    only way the two best Asian fighters will fight would be if GGG drops 2 weight classes which wont happen. If GGG goes down a weightclass it should only be to fight for a title aganst Floyd or Canelo.

    I think Pac's movements and angles would befuddle him, he would actually outbox GGG better than Floyd. Problem is his defence is leakier than Floyd so posssible he gets caught easier, more flush and earlier.

    But somebody mentioned GGG footwork and stance is similar to that of ODLH, I agree, they both sort of plod forward positioning themselves. Not great for a guy like Pac who is using so much lateral movement and a lot of a foot speed.

    Its more realistic than Pac fighting GGG. Neither should happen though.

    Pacquiao is too small, period. He wouldn't last. All these people talking about his movement would trouble GGG are kidding themselves. Golovkin's punches don't even have to land clean. I'd be surprised if Pacquiao lasts 3 rounds. Mayweather would last 8 or 9, in my opinion, and that's being generous.

    Pac is too small for GGG.

    Pac has faded. Think he loses badly to GGG. However, still think Pac would beat the brakes off Gayweather.

    This is why people bad mouth PacFans the way they do. 2009 Pac could beat GGG? What's wrong with you? The same Pac that took all that damage vs Cotto and a ruptured ear drum vs Margarito is going to beat GGG? The nerve man.

    If anyone fights people with disadvantages it's Pac, you and I both know that. Or at least you should. The only person Pac "crushed" who was bigger than him was Margarito. Who was so far passed his best, without wraps and off Mosley decapitation.

    Lol 2009 Pac beats GGG.

    How about instead of Pacquiao moving up 2 weight classes to an obvious disadvantage, GGG move up just 1 and fight Ward? Sound good?

    Funny how some people forget Pacquiao's stipulations but run around screaming "pillows" and "drainelo".

    Floyd was a two time 154 champ and lineal. He would only go up 1 division or they could fight at 157/158 catchweight. It would be just his 6th weight division where as it would pac's 9th weight division.
