        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.
        There are certain moments in sport, where athletes need to rise to the occasion 'When Carl Lewis won 4 gold medals at the 1984 Olympics, that was his defining moment' Carl Lewis had to do it then, and he did.That was the pivotal moment in Carl Lewis's career, that sparked everything etc.

        Manny Pacquiao had his moment vs a way past it Floyd Mayweather, and he still could not capitalize 'And he was also sparked out badly Marquez'.

        How can Pacquiao over take Mayweather when? The division is poor, and who he is fighting is not on the level of Mayweather? Is Pacquiao going to fight Spence or Crawford? Who is he fighting next? Nobody knows.

        Note: Out of the two fighters, there is only one fighter who's behavior was extremely suspect when it comes to performance enhancing drugs 'And that is Manny Pacquiao'. Overnight, he went from being Bionic to JUST a fast, dynamic powerful fighter etc Nobody in the game of boxing accuses Floyd Mayweather of performance enhancing drugs, only some bizarre distorted fans.

                Nanny’s prime started beating all those big guys with the aid of PED.

                He had a GREAT run: Clottey, Margarito & Cotto.

                  Good question.

                  Floyd probably from Judah to JMM

                  Manny probably Clottey to Margs. There's a chance he used PEDs though
