind 2 times (I gave 1st fight to Pac). The guy feasted on Floyd's leftovers. What spectra without catchweights are you talking about? Please educate us.If you kindly read what I have said, it has nothing to do with what you have said...I said: "he fights whoever is in front of him".

Algieri will bounce back, he was just nervous, he needs a better trainer and he will give anyone at 140 or 147 trouble with his running and jab style.
Would love to see him fight Miguel Vasquez at 140 that would be something.Comment

pwill was already at 154 when pac was still at 135.Yeah I enjoyed the Manny v Paul Williams fight, the fight with shane when he was #1 and the fight with Margs at 147. oops.

mosley was past it by the time too. a prime mosley vs. pac could never have happened.
fighting marg at 150 instead of 147 helped marg, the bigger guy.Comment
