Pac is fighting at 130 pounds. If Floyd had stayed at 130 and fought Pacquiao there, Floyd would wipe the canvas with Manny.
That's why Floyd is #1 and Pac ain't.
When someone finds me the fighter who could beat Floyd, I'll stop rating him #1.

I've got respect for Pacquiao and I love watching his fights. But he's just not in Mayweather's league as a boxer.
no doubt pbf is prolly the better boxer, but take inconsideration pac has fought countless of better boxer then he is, and he is the one who wipe the canvas of them.
Pac deserves a lot of respect for beating Barrera, going 2-1 against Morales, and the fight vs. Marquez, which I thought Pac narrowly won.
But does anyone doubt that Mayweather would've beaten Barrera, Morales, or Marquez I sure don't. In fact, I think he would've beaten them in easier fashion than Pac did.
Morales is one of my favorite fighters ever, yet I have no doubt that he would have been totally overmatched against Floyd.
And no one can use the "Floyd was ducking them" argument, because those guys weren't at 130 when Floyd was.

theres more to it then just whos the better boxer, thats why we have them fight. there is heart, determination, stamina, k.o power, speed etc etc. plus pac is known to give hell no any great boxer.
You're right, and in addition to being a better boxer, Floyd is also faster than Pacquiao, and he's got more stamina too. Not that Pac doesn't have great stamina, but there is no fighter who is as well-conditioned as Mayweather.
I also have seen no evidence that Mayweather lacks heart or determination. Although I'm sure there are plenty of people here who believe Floyd isn't determined because he "runs."

ITS A OVERSTATEMENT ANYTIME A FAN JUST SAYS PBF WILL EASILY BOX PAC.
It's not an overstatement when there's evidence to back it up.
Mayweather is bigger, faster, and has a 5 inch reach advantage over Pacquiao.
Pac needs to fight moving forward, which is good for Floyd because he can fight extremely well going backwards.
Pac telegraphs his punches at times, but was able to land big shots against both MAB and Morales because he was faster than them. He enjoys no such speed advantage against Floyd, and therefore would need to rely on boxing ability and technique to land a big shot, and I think we've already agreed that Pac is not in Floyd's league in terms of boxing ability and technique.

Pac is a great fighter providing thrilling fights. But he's not on Floyd's level as a boxer, and there's no shame in that.
