    Was Pac ducking Floyd between 2000-2007?

    Why didn't Pac challenge Mayweather during that time period when they were still in the same weight class. Mayweather was calling out the big dawgs like ODLH and Mosley while Pac was content going against smaller fighters.

      This what happens when you’re just a fanboy following Floyd’s career then suddenly Pac just got into this fanboy’s radar in 2009.

      In case you’d be lazy to do some research, they were 2 or 3 weight classes apart (or more) when they were building up their careers. The closest they got is when Pac was still about to jump to 130 while Floyd is exiting 135. They were never close to each other’s radar

        Everyone was ducking Floyd. That’s how he managed to never fight anyone worth sht in their prime.

          We need keyword bans on "Floyd Mayweather" and "Manny Pacquiao." These threads are out of control.

            Mayweather was a big fan of Pacquiao, until Pacquiao became a possible threat

                They were never the same size. Mayweather has always been the naturally bigger heavier man. Mayweather turned pro as a jr lightweight while Pac started as a pro at 106 pounds. they did not fight for a long time because Mayweather had unfair demands on the money split and drug tests. pac never ducked him out of fear and would rematch him right now.

                  All the excuses why Pac could not fight Floyd was endless.

                  -From Roach saying that they were not ready for him
                  -Scared of needles
                  -If they take blood he will be smaller
                  -If they take blood he will be weak
                  -A cut that would need 100 days to heal
                  -A stadium has to be built to host the event
                  etc.

                  The first negotiations fell apart because for drug test then after Pac got put to sleep was endorsing blood test.

                  I don't blame Pac, I blame Arum.
