PRIME Floyd Mayweather vs PRIME Manny Pacquiao, Who would win and how?

[pasawayako]

Floyd destroyed jmm. Absolutely video gane style destruction. Jmm was at a slower speed, boxing IQ than Floyd and jmm is hall of fame.
Jmm went life and death with Manny.

dela hoya, mosley, hatton didn't win a single round against pac and they are very competitive against floyd. lmao.

Pacquiao would win. Floyd never faced a fighter with prime Pac's skillset before. Pac's speed, footwork, quickness, explosiveness and movement would have been too much for Floyd. Look at the trouble he had with Judah in the first half of their fight, now imagine Pac going at him for a full 12 rounds. I had Floyd losing to Castillo in their first fight and Maidana in their first scrap as well. Pac was far superior than these two.

Remember, Pac fought Floyd after some grueling fights that took a lot of steam out of him. He had 17 more fights than Floyd, and was coming off a KO loss to JMM a couple years prior that made him a different fighter. Pac prior to that JMM KO would have made easy work of Floyd, and Floyd new this. Hell, he openly admits he "marinated" the fight for five years, so there is no question about who avoided this fight during Pac's best years.

This is 100% true.

You lose all credibility when you say you have him losing to Maidana. Learn how to score a fight. Floyd won that fight pretty easily but it was extremely ugly.

You have no credibility to begin with. I know how to score fights because I have scored them. Besides, anyone who can objectively look at a fight can see that Maidana won the first fight. Floyd had every advantage and still cried. Maidana was a cherry-pick gone wrong.

When you say "Prime Pac" all I can remember was a guy who was steadily gaining weight an conditioning improving along with it....WHO WASNT GOING THRU DRUGTESTING, and the Manny nor anyone with his style only has a chance at beating a superior boxer.
And Roach admitted that it was "Prime Pac" refusal of the drug testing is what held the fight up(the same one he eventually had to take)......AND FLOYD WAS EVEN BETTER THEN...

Floyd all day long

people say manny would have thrown more punches being more active around 2010 but no just the fact vs floyd you can't do that but it would have created more openings for a younger sharper floyd to counter plus mayweathers chin has proven to be damn near cast iron

he beats pac 9/10 to a decision

competitive wtf? mosley landed 2 hellacious punches and after that got schooled and hatton done some good work in spurts but floyd started teeing off on him from the mid rounds and eventually became the first guy to stop him

Prior to the fight, I thought Mayweather would neutralize Pacquiao's offense and land the cross at will.

After seeing how Floyd fought so cautiously, I think Pacquiao's style, speed, and physical strength could have him winning the decision if they fought the best versions of one another in each of their shared divisions.

But don't forget, Prime Mayweather hits much harder because he didn't injure his hand back then.
He was also more reckless and was way more offensive.
I truly do not believe Mayweather was scared of Prime Pacquiao. He just wanted a fair fight hence the steroid testing bs
And also he wanted to delay it to make the fight as big as it can possibly be, and it was a success.

A prime Pac beats a prime Money May.

The versions floyd beat were not totally shot, drained or had a coke habit.

The 154 Oscar that Floyd gave 16 lbs away to on the night would have KOed Manny.

The version Manny beat was nearly 20lbs lighter, have a real good think about that.
