And there is literally no over exaggeration when one says Pacquiao fought a string of ATGs or HOFers when he fought and often battered the likes of MAB, JMM, Morales, Ledwabo, Cotto, Hatton, Marg etc. Pacquiao often beat those guys at their best and was more than once the underdog. You just make yourself sound less a boxing fan when trying to go after Pacs quality all the while defending fights like May v Berto/Ortiz/Guerrero.
Now, get back to the topic at end. Mayweather created a risk averse, safety first, "I'm gonna rip off everyone I can" environment like no other fighter before. That's the bottom line.
