Prime Mayweather vs Prime Pacquiao. I think Floyd would dominate Manny even worse

[james16million]

Floyd Mayweather is much older than Pacquiao (although Pacquiao has been in more "wars" in boxing and was probably more out of prime), but there are many reasons why I think Prime Floyd would smoke Pacquiao even worse.

Main reasons
-Prime Floyd was more aggressive. When he was Pretty Boy Floyd, he knocked people out and had a perfectly healthy hand
-Prime Floyd was more faster and had quicker reflexes
-Floyd smoked Canelo and Marquez, who knocked out Pacquiao
-Floyd hit way harder in his prime

I go back and forth on this question. Floyd is an ATG, and the naturally larger man (which I feel is his major advantage). I also feel that there was a time where he pressed his advantage and went for the knockout, especially against opponents who were his size and smaller (can’t blame him for not trying to k.o. larger guys like Oscar, Canelo, and Baldomir).

Prime Manny was a force, however, so I’m not convinced Floyd stops, or even beats him. Not saying Manny is the definite winner either, but I think that fight is much closer and debatable in 2009/10. When fighters are in full stride, like both of those guys were at that time, they are very difficult to beat, never mind stopping them. Unfortunately, we will never know how that fight would’ve gone at this point.

Manny wins, Floyd was intimidated by Pac Man.

Manny wins, Floyd was intimidated by Pac Man.

yep, Makes sense. He was so intimidated by him that he fucking schooled him!

Their common opponent was DelaHoya, PAcman despite being much smaller stopped him, whilst Mayweather did well to get through the fight with a points win.

Prime, primo which is about 2009.

Firstly , you said he was intimidated , which is plain fucking ridiculous. Secondly, I can’t remember anyone beating Floyd around 2009. Forget about “gave him trouble” or “made him work” and any other meaningless bullshit.
Finally, Ricky Hatton fought them both around this time, Pac ko’d Him early , Floyd stopped him late. You’d think he’d go for Manny right? WRONG! He always said Floyd would beat Manny because he’s just too fucking good in any moment in time.
One thing I will concede is that if they fought today, Manny would definitely win. I suppose that’s why they won’t be fighting doh.

Mayweather is only one year older than Pacquiao.

Also, Mayweather's prime is truly hard to gauge because he had such a long prime.

It's arguable that he was in his prime at 130, but he was still formidable right up to 154.

Pacquiao was also another weight hopper, but I think he was at his destructive best at 147, although about 10 - 12 years ago.

One of the worst fights I have ever seen..put this to bed.

There will be no rematch and if they were both in their primes..it’s pretty hard to go against a prime pretty boy when a prime PAC is having Marquez and Morales problems.

PAC beat Horn and Bradley and should never have had those losses on his record but that’s what happens when you’re under a cancer such as Bob arum.
