When Mayweather is the best he doesn't "want" to have to fight anyone, they have to make a name for themselves and fight him.
and Floyd beat everyone to get to the top and then when he was on top people wanted him to act like a fighter still working their way up.
if you look at Pacquiao's list of fighters he has beaten easily, the only person he got to was Barerra which he deserves credit for thats one.
But he only beat Morales after Morales lost to Raheem and moved back down in weight, this is true isn't it? Why didnt Pacquiao fight Raheem? Why did he fight an obviously faded morales? quite simple, for the money. The same thing people try to bash Mayweather for going after. And he never dominated Marquez in ANY of their meetings. Maybe for one round in the first fight but thats the only round he ever dominated isn't it?
Pacquiao moved up and fought David Diaz for the lightweight title right? Why didn't he fight Nate Campbell or Casamayor? Thats about on par with mayweather beating gatti if you wanna go there isn't it?
it can go both ways but everyone only wants to bash Mayweather
