Hypothetical: Could PBF beat Pac?

[SigmaMu]

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?

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.

[Gandalf]

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

I really, really think PBF could beat Manny Pac.

I am not saying Pacquiao won't have problems with Floyd, but Corely was landing a lot of shots on Floyd not jsut the right hook ,and Manny has a good right hook. ALso in what way is Judah a lot bigger than Pacquiao he weighed in at about hte same size against Floyd as Pacquiao did against OScar. Their speed is pretty even, Judah doesn't have great power, its good, but I wouldn't say its significantly better than Pacman's if at all, he might have more power but, Manny has that ability hurt guys. I don't Manny is one of the guys who would have a lot of trouble with pure backwards movement, he is too good at improvising, I think he is very used to guys moving away from him which is why he sets up his cross so well with his right jab. He has more trouble with guys like Marquez who fake going back then come forward quickly and don't give Pacquiao the space to really get off his loaded cross which takes a lot of room to get off. All in all IMO its the speed that will be the biggest factor. Judah is extremely fast but he doesn't fights in spurts, and its different. Manny is more like Calzaghe in that his style has so much energy too it, he's in and out all the time, he throws a lot of punches(he replaces numbers a bit with more power) and he can do it for 12 rounds. Not only that but you hit him and he loves it and wants to hit you back. IMO he could overwhelm Mayweather who would prefer to not get hit than to counter you. I think it was the mexican in Marquez as much as his technical and physical gifts that made him so tough for Manny because he would take a punch to land a punch whereas Floyd will do it from time to time, but its not in his nature as much as it used to be at 130 and 135. You put that Floyd in with Pacquiao and he would destroy Manny, but now he far less aggressive, less combinations, less lateral movement, a lot more defense.

Judah trained with Floyd during the Olympic tryouts to my knowledge, and when Mayweather was lighter he used to kick the shit out of Judah, but up at welterweight he slowed down quite a bit.

[Nameless]

Floyd could win that one, no doubt about it. However, I could see Pacman just ramming him and with his super stamina and relentless punching create some damage, I remember the first FLoyd-Castillo and Castillo should have won, really. The second fight, Floyd won it but it was not a loopsided decision at all, it was a competitive fight, based on that and seeing how Oscar was close (in my opinion) to a draw, I could see arguments why Manny could make it as well, especially that he has the power bombs and the chaining punches to make it true. Well, it could go in both direction depending of the tempo of the fame, let's only hope we'll see it someday.

[Taeth]

How was Mayweather Oscar close to a draw? At the very least Mayweather won by 4 rounds... and Oscar couldn't land anything. Castillo fought a close fight with Mayweather that could have gone either way, I ahve Mayweather winning it, but its valid to see JLC winning it, the second fight Floyd clearly won by a few rounds, and neither Oscar nor JLC fight like Pacman.

Mayweather-Judah was competitive for like 4 rounds. Whoa! Corley landed like one big shot against Mayweather. And like 4 or 5 other good shots in the 4th round. Other than that he was dominated. As for Sanders? Some how I don't think Mayweather is the same fighter he was in his 2nd pro fight. I think he might of improved a little since than. Just when I thought i read it all. Why not just bring up Pac's early ko loses and use that as prooof that he's weak in the body?

You are argueing with me about Floyd even though you clearly haven't seen Mayweather-Corley or else you would know Corley landed more than one big shot, maybe you should actually watch that fight before you make comments. I am not saying Judah almost won against Mayweather, but when he threw punches Mayweather certainly wasn't landing anything, and Judah landed that left cross almost whenever he threw it which wasn't enough. Sanders landed like 50% on Mayweather, 2nd fight or not Sanders was terrible and after that fight Floyd Snr said Mayweather wouldn't fight another southpaw as a pro, and he didn't until Corley becauase his defensive style doesn't work against southpaws.

Floyd is my favorite fighter in boxing, and second favorite all time behind Roy Jones jr, but I am not foolish enough to ignore the fact that he is bad against southpaws and he hasn't faced somebody as good as Pacquiao, he has faced Zab Judah who was as fast as Manny, but Zab doesn't throw punches, and he doesn't use movement, and he burns out mentally before half a fight is over. Him and Pacquiao are as different as night and day. Clearly we saw the speed difference between Manny and Oscar, and Oscar's speed made Floyd go on the defensive and Oscar was fast enough that Floyd was having a difficult time countering, I think him trying to counter Hatton or Oscar off the ropes and trying to counter Pacquiao are two completely different things. If Floyd stays on the ropes against Manny, he could be in a dire trouble. If he can keep the fight in the middle of the ring and keep on changing up the range between him and Pacman then he would likely win, maybe even dominate Manny.

Did Calzaghe land effectively on Hopkins? No, despite the fact that Hopkins landed almost all the clean, effective punches the judges still awarded the fight to Joe because of his higher workrate. Floyd could land all the good shots, but if Pacman throws a lot and makes Floyd look very defensive who knows how the fight will turn out. Floyd only got a split decision against Oscar even though he should have won nearly every round through good defense and clean effective punching.

[Dizaster]

It's symantics, but to do the subject justice, I think it should be hypothetically, "Could Pac beat PBF?"

I agree with Violent Demise on the Corley-Mayweather fight. I just dusted it off the shelf and it was only one big shot and that was pretty much it for Corley. Mayweather won that fight easy. Look, Pac is riding high right now, but Mayweather against the smaller Pac Man right now would be like child abuse. Mayweather can adjust in the middle of fights and he has never shown stamina issues. My money goes on Mayweather, though I cannot stand him and love Pac Man.

yea Corley hit Floyd. but Floyd adapted and won the fight easily, and people tend to play down Corley's power, he can punch, Oscar Larios gave Pacquiao fits, and made it a competitive fight, it wasn't really lopsided like the scores may imply, i had Manny winning i think 8 rounds to 4 (plus the knockdowns, and remember Larios tends to be chinny) , and a lot of the rounds were hard fought rounds so it's not like Manny is untouchable

My question is how do Mosley and Cotto pose more difficult tasks for Mayweather? Mosley throws combinations, but these days their are more like Calzaghe's combinations and less like the ones Shane threw as a lightweight. He doesn't fight at the same speed as his body moves at which was evident against Cotto who beat him to the punch repeatedly. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter, but he has slow movement and Mayweather is Zab Judah or Paulie, he is a lot harder to hit, and he hits a lot harder than Paulie. We saw Floyd take Baldomir out of their fight in the first 4 rounds because its so frustrating to fight him, while Baldomir never lost hope against Judah because if you keep coming Zab will eventually fold. Once Mayweather doesn't use his tradional defense against southpaws, he has more of a peak-a-boo defense and Zab was able to split his guard with the left hand at will, not only that but Floyd is very squared up against southpaws so its easier for Pacquiao to land his right hook as well.

Cotto and Mosley are REAL welterweights, and Cotto is in his prime, Manny can't even really be ranked or judged how he'll do at welter when he hasn't fought a live welter, he fought a weight drained shot DLH, it's not even a question on how the DLH that fought Quartey would have done against Manny, he would have put a gruesome beating on him, but time passes and that's not the fighter that was in the ring December, i think Manny can make the fight with Mayweather interesting, but if it happenes at 147 (where it most likely will) i think Mayweathers footspeed, power, and skill will be too much and he'll make Pacquiao look ordinary

Watching just the 4th round of Mayweather-Corley on YouTube doesn't count as watching the whole fight. Except for pockets of sucess Corley was dominated in the fight.

Not to mention the fact he was also cut for the first time in that fight. Sanders was far from good. But he still a vet. Like i told you If your going to reach that far bring everything back.
