Pacquiao is a phenomenal fighter and may very well be the most exciting fighter in the world, but he is simply not on Floyd's level when it comes to a PFP argument. For all his brilliance, Manny has had 5 fights in his career that have not resulted in a victory. Sure, a few of those happened when he was very young, but they count nonetheless. On the other hand, Mayweather is an undefeated professional with titles in 4 weight classes.
Floyd gets criticized for the level of his opposition, but that's only because he beats people so easily. Everyone forgets, but Corrales was a top 10 PFP guy when he fought Floyd in '01. Many of the experts picked Corrales. Not only did Corrales not win a round, he didn't even land one quality punch the whole fight.
If Mayweather and Pacquiao fought when Floyd was at 130 or 135, Mayweather would've won easily. He'd be the bigger, stronger, and much faster of the two. I'd have a hard time seeing Manny making it past the 7th or 8th round with Mayweather.
