You must be kidding me with that statement! He's already a sure shot into the hall of fame and you say by losing to Oscar and Floyd would turn him into the same status of fighter as Mayorga and Judah?
I get it, you don't think Pac will win, and yes, Saddoboxer is playing on your last nerve (wouldn't be the first person) but that statement is just out of this world!
LMFAO!!! That cracked me up.
Come to think of it. This is a good match up.
Pacquiao's title quest
112 vs. Chatchai Sasakul- Lineal Champion
122 vs. Ledwaba- Title holder
126 vs. Barrera- Lineal Champion
130 vs. JMM- Lineal Champion
135 vs. DD - Title holder
Floyd's
130 vs. Genaro Hernandez- Lineal
135- Castillo- Lineal
140 vs. Gatti- title holder
147 vs. Baldomir- Lineal
154 vs. DLH- Title holder
The big difference in their resume is pacquiao fought the best lineal champions. Baldomir and Castillo is no match for jmm and mab
His biggest win was against DLH who was at time with the belt rank #5 on the ring magazine on sw.
Pac has put on an extra 20.5% in weight from 112, where he won his first title (He actually started at 106).
Mayweather put on 18.4% in weight from 130, where he won his first title.
Pacman is naturally smaller, and heas a smaller frame to pack this kind of increase on.
What Pac has done is more impressive, even if it was against inferior opposition.
Manny would be the huge underdog against "Money", but it should be another mega event for both guys.
Let's not get carried away, an OLD Casamayor was doing very well against JMM, and just from how JMM fights, the version of Castillo that fought Mayweather would eat him alive. Are you forgetting who Castillo was? Both him and Corrales WERE the best lightweights since Mosley left the division.
If for some reason Pac manages to beat Oscar, even by the smallest margin, I can't imagine Floyd NOT coming out of retirement to fight him. The timing is perfect. He's had just enough rest, and this is the biggest fight that can be made in boxing, hands down. I can't see Floyd being able to resist that $$$ and that potential feather in his cap.
If Pac loses (most likely), Pac fight Hatton next. Nobody will think less of Manny for losing the the much bigger man, and it would make perfect sense for him to drop down to 140, a weight he should be able to handle much better than 147. The size difference between real WW's and even the top LWW's is significant - a much bigger difference than between LWW's and LWs.
Then, if Pac beats Hatton, Floyd will probably come back to fight Pac after he's coming off a win against the top man at 140. If Hatton wins, Floyd has Hatton (maybe at 140) or Oscar. I still wouldn't be surprised if Floyd tries to cherry-pick a MW belt at some point.
Behold the prophecy of Rozzydamus.
