What difference does it make if a logical and reasonable opinion is coming from a male or female. Just when you thought Paklas can't sound any more pathetic, some how and some way you Paklas seem to take pathetic to another level.Comment

She's just saying that to protect Top Rank as they kick Pacquiao into the class action abyss (someone is going to have to pay these lawyers and it sure doesn't look like it is going to be Top Rank). At least these people will have crappier lawyers than the IRS?

Don't forget that 2006 Manny was much wilder (and open) than the 2015 version of Manny.We saw the counter rights, but it wasn't fully apparent until Pacquiao/Marquez 3, where that's pretty much all Dinamita did all night. Morales was on another level in that first fight, didn't really exploit the counter right fully the second fight.
It's the reason most feel Marquez really got robbed the third fight, and why Marquez went for a KO in the 4th fight. With the same counter right.
See, I agree with your second sentence in terms of how much better Floyd was at the time. But I don't agree that he would have gotten past that early Manny.
Remember, no matter what a ref says, Zab Judah is the first person to get a true knock down on Floyd Mayweather. Came from a hook, one of Manny's specialty punches. 2006 Manny's hook was coming so fast and from so many angles, I feel 2006 Floyd would have gotten caught with one of them in a later round.
The last boxer I honestly can envision beating Floyd May is Roy Jones when he fought briefly at 154. Roy had unreal reflexes. His hands were explosive. Never seen a guy with blinding hand speed and one punch KO power. Not even Manny has a better blend of speed and power.
Anyway, I digress...Comment

Floyd was also faster, more aggressive and let his hands go. He has always been a counter puncher and just like you said JMM could neutralize Manny with the right hand, so would Floyd who always had the laser counter right. Manny would have never beaten Floyd. A prime Floyd beats a prime Manny without question because Floyd's counter punching style, foot work and defense would have made Pacquiao look how he did on May 2nd if not worst. I always find it funny when people say "if Manny was in his prime" but if Mayweather was primed Manny would have gotten beat easier.See, I agree with your second sentence in terms of how much better Floyd was at the time.

Maybe Roy but I think if Zab Judah was a disciplined fighter, I think he would have been the one to do it. Zab was faster than Mayweather and had pop when he let his hands go but mentally he just couldn't hack it.Don't forget that 2006 Manny was much wilder (and open) than the 2015 version of Manny.
