Re: Prime Mayweather vs Prime Pacquiao. I think Floyd would dominate Manny even worse
Prime May wins.
It seems Pac's exciting style has led some to claim it's skill, it's not.
Looking at the style of Morales countering Pac & bloodied him. JMM 1st fights counters his way into a draw. Countering is PBF's specialty.
Thinking back on Pac's fight with Larios, who took it the distance had a 2 inch reach, where Floyd has like 3 1/2, he'd use that as well to his advantage.
Pac in his prime was considered as having bad balance, where I prefer to say, he just wanted to get the last shot in, regardless of his position/footing. Roach corrected that, to which I think a wild swinging Pac would've been tougher for Floyd than a calculated one.
And looking at how patient Pac was against MAB, that prime Pac waits...and loses just as bad.
Prime Pac IMO never out boxed, he just outlasted, out hustled, out gutted his foes, throwing lightening fast combos from any direction. Maybe this goes 2-0 with Pac getting credit in 1st fight for throwing a bazillion punches, but not really landing.
Floyd hears the bad call chants...gives rematch and does a similar job in the Castillo fight. Patient, methodical, counters using his reach and timing to defeat Pac in a 2nd fight that is somewhat dull compared to the 1st one!
