Who Wins Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao?

[Beanflicker]

Manny really doesn't have anything to lose. He's going to make an insane amount of money and so what if he loses, he already got put to sleep by JMM so a loss to Floyd isn't really going to make people think less of him. And of course his fans will go to their graves saying that Pac was washed up when Floyd beat him, and Pac would have killed Floyd if they fought 4 years earlier. He's got 5 loses on his record, a 6th loss isn't going to make anyone love him any less.

Floyd's earning power and legacy really hinges on that undefeated record, because people hate Floyd. The second he loses to anyone, people are going to go "see, he was never good, he just fought hand picked stiffs and when he finally fought someone good he lost."

Ah, I don't know if I necessarily agree with your last statement. Everyone knows and can tell who the true haters are (for both guys), and I doubt those opinions matter for very much at all. If either guy wins, it isn't as impressive as it would've been 4 or 5 years ago. If either guy loses, they will remain an ATG in the eyes of historians n anyone whose opinion matters. Of the two sets of fans, and where I think things go terribly wrong, is that many Floyd fans blow it out of proportion if u disagree with their feelings that Floyd is TBE. You can articulate a rational argument why you feel this way,band even give credit to Floyd as an ATG and many of his fans will insist you hate him and think he is a cherry picking ducker. Just go back and look through the threads. Anyways, Floyd is an ATG and the best of his generation regardless of what happens now.

If Mayweather loses to Pac, people will for sure get on his ass and discredit his entire career. People discredit his entire career anyway. I've been talking to Floyd haters for years, I know them in and out.

And I'm talking about the haters. I don't think someone is necessarily a hater if they don't think he's the greatest boxer ever. The haters are the ones who go to the extreme, who will sit down and explain to you how every fight Floyd had was a hand picked set up and he never fought anyone.
