Floyd would eat Pacman alive if they fought now

[Max Power]

I haven't seen the fight yet but I'm willing to bet that this talk of Pac slowing down to this degree is anti-hype. I'm leaning on the side he's being more cautious. And of course he is getting older but so is Floyd.

It's also true that Pac fights better opposition and more frequently too.

I think guys like Khan and Maidana are absolute push-overs compared to Pac so there's Floyd's justification for taking him on.

If Floyd could eat him then why doesn't he?

Pac, Manny and Top Ranks main sole goal is to get Pac in the ring with Floyd. He thinks he runs boxing! Just fight!

Floyd would beat Manny now and probably when Manny was at his best 2009 too.

100% agree and that is not taking anything away from Manny, he has provided some great fights, it's just that Floyd is just that good. I was saying that the whole fight tonight, Floyd would eat PAC man up. Bradley could have won tonight I think if he would've not become so one-dimensional and holding. I thought his holding cost him some rounds and maybe even a decision. It was the kind of holding that begs the judges to score against you. That said, PAC would get annihilated by Floyd then and especially now

[Max Power]

Yeah that's true Floyd vs Rios at this stage is a total joke and I don't think Pac could beat Canelo.

I guess it's pretty even overall.

Don't get me wrong, I think FLoyd vs Pac should happen now FOR SURE. Pac deserves it now after beating Bradley. It's just lost a lot of intrigue for me. In 2009, I figured that Floyd would be able to counter-punch and move his way to a victory. I FIGURED that, but the outcome was really up in the air. Now the outcome is crystal clear to me. But fuck it, let the fight happen.

No Offense but the" Pac deserve it now" line of reasoning that you have been touting for a while is seriously flawed. If you really think boxing is only about your last fight then there is no such thing as a legacy. Pacquiao has for many years now been THE MAN in and around the weight of Floyd that for whatever reason has not shared a ring with him. He has numerous belts and fought many common opponents both before and after Floyd. He did not need to do anything in this or any other fight in the last couple of years to EARN a shot at Floyd. He already made his point quite emphatically time after time and now he is on the downward slope of a pretty spectacular arc Floyd will be the undeserving one whose own legacy will be enhanced by finally fighting someone he should have faced years ago.

6 years since you figured. 6 years and a style which takes a lot out of a fighter and yet he still had to beat Bradley so convincingly to DESERVE a fight with Floyd ?

Listen, I'm up for discussing and arguing points about boxing, even if I don't agree with someone usually I can value their input if it's coming from some basis of knowledge, but it absolutely BOGGLES MY MIND how so many people don't understand that a career has ebbs and flows and that boxing is governed by a strange concept called RANKINGS, where if you win, you move up, and if you lose you move down. I don't get what people don't understand about that. Maybe that ignorance is just a product of a corrupt, money grubbing sport that has been shovelling garbage down boxing fan's throats for years. Maybe that's why guys get title shots coming off of losses and only a few people even bat an eye.

Pacman fights better opposition lol could you imagine what people would of said if floyd had faced rios lol it's ridiculous to even say floyd and rios is the same sentence.

[piye]

I think Canelo head to head beats Bradley so I don't think Pac fights better competition lets not forget that P4P is a mythical title and counts for nothing in the ring.

I mean a win for Floyd over a poor super middle would be harder than a win over the P4P number 3

[imp]

Ffs, pac has always deserved a fight with floyd but it wont happen with top rank!!!

Why has Floyd not fought Bradley?

[UnbiasedFan]

Why has Floyd not fought Bradley?

Top Rank that's why... Bob doesn't let his fighters fight outside of the stable.

Same can be said for GBP.
