Thread: Hypothetical: Could PBF beat Pac?

Why doesn't 1 come up a few pounds, and one come down a few, for this incredible matchup? Isn't it worth the 10 or 15 million they would each get? Hell I would lose or gain 25 pounds for that kind of pizza dough!

I think it would be a great fight. Could PBF take those straight left piercing down the middle lances that Pac seems to land at will?

At 147 PBF would flatten him. I highly doubt Floyd would fight at any other weight.

Its an interesting fight, its my belief Pacman is the closest person because of his offensive skills, being southpaw, and speed to beating Mayweather. However, if Mayweather figures out his rhythym then Pacquiao is screwed. I mean Marquez very quick and a good counter puncher, but he totally figured out how to nullify much of what Pacman is so successful at. Mayweather is bigger than Marquez probably hits a little harder, and is faster if he adapts then Manny is as good as done at any weight class.

I tend to agree, at 147 Pac would be a bit of a sitting duck, minus the "sitting". Still, if it took PBF 6 full rounds to trounce a slow and utterly outclassed Arturo Gatti, I can't see Pac faring any worse against Floyd. Therefore it would be at worst a UD for Floyd, I can't see any KO there, what about you?

That has to be the worst comparison I have ever heard in my entire life! What does one thing have to do with another?

Lamotta beats SRL b/c Tommy Hearns was beat by Iran Barkley twice, and Margarito cheated!

Glad to have earned a notch on your "Worst Comparisons I Ever Heard" list!

Exagerated a bit but funny

PBF would beat Pac with clean and effecive counter punching.

It would be also kinda interesting to see Pac try to land those straight lefts against Floyd's peek-a-boo defense and rolling shoulder. He could actually make Pac miss nearly every shot, as I never saw Pac throw super-wide shots that, oddly, have a better chance of catching Floyd than straight predictable ones.

Pac would have to jump on him early like the 3 knockdown thing with Marquez, or if it goes into the middle to late rounds, Floyd would take him into deep waters. I don't think Pac would ever have to expend so much energy in any other fight than in a fight with Floyd.

Pac may just run out of gas by the 8th round, if Floyd decided to dance for the 1st 24 minutes and pot-shot.

Mayweather will make Pac run into all 4 corners before giving him a brutal KO

We already seen what PacMan could do to ODLH that Floyd was unable to do.
We have yet to see what PacMan can do to Hatton and I hope PacMan beats Hatton down in 6 and again shows PBF how to beat a man.

But styles make fights and I think that PACMAN should he win, should stay at the 140 level for a minute and see if he can force PBF down. Right now Pacman is still on top and is considered the P4P champion and not PBF so, Floyd wont have the upper hand any more, Floyd if he wants to beat the new P4P champion, he will have to move down, but who knows, stranger things have happend and it looks as though everyone including myself is over looking Hatton. I can't wait for this to be over so we can move on and I do hope that the fans get their moneys worth and I believe it shall be so. Floyd at a higher weight class is so boring.

Seriously I don't understand why people think Mayweather-Pacquaio would even be competitive. I don't see Pac even beating the Manchester fag Ricky Hatton

Watch Mayweather-Judah then get back to me. When Judah threw punches Mayweather was completely defensive and didn't throw punches. I am not saying MAyweather wouldn't have adapted because he did, but Judah always drops his workrate when punches are being thrown at him which is what happened, Pacquiao wouldn't. Sanders, Corley, and Judah all were southpaw and all landed on Mayweather with ease compared to orthodox fighters, none of them are as offensively gifted as Pacquiao.

Another factor which is the same with Floyd fighting Marquez is that he doesn't use size but speed to win fights, and he's 32 and has been inactive for over a year. I think Cotto doesn't have the speed to catch Mayweather, and Mayweather just pot shot him all night and as the night wore on might even stop Cotto. I don't think Mosley can fight at a distance well enough to beat Mayweather, I can see him being a legitimate threat but I Think Mayweather stays away and once against pot shots against Mosley and is too quick and too slick for Mosley to deal with him.

Well, I think you are wrong on this one Taeth. With Corley, he presented a lot of problems for elite fighters because he throws that right hook a lot and so it sets up everything else. He almost had Cotto out on his feet. With Judah, Judah used to spar with PBF so he already knew much about PBF. People you spar with are difficult to deal with it. And plus, Judah does have great power that you have to respect. And he is extremely fast and a bigger guy than Pac. What people aren't saying is that Pac is the one who has never seen anything like PBF. How will he react!? Hell, Pac hasn't even fought an elite fighter who uses movement. And this fighter is the best at it and is bigger. Pac has more to be concerned about than PBF. He fights the guys who come straight forward. Everyone seen how well it went for Morales when he fought a decent fighter who used movement. He nearly got shut out by Zahir Raheem. Raheem said he had harder sparring partners. Marquez would pose more problems to PBF than Pac. Pac doesn't take on all styles so he would be in a new world from the jump. How about we try to figure out how Pac would deal with PBF. There is no comparison.

I know you are all awaiting my profound wisdom....well here you go.

I really, really think PBF could beat Manny Pac.
