PacMan vs Mayweather a few years back, prime for prime (or thereabouts)

Well I'm not sure about that last post @Beanflicker, I think it's undisputable that Floyd IS ducking Pac. Pac and Roach have gone on record countless times in line with the general public pleading for the fight and Floyd has basically admitted shamelessly he is avoiding Pac. Pac is a warrior, he would fight anybody anytime, no doubt. That doesn't mean Floyd is necessarily "scared" of Pac himself but he is certainly worried about something.

On your first post I can't really pick a bone with any of it. It was an excellent post and an entirely respectable opinion!! All I can add is that I've never seen too many of Floyd's opponents with quite the combination of qualities as I listed above either.

But sure, Pac's struggles with Marquez are a very serious factor to consider. Marquez though is imo a very tough and exceptionally talented boxer, one of the best Mexican fighters of all time imo. Floyd got him convincingly once but I would not say based on that that Floyd is completely on another level than Juan.

You've given the other side of the coin well, I find it funny that many are considering Amir Khan a viable opponent for Floyd though but not Manny!

Who cares if they went out and publicly pleaded for the fight? I can publicly plead for Jessica Alba to suck my dick, it doesn't mean I think it's going to happen. It's just posturing. I'd like to see the quote where Floyd "shamelessly admits" to ducking Pac, too.

In the end, the fight never happened because of both guy's huge egos. I know that's a hard pill for people to swallow because everyone hates Floyd and everyone looks at Pacquiao as the humble, "every man's man", but it's true. Pacquaio turned down 40 fucking million dollars to fight Floyd, and he refused to take an Olympic-style drug test, the same kind of test that THOUSANDS of Olympic athletes take every Olympic games and still manage to complete on the highest level. If people want to live in the fantasy world where they believe Floyd spent 2008-2012 hiding under his bed shivering at the thought of having to face Manny, go right ahead. There's no law against being stupid.

And Manny is a warrior? Of course he is. But what about Floyd? He's been fighting champions and top contenders since 1998. He's been in the ring with killers. He called out DLH out when DLH was 154 and Floyd was still at 130. Just because he fights SMART and doesn't go out there to get hit and damaged like a bum, doesn't mean he's a pussy.
