Quote:unfortunately i think you are right... my buddy and i were talking about it the other day, i wish mayweather would have fought pacman right around the time of the pacman/hatton fight... i remember freddie roach calling the round and the punch manny would drop ricky with and it was almost textbook like he predicted... i remember thinking "this guy is the best ive ever seen in my generation"... imo, this fight would be 10x the fight if it happen back then.

That's exactly why Mayweather never wanted to fight Pac at that time. I give Mayweather all the respect in the world for his accomplishments to date and whether he wins or loses against Pac he will still go down as an all timer.

 

I will always remember that he refused to fight Pac when they were both in their absolute primes though and nothing that happens going forward is going to change that.
