Does anyone here actually think Pacquaio would beat Mayweather Jr. p4p?

[JT Rock]

also you say pbf if he would of stayed at super featherweight he would of cleaned up beating mab em pac and jmm, pbf doesn't have the balls to fight all of them, pac does, and pac has proved that. pbf would never stay at one division, he only jumps weights to beat chumps and collect a....b....c titles. thats how you stay undefeated........handpicking. and thats how you fool foolish fans thinking your so good when fact is YOUR ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR OPPENENTS.

Yea you got Floyd pegged on this one yep no ballz at all... I guess the fact that he will have made 18 million dollars within this 6 month period Nov06-May07 and is the linear undefeated undisputed Welterweight Champion of the world and is fighting Oscar Delahoya for his Junior Middleweight title is not a reason to climb towards bigger and better things.. Not to mention Floyd is just entering the prime of his career.

The thing people forget is that Mayweather can stand toe to toe... If you want a relentless puncher look at Philip Ndou, of course he doesn't have the skill of Pacquaio, but he hit harder(not p4p), and he had just as high or higher a work rate. Mayweather destroyed him in the pocket. Pacquaio isn't a relentless fighter anymore... He does come forward all alot, but not always throw punches, and that makes openings for the fastest fighter on the planet. Mayweather can fight on the inside, or on the outside, he can take a punch, he has a terific jab, hook, cross, uppercut, and the best stamina in the business. Some might say that he doesn't have the power, but he kept Baldomir far more honest than any of us expected with his power, and he kept Gatti honest, and even Castillo in their second fight. Castillo is another relentless guy who comes forward, and he has a better chin than Pacquaio by far along with good head movement, and the first fight Mayweather had broken ribs and a torn rotator cuff and he still won the fight. I am not saying Pacquaio is good, but I see him getting a complete beat down by Mayweather, Whitaker, Judah, super featherweight ODLH, Mosley, Duran, maybe even Corrales, and definitely Casamayor. So to compare him to Mayweather p4p is absurd to me.

Good analysis. Still I reserve my judgement after the ODLH fight. By the way, I think he lost the first fight with Castillo IMO. Did you mean the second which in my opinion he convincingly won?

Yeah I believe he won the second won convincingly, and I thought he won the first one simply because he was landing way harder, and cleaner shots... Castillo landed more shots but most of them were while the two were tied up or the occasional right hand getting through. Two other fighters I didn't mention that Mayweather fought are Jesus Chavez, and Emanuel Burton. He also fought Henry Bruseles(yawn), and more impressively Demarcus Corley in close. My point is that Mayweather is a far more rounded fighter than Pacquaio, and a better athlete with a better chin.

One thing Floyd is not over Pac is a better athlete. Floyd is obviously the much sounder technical fighter. As it stands right now...Pac must be ranked higher than Floyd simply because his resume is much more impressive. He has fought 3 GREAT fighters in Morales, Barrera, and Marquez. As far as i'm concerned, Floyd has not fought one great fighter (and that includes Castillo). Does any of this mean that if Floyd and Pac fought...Floyd wouldn't win? No. But at least Pac can back up his pound for pound status with fights against great opposition.

Sure. Pac deserves to be top 3 P4P, but not number #1. Pac simply hasn't done enough yet. Pac hasn't proved that he can span weight classes and still be effective against championship level competition. Floyd is attempting his fifth weight class in May and he has fought championship level competiton in each weight class. As a boxer, he is miles ahead of Pac. People forget that actually boxing skills matter in determining P4P and no one can say that Floyd isn't the best boxer in the world. No one has his skills, but if Pac can move up to 135 and clean out that division, then "Who's #1 P4P?" becomes a valid conversation.

pac started out as a flyweight and is now a superfeather, while moving on these weight classes, he won a couple of world titles and demolishes all the great and future hall of famers in the featherweight division. imo, pac deserves #1 p4p consideration.

Yo JTRock, if Floyd is just entering his prime now, then why is he retiring now. I'm a huge fan of Floyd's but him retiring pisses me off. I've supported him so much and he cheats me by pulling a Barry Sanders. I want to see Floyd vs Cotto, Margarito, Judah 2, Williams, etc. Definitely interesting to imagine a fight between those two, but the question is who beats who on the P4P rankings...right? or was the question worded incorrectly.

[RozzySean]

As much as I don't like Floyd for his sissy career management and as much as I like Pacman for his style and resume, I can't see Pac getting to Floyd at all. Pac is a huge puncher at 130, but I think that at that higher weights, Floyd has survived harder hitters than Pac. I give Pac an edge in heart, but that's about it.

[JT Rock]

Haha!!! well if it isn't my anonymous sad clicker who has 0 ballz and thinks I don't know who he is

[JT Rock]

Yo JTRock, if Floyd is just entering his prime now, then why is he retiring now.

Well your prime is your prime regardless if you continue your career or not... I doubt Floyd is retireing though, this is just to generate more interest and appeal to his showdown with Delahoya as it being his self-proclaimed last fight

Oscar is just a colossal pay day and both him and Floyd will work every last angle and squeeze every last dime out of this fight from a marketing standpoint...

