Why do people demand Floyd fight the toughest opposition out there but not Pacquiao?

[zerosixthree]

They demanded the Mayweather fight. There isn't any tougher opposition than that. The guys you're mentioning are several steps down.

Never heard pac run his mouth and call himself the best ever have you?
When you talk that way people expect you to back it up.
Beating not one prime elite fighter for the last 7 years just doesn't do it for people sorry.
Canelo may end up being a great win but of course he made him drop to 152 even after fighting 2 faded great fighters at 154 already.

He beat all the champions at welterweight since 2010, Mosley was the WBA champion and Floyd was the challenger, Ortiz was the WBC champion and Floyd was the challenger, Cotto was the champ and Floyd was the challenger, Guerrero was a champ like Floyd at the time, Canelo was the champ and Floyd was the challenger, Maidana was the WBA champion and Pacquiao was the WBO champion, who else could he have fought in the last 5 years? if he would've fought Alexander instead of Guerrero people would be like oh he ducked Guerrero, and same applies for all other opponents.

Mosley KOs Margarito in 2009 Floyd fights Mosley and Pacquiao fights Margarito in 2010 and Pacquiao gets more credit even though he fought the loser, Margarito beats and cuts up Cotto Pacquiao fights shot Cotto and nobody says **** about fighting Margarito who actually won the fight and was also promoted by Arum, Mike Alvarado beats Brandon Rios, Pacquiao fights Rios instead of Alvarado, Joshua Clottey loses to Cotto, Pacquiao fights him fresh off the loss, and the list of CHERRY PICKED SHOT opponents goes on and on and ON, hell it goes back to 2005, Morales gets shut out by Zahir Raheem, Pacquiao fights Morales and nobody even mentions Zahir Raheem as a potential opponent and nobody in the media or none of the fans calls Pacquiao out on the BS, Floyd Mayweather would NEVER get away with fighting this crappy level of opposition!

Because Manny doesn't believe he is better than Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson

So canelo and triple g should be called cherrypickers because they want to fight an even more older Miguel Cotto.

nothing but the truth.

It can be said that many Pac fans here were really just May haters all the time now that Pac got defeated they don't care about him much, they side with their next chosen guy to defeat Mayweather let that be Golovkin, Khan or anyone with a pulse.

This is the best answer. I've been on this site for a while now and I've seen campaigns for: casamayor, hatton, Freitas, Guzman, Oscar, Judah, spinks, margacheato, Shane, Marquez, victor (lol), Lopez, Guerrero, Martinez, canelo, maidana, Cotto, and of course pacquiao... It doesn't matter who he fights or how obscure or ridiculous the opponent there will always be someone else.

There are posters on here who swore if Floyd beat Cotto, Mosley,hatton, canelo and pacquiao they would concede that Floyd is top 10.... You would be hard pressed to find anyone who's conceded anything.

You don't know that for a fact

The ether... My word the ether in this post

[megas30]

People, whether they want to admit, see Floyd as the superior talent and better fighter, so he's held to a higher standard. Also, some well never feel satisfied until he loses, so they get excited when they see a fighter they believe will hand him that duly loss, but salty when that said fighter fail to deliver and resort to excuses. It is an insane cycle being played out over the 18 years of Floyd's career.

[IMDAZED]

Because Manny is nowhere near as good.
