Any version of Floyd vs same weight version of Manny.

I think Marquez was willing to stick his chin in there. I don't think Floyd fights like that.

That would be to Floyd's benefit IMO. Marquez was a master technician but he sometimes had a very leaky defense unlike Floyd. Floyd was bigger than Marquez, faster, better counter puncher with better movement/legs and speed. I've never seen Floyd dropped at all, let alone 3 times in the same round and I'm a Marquez fan too.

I think Prime Manny would have been able to hit Floyd a lot more consistently.

Floyd is always better. Manny got dominated by money mayweather. Pretty boy floyd version would have schooled manny harder, beat him up and possibly KO him.

We know what you think and we know you cant back it up with anything, youre on a one way street with blinkers on.

It was apparent that Floyd had better hand and foot speed than Manny in their bout.

Any earlier version of Floyd is even quicker and at the lower weights Mayweather actually had power.

I don't see how Manny wins, especially without a jab.

I think Floyd was too scared to play the odds when the fight was 50/50

The odds were never 50/50, they were just slightly closer to people enamored by Manny's exciting style.

Which version of Manny would be prime enough to beat Floyd? Prime Manny IMO would be at the lower weights to me. Floyd would always have a size advantage since hes bigger/taller etc.

It was definitely too close for Floyd to feel comfortable with just making the fight in 2009.

Only version that had a chance of winning the cotto version of pacquiao. Even then I Have Mayweather winning 8 times out of 10.

Keep running chicken sht .

Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports said today that he was given a copy of an 8 page bout agreement from the end of 2009 which would have ended with a March 13, 2010 superfight:

A contract sent on Dec. 11, 2009, by Golden Boy Promotions on behalf of Mayweather to Top Rank on behalf of Pacquiao proposed a 50-50 financial split between the sides for a fight that would have been held March 13, 2010.

The eight-page agreement is so detailed that it indicates which of the two fighters would step onto the scale first at the weigh-in (Pacquiao), who would walk to the ring first (Pacquiao), who would be introduced first (Mayweather) and who had first choice of the locker room (Mayweather).

It detailed that the bout would have been on HBO Pay-Per-View at a cost of $59.95. Billing was to be "Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, presented by Top Rank, Golden Boy Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and M-P Promotions in association with [approved sponsors and the site]."

Pacquiao's side declined the 2009 contract offer because Pacquiao objected to Mayweather's request for the drug testing.
