..and beats JMM and Pacquiao at 140/147, will people give him credit for it, or will they continue to say that he cherry picked his fights and delegitimize these victories by saying that he beat up on smaller fighters and ducked Mosley/Williams/Cotto/Aaron Pryor?

I'm curious how people feel about this. I know he's supposedly retired, but with all the rumblings of his imminent return, I because curious to know how people would feel if he came back to fight JMM and Pacquiao instead of taking on the champions at 147.

Disclaimer: This is not a thread about Manny Pacquaio, please do not turn it into one. It is about the way Mayweather is/would be percieved.

Disclaimer II: The Aaron Pryor comment was a reference to SRL, it was a joke. I'm aware that Pryor is no longer fighting and that PBF never ducked him. Thank you.
