    Canelo-Pac would look very similar to Pac-ODLH come to think of it, without the stoppage.

    They both have that plodding style, both can unleash combinations on a still target. Pac will just dance circles around him same way he did with ODLH, left down the middle twist to the right. Canelo doesn't really cut off the ring all that well unlike someone like Margarito, Margo was a brawler who imposed his size to slowly cut off the ring, Canelo is a boxer puncher.

    The Pac I saw against Bradley will not be dancing circles. your were talking about a Pac in his prime and a sorry weight drained DLH.

    Canelo right now is 10 times better then that DLH, and the Pac back then is at least 2 times better then what he is now.

    I would give pac like 10-20% chance. but Canelo is very accurate and Pacquiao gets to brave sometimes. meaning he will get caught alot and get KO

    I give Pac a good chance to beat Canelo(no doubt the 2009 version will TKO Canelo). Pac will be too fast for Canelo, and Pac prefers taller opponent than him(as Pac camp admitted before).

    I think people overrate the weight different between them. If on fight night Pac came in at 150 and Alvarez at 170 I would expect Manny to win. When fights are even in technique 20 pounds is huge, but the difference would not overcome the technique difference between the two of them IMO.

    Again, we saw the blueprint for this fight in Margarito.

    Yup, exactly. I like to also to add that Pac is just too fast for Canelo.

    A prime Pac I would make it a 50/50 fight possibly leaning towards Pac this version 20 to 25%

    If the same Canelo that fought Mayweather shows up, Pacman will win 100% :smoke

    Even Kevin Iole admitted Pac fans are the worst.

    Kevin Iole has been a known ***** for years, i wouldnt take any of his opinions regarding Floyd or Pac serious . hes way too biased towards Mayweather.

    No he's not. You just see it that way because he has a different opinion than you. You should look int he mirror if you want to see bias.

    At 154, or at 152? Makes a big difference.

    I'm biased never said otherwise dumbass but if you think Iole isnt biased towards Floyd then either you havent followed his work for a long time, or maybe you just cant read properly which judging by your posts its probably both.

    Iole is like you the main differences is that hes way smarter than you and he gets paid to be a ***** while you dont.
