Theres no question Mayweather thought of Manny as his most difficult opponent in recent years so he made sure everything was straight up an even level playing field before actually getting in the ring against him
So are you saying he didn't take the other fighters serious? Fam, at the end of the day Manny can walk away and people will call him P4P and will say he is better than Floyd. Floyd can't do that. If he walks away he will be mentioned but people will always say, "But he didn't fight Pacquiao."
Pac can get knocked out from here on out but people will still love him. Why? He is humble, comes off as a family man, down to earth, an approachable guy, a person interested in helping his people/country, a pious man and stand up guy.
Now look at Floyd. Referring to himself in 3rd person every 4 seconds, beating up his baby momma in front of his kids, flashing on guards, can't be approached, flashing his money all day (and I got no problem with him living and eating he earned every penny of it) and seen as a low life.
Because of the way he conducts himself as a human being Floyd can take
one loss and his career and legacy are tarnished. However, it won't be done/over and he will still go down as "a great" but he will not be "THE GREAT." Manny can be Glass Joe from here until Jesus comes back and guess what? People will still love him.
Floyd HATES that shit.
