    pac is also past his prime and already gone through a devastating k.o loss. no wonder floyd has an edge their plus the shoulder injury and IV conroversy.

      You cannot even compare their performances vs De La Hoya, because De La Hoya massively underestimated Pacquiao 'He seemed to think he could beat Pacquiao, even if he was weight drained'.

      Listen both Pacquaio and Mayweather are levels above, Crawford, Spence, Lomachenko and Lopez 'But Mayweather at his peak, was just that much better than Pacquaio'.

      Mayweather also displayed a higher certainty in his own abilities 'For one fighting De La Hoya at 154 pounds'.

          So you wanted Pacquiao to go from 135 to 154 to fight Oscar? Stop posting.

              Why not? If he was that good, why not?

              Miguel Cotto.
              Ricky Hatton.
              Oscar De La Hoya.

              These are all fighters that Pacquiao at the peak of his career? Did not fight at the weight they where campaigning at etc

              At the peak of his career Pacquiao, did not show the same certainty in his own abilities as Mayweather did 'Although his performances where more exciting and dramatic than Mayweathers'.

                  Revisionist history at its finest, before the fight people were accusing ODLH of the ultimate cherry pick because Pac was "easy pickins".

                  Mayweather not only waited for Pac to slow down HE NEVER LEFT HIS ULITMATE COMFORT ZONE AKA NEVADA, the only state that allows you to use Xylocaine pre fight (ALL OTHER SC's in the US consider it a PED because its a numbing agent). Mayweather's career was extended OUTRIGHT because he changed styles AND WAS injecting his hands with a numbing agent when needed pre fight.

                  I can't fault Mayweather for his antics because he knows the game, Pac thou has some blame when the fight finally happened (knowing he had shoulder issues, this was CONFIRMED POST FIGHT BY THE SURGERY) YOU CAN'T use that injury as an excuse because you fought anyways.

                  NOW WILL MAYWEATHER PUT THAT RECORD UP any come out of retirement and give pac that rematch? NOPE. Pac is too active and a live dog to allow that.

                  MAYWEATHER IS AN ATG but his legacy will be overtaken by Pacquiao because of things OUTSIDE of boxing.

                      Your talking about Las Vegas where most of the big fights happen at? The same place where he almost got robbed by canelo? The same place where they let maidana maul him with illegal rabbit punches?
