    I'm not totally sold on that really. I mean can u name a single oponent of Manny's that Floyd wouldn't be an overwhelming favourite to win not just the fight, but cirtually every round?

    Manny hasn no names on his resume that anyone would expect Floyd to trip up against.

    If Floyd had fought all of Manny's opponents its hard to argue against him being 56-0 now.
    And P4P right now Manny Pacquiao, wouldn't lose to anyone on Floyd Mayweather's resume either.

    IMO Corrales would have sparked Pacquiao out quite easily at 130 and 135

    Well i don't think so Joel Casamayor defeated Diego Corrales twice, and it should of been 3 times. And he was a fast Southpaw like Manny Pacquiao, and plus i was talking about P4P right now, because Manny Pacquiao has improved alot.

    well i mean the raw Pacquiao who got his ass whooped by Morales and Marquez, and IMO Corrales won the 2nd fight fairly, and was doing very well in the 1st fight, and difference between Casamayor and Pacquiao is that Casamayor was a slick southpaw who had good counterpunching skills, Manny still got hit plenty at 130 and 135 and Corrales had the power to hurt him

    Look at it this way Mayweather has been P4P#1 for more years than Pacquiao through this decade and 2 of his biggest wins De La Hoya and Hatton Floyd had already beaten and De La Hoya was the number 1 at his strong weight Light-Middle when Floyd beat him.

    Who has Manny ever dodged?

    I can tell you who Floyd has:

    Ricky Hatton at 140 - Floyd stopped at the weight and fought Gatti, Brussles, and Corley....Corley almost sparked him so he decided not to fight hatton maybe

    Margarito and Cotto at 147 - When Floyd moved up to 147 he fought Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, and Hatton....ha....Thats the best you can do at 147?

    I am not saying these guys beat Floyd but he should have fought them when people at least thought they posed a threat........

    If you look at the 10 fights Floyd fought above 140 the only real threats were De La Hoya and Mosley, and Floyd fought scared vs ODLH.

    If you look at Mannys 4 fights above 140 he took on dangerous opponents in ODLH (manny at least chose to fight), Hatton (at 140), Cotto and Clottey.

    Clottey and Mosley were not considered.

    But Hatton was a former world Champ at Welterweight so he was enough of a threat at 147lbs to win a title also Mayweather would have done the same with Hatton at 140lbs i think people do get blinded by Pacquiao's man of the people thing and he only jumped on De La Hoya because Freddie Roach spotted the I.V marks on his arm where they had been trying to rehydrate him had De La Hoya been fully Hydrated Manny wouldn't have been so aggressive but this is only my opinion
