    Thats a bit much, I dont think hes anywhere near Floyd in speed right now. Maybe he could have matched him back in 2009. But hes not as fast now, and was never as accurate.

    Of course not, the reason the whole world wanted to see that fight so much was because they knew how easy and one-sided it would be.

    I'm a certified ******* cause I jack on his pictures but the Pac that has a chance in making it a close fight was the Pac of Cotto/De La Homo fight. The rest version of Pac is totally hopeless... Even that best version of Pac is still the underdog against any version of Floyd..

    Was mostly talking prime for prime, right now he can still match the speed though i think.
    If not it is close.

    JMM is slower and has less power then Pac, the speed increase that Pac would bring to the table alone would make it a better fight than JMM. Styles make fights.

    Judah was out speeding Mayweather, and looking at footage closely a prime Pac and even a Pac from a few years ago had more raw speed than a Judah even.

    Difference being Pac could keep it up for 12 and not gass after 4.

    Mayweather having superior skills and defense though.
    I would still put Mayweather as the favorite but people thinking just because Mayweather is a counter puncher he would win easily are the dumbest fans around.

    They think anything Marquez does, Mayweather can do better and that is just ignorant as the style of counter punching is completely different.

    No he's too small, too reckless, too flawed, too limited to beat PBF. PBF is a complete fighter and is light years more skilled.:deal Pac would look lost in the ring get outboxed and beat up.

    Wrong he's not faster than PBF he doesn't have better reflexes he can't beat PBF to the punch. PBF can get off first on him all day. Pac throws combos faster but that's it. He's no way in hell faster than PBF.

    No chance whatsoever. Danny Garcia would knock him out. Lets see how he does with Rios . Floyd beats PAC with one arm only.
