"After 6 rounds, Manny will just be target practice" Said Bernard Hopkins.

Heck no Both of them are past their best PAC of 2008-2011 was a different monster and mayweather was I dont think holyfield is a superior fighter than tyson because 85-88 tyson was a different fighter

 

Hop, we know Hop. Floyd will solve him early, solve the feint straight left right hook and it's over.

 

they think Healthweather is fighting some bumatsch. PAC is going to overwhelm Healthweather in the first half and chop him down in the second half.

 

after 6 rounds? kind of a stupid argument because he implies floyd will win but if manny gets a knockdown in the first 6 it could be a razor thin fight

 

I agree

 

I disagree, after 3 rounds.

 

well, if that's the case then all i have to say is that Floyd will have to step it up like 5 levels because if he couldn't dominate Maidana, how is he going to pick apart Pacquiao? Pac is virtually better than maidana in every category - speed, experience, confidence, movement, boxing IQ, timing, accuracy etc... list goes on.

anything is possible but for it to be so easy as Hopkins claims it will ne, Floyd will have to take it up several notches....

people somehow think Floyd will be better against Pacquiao than he has looked in his last 5-10 fights or so.... So all of sudden, at 38, Floyd is going to be better than he has been in his last 10 or so fights against the most skilled boxer he has ever faced? kinda strange thinking...

 

Floyd will probably figure him out by rd4, and start to apply pressure by 6, so I agree with bhop

 

hopkins has brain damage from the kovalev beating.

 

if many people are not giving Pac a chance vs Floyd then why is this the biggest fight of our generation?

I think its a huge fight because Pac (along with Khan) is the only guy with the style to beat Floyd.

 

Why do you use maidana as a measuring stick for Floyd, when comparing for pac?
Maidana had a weight advantage and fights like a clubbing brute, while manny does not.
And Floyd has looked excellent in his last 10 fights - maybe so so in his last 2, but the others he fought very well.

 

pac may surprise people and actually win it easily... I mean, Floyd kinda struggled with Maidana and Maidana is a poor man's version of Pacquiao...

but anything can happen

 

No way is maidana "a poor mans version of manny"
They fight nothing a like.
Manny's hands are quick, his feet are quick, he has a bounce in and out style, doesn't come into fights with a 10+lb weight advantage, doesn't bully to the ropes, swing with crazy clubbing overhand rights, etc...

 

because Maidana is similar to Manny in many ways - very aggressive, never gets tired, throws combinations from awkward angles but actually has worse defense than Pacquiao. If Maidana had faster hands, faster footwork and had more overall skill, you would get Pacquiao.

Floyd also didn't look awesome vs Canelo or Guerrero or Cotto but he's going to toy with Pacquiao? i hear people talking about Floyd hurting Pac cause Pac has no defense. Well, did they watch the Maidana fight at all? Maidana basically charged Floyd for 12 rounds and didn't even worry about covering up, how often did Floyd hurt him? but he'll hurt Pacquiao? how so?

people are stretching it a bit, as if Pacquiao is Gatti or Hatton because many are talking about Floyd toying with Pac or even KO'ing him. We have to go way way back in time to see Floyd doing such things, when he was 10 years younger and when he faced inferior fighters as compared to Pacquiao (eg. Gatti).


just saying, a bit of a stretch...
