I disagree. I have no boxing ability, but through smarts, theatrics and pure cowardice I am convinced I could survive the first round. I would no doubt go the way of Ricky Hatton in the second though as I would be knackered. At no point would I try to fight the first round like Ricky Hatton, but everyone would be booing me in my attempts at survival no matter what.Quote:

Seriously though. I'd just carbon copy Cotto and Clottey's game plan (defense wise) which is back pedal and hide behind guards all night to survive.
I really don't think anyone on this forum will last 3 minutes with Pacquiao in a 12 round fight with Pacquiao being instructed to take your head off.
Reminds me of this Married with Children Episode where Al Bundy tries to last 3 minutes with Big Bad Mama in order to win 10k and get out of Vegas.

;D
This kind of fits into this thread I guess..sugar vs shaq,lol.

As for fighting pac I'd piss on him and hope he gets so confused to get a good kick in on his balls...
Nail on head. He is talking as if Manny is just some run of the mill 'good fighter' - not arguable one of the greatest boxers of our generation. The fact he used to be a flyweight makes fuck all difference - as he has proved. He seems to think that because he isn't as big, he won't knock him out in a round. Crazy talk. The sheer volume of punches would have him out of there faster than you can say 'drug testing'.Quote:

Anyways ICB it's ridiculous. You couldn't run away, what good is your reach? You, nor any of us, have any sort of artillery that Pac would be remotely afraid of. You could try to assert your reach and you would be done for. Your best bet would be to not throw a single punch but this is a guy with more then 2 or 3 fictional amateur fights, he can cut off the ring and he can punch right through your guard. What does it matter if Clottey busted him up with single shots? Would you be able to throw single shots? No because as soon as you presented any opening, you are making life easy for the guy. You would be overwhelmed, this is ridiculous!
I can't believe I'm actually breaking down a fight between Pacquiao and someone who has never had a fight! UNREAL! Get a grip man, you're damaging your credibility far worse then I could have ever imagined. You can believe in yourself but you also have to be realistic.
Is there a way to have this moved the hidden board? It belongs there honestly, I can't say the things I want to say here.
It's even bad enough he is using Clottey as an example of how he could get shots in or to defend himself - Clottey, a former world champion. Jesus wept.
Hey man Jesus needs a good laugh sometimes too! I honestly didn't think anyone would bite on this thread.
Damn for some reason I miss this 1st post. ICB is saying that him fighting Pac would be a mismatch because of the size. So I'm going to assume he thinks he could spark Pacquiao in this post?;DQuote:

But P4P ? i think i could last quite a bit, because i am in pretty good shape, and i think i take a decent shot. And im also pretty young at 20.
And hang with Pacquiao p4p? Jesus Christ.:p
I'm just messing with you man. lol
You would shit your pants and faint just feeling his power on your arms. Serious.Quote:

Might look good on You Tube, but sure not worth the 50 dollars PPV.Quote:

I would last 30 seconds if I was very lucky. The guy is an amazing athlete and one of the greatest boxers of all time, he has one of the all time great trainers and has hand speed that is blinding to watch on TV so imagine what it's like if your stood 2 foot in front of him!!
These kind of fighters are one in a hundred million.
Its funny that this thread has come up actually because I was watching KOTV the other night and they had Michael Buffer on talking about the best KO he's ever seen and he said it was Jeff Fenech but it wasn't in the ring. It was some big dude who was trying to get clever and talking when he should have been listening basically and giving Jeff some shit, so Fenech just turned to him and banged him clean out lol.

I wish I had've made the thread title: "If you stepped into the ring with Mike Tyson in his prime..."
Would've loved to have seen ICB's answer then.
He would've probably claimed he plays tennis every Thursday so that entitles him to at least two rounds. ;D