Floyd will be around for quite a few more years after Delahoya

[babyboNe]

also you say pbf if he would of stayed at super featherweight he would of cleaned up beating mab em pac and jmm, pbf doesn't have the balls to fight all of them, pac does, and pac has proved that. pbf would never stay at one division, he only jumps weights to beat chumps and collect a....b....c titles. thats how you stay undefeated........handpicking. and thats how you fool foolish fans thinking your so good when fact is YOUR ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR OPPENENTS.

Yea you got Floyd pegged on this one yep no ballz at all...

Not to mention Floyd is just entering the prime of his career.

first of i said he doens't have the balls to fight them all, just like he didn't have to balls to shut his mouth and just fight a interesting challenge from a champion margarito. or how he kept jumping division to fight chumps and collect abc titles, pbf has never clean out a division unlike pac, pac took on the best asap at featherweights. pbf has always left out atleast very interesting fights in division to move up and just fight another chump. pbf has wasted many oppurtunity to be fighting someone hype instead he waste his times to fight another tune up to secure his undefeated record. pbf is a very low risk fighter. as a fighter low risk means less balls or noun at all. unlike a warrior.

no you say pbf is actually just entering his prime, pbf look way better in the lower weight class, pbf has slowed down actually. watch the baldomir fight he wasn't as fast and as defensive as he use to be.

bigger better things you mean bigger pay lower risk right? pbf is all about money not beating the best challenge possible.

[babyboNe]

Hahah!!! well if it isint my anonmoyus sad clicker who has 0 ballz and thinks I dont know who he is

+428 is on me, so don't you go thinking i'm like that. because i hate them no balls bastards too, my sad clicks always goes up without me knowing who because yea they are punks don't say a thing and just sad click you. i hate that.

#134 in return

As much as I would like to say Manny cleans Floyd's clock fact of the matter is Floyd punishes him with speed,,combos and his footwork never gives Manny a chance to corner him

I'll say it again like I said it before... Floyd is still young and I dont blame him for maximizing his earning early on, boxing is a cruel sport that has left many desolate in there lives when there career is over, injury and tragedy can strike at anytime... I honestly believe that Floyds been waiting for this moment his whole career and will be his biggest payday by far, all this retirement talk is just to cause a dramatic storyline to add another profitable angle to this fight..... After this there are many directions he can go... Guys gotta stop being so friggin critical

[bigragu]

no..no...and HELL NO!!!! Pac couldn't carry PBF's jockstrap......

[ono]

Since people are talking about Pacquaio being better than Mayweather do you guys actually think if they were the same size that Pacquaio would stand a chance? Despite weighing more Mayweather is still much faster, is able to keep a guy naturally 190 pounds off of him, and he has the best technique in over a decade if not ever. I am confused how a guy as open as open defensively as Pacquaio would present any sort of trouble for PBF. Do you incorporate excitement, and enjoyment factors into the equation? Because I don't see what all the hype is about... Pacquaio is good, but he has far too many holes to be number 1 or 2 p4p.

No i think Mayweather would win.....but it's the stoppage wins over Barrera and Morales that put him up there. Barrera and Morales are probably bigger wins than any of Mayweathers.

[ono]

The thing people forget is that Mayweather can stand toe to toe... If you want a relentless puncher look at Philip Ndou, of course he doesn't have the skill of Pacquaio, but he hit harder(not p4p), and he had just as high or higher a work rate.

Mayweather doens't seem to be cleaning out any divisions. Not at 140 or 147. Not at 154 either. The argument for Pacman is simple...

The wins over Barrera and Morales and the draw with Marquez propell him upto the top 3. Those 3 fighters are greater than any of the opponents Mayweather has fought. The one Mayweather opponent you could consider as close to great is Castillo and no matter what the record says, most nuetral fans would agree that castillo won that fight byabout 3 or 4 rounds. Mayweather's body language at the end of that fight suggests that he knew he lost. I know he went on to beat castillo in the rematch (and he did, quite easily), wins over Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Mitchell just don't compare to stoppage wins over future greats Barrera and Morales. He's not stuck around in a division for long enough to truly domintate it. If he did, there would be wins over Casamayor, Hatton, Cotto and even Margarito on his record. Even if there is the great possibilty of him beating all 4 of these guys, he hasn't fought them and there is arguments suggesting that each of these guys stand more of a chance than any of his past opponents. I also believe the fact that Mayweather hasn't fought outside of his homeland is possibly a factor. Pacman has on numerous occassions. As has Winky Wright. I believe the ability to perform away from home is a factor when determing how great a fighter is.

As for saying that Pacman has not moved up in weight and cleared up is irrelevant because Mayweather has only ever 'cleared up' at super feather. Also a fighter with an all action style like Pacman would be advised not to move up through the weights as eventually he will run into a fighter who is too big and strong for him. Mayweather's style allows him to move up the weights mainly because he is so effective at making size and strength become less of a factor. His technical ability allows him to move up and down a number of weight divisions, but the minute he engages with a bigger, stronger, harder hitting fighter could spell trouble in the same way it would for Pacman if he engaged in an all out brawl with a Welter weight.

For the record i do believe Mayweather is light years ahead of ANYBODY when it comes to technical ability. And i do actually think he could 'hang' with the likes of Leanord, Duran etc...

But i can see the argument for having Pacman in the top 3.....based on what i have posted above.
