Pacquiao "I don't need Mayweather"

I disagree that he doesn't need Mayweather.

There are question marks against almost all of their big wins/fights in the eyes of both fighters detractors.

This is the only fight in which nobody can say a damn thing about the winner of the fight - They will go down as the fighter of this era with no excuses.

For Pacquiao to say he doesn't need Mayweather or vice versa, both are sorely mistaken.

I think each of them has 1 fighter where nothing can be said to take away from the win - Mayweather has Corales when both were up there in the p4p ranks and Manny has Barrera (1st fight).

The rest of the fights are either controversial wins, people make issues about weight or whether the opponent was in their prime.

There are usually for and against arguements for these opponents (rightfully or wrongfully).

Mayweather vs Pacquiao is the fight to secure one mans legacy as THE BEST - They both have a good legacy now but if they don't fight before the end of their careers, people will argue who THE BEST of this era was forever.

Not sure if everyone considers this a big demand but one of Mayweather's demands was to for fight headline Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. instead of the other way around. Pretty sure it irked Pacquiao's camp since he's considered the the no 1. p4p fighter at the moment.
