      PAC fought since he was 15 was he prime at 22? No
      Your logic is delusional when it comes to Floyd

          Yes, he does have the wins over Berrera, Marquez, and Morales but he also has some serious Ls from a couple of those guys as well.

          I think when it is all said and done, Floyd will have more wins over HOF folks than Pac...and of course no losses at all, especially to someone like Torrecampo, Singsurat, or Horn.

          As far as dominant, I remember a lot of those contests as tooth and nail, especially where Marquez is concerned. Floyd's win against Marquez is easier than anything Pac did.

          Again, I don't see anything here that needs "dealing with".

          Do you, man.
          Floyd lost to castillo though. Prime Pac would never lose to castillo in fact he will demolish him

            Even Guerrero at the time Floyd fought him.

            Prime what?

            Just prior to the fight, Floyd didn't even know who Guerrero was!
            Guerrero fought at the lower divisions and then was out of boxing for a while then comes back and beats a guy that has no-defense and we saw this movie before (Berto)? So no, he was NOT a prime WW fighter!!!


            Ortiz and his 1 WW fight where he was knocked down TWICE????
            Where he quit against Maidana???
            Even after Floyd, Ortiz continued to struggle at WW

            Maybe Hatton and his 1 WW fight where he struggled and where numerous people say he lost?


            Maidana,
            Where he lost badly to Devon Alexander???
            Where fans had picked Khan over Maidana in that cherry picking contest???

              For over a decade so many fans have had so much invested of themselves in Floyd losing. Thousands of hilarious threads like this. It snowballed as Mayweather beat their favorite fighters one after another. Gatti fans, Oscar fans, Pacquiao fans, Cotto fans, Mosely fans, and finally McGregor fans all pretended first he wouldn't fight their guy and then saw him destroy them. The hate just grew from there. You had the previous group of fans joining the next group to root against Mayweather and so on. The hate was so big that boxing fans were rooting for an MMA guy to beat a boxer. Been crazy.

              Now it's like watching the 5 stages of grief as Floyd retires 50-0 and they know they'll never ever see him lose. Acceptance is the last stage, we may never see that from some.

                yeah, why not?

                  This joke went down well with my morning coffee.

                    Do you, man.
                    let's look at this way.

                    Pacquiao has no prime opponents in the last 10 years.

                    Marquez's was old when he Knocked him out(and the MD).
                    Floyd was past it when he descion-ed him

Besides I think he did fight Maidana during that time and Maidana was a lil terror. Not the most skilled, but awkward, powerful, and had underrated handspeed.
                      Underrated skills too. Brawler/pressure fighter type skills, but skills nonetheless.
