    Thoughts?

    Can Pacquiao even last long enough against Golovkin to have a shot at winning more rounds than he did against Floyd?

    Assume the fight were to take place at 154 or 153.

    Pacquiao would last two rounds at the most. Maybe three. (not win them, just survive them) I love Pacquiao, but this matchup for him would give me nightmares.

    no. difference in strength, power and reach is too great. jumping in and out would not work against someone who doesnt fear your punches and can cover so much ground on your retreat.

    Roach would have to taser GGG from the corner for Pacquiao to go beyond two. That still might not work.

    Would GGG run and hug Manny almost the entire fight as well as tugging at his injured arm when he hugs Manny?

    He just needs Kenny Bayless as the ref so he can hug Golovkin for 12 rounds without any consequences and since no punches will be thrown - he gets a draw.

    You cannot judge anything from May 2 Pacquaio was not 100 % by far & Floyd fought scared. It was a pantomime not a fight

    Do you think Pac could win 2 or 3 rounds against Golovkin? Maybe 3 or 4? Maybe more? Maybe less?

    If he's 100 % physically he might last to 4 or 5. Now you say how many rounds would Floyd last??? damn Floyd would run faster than Usain Bolt:patsch

    At 154? Pac will get brutalized after some good exchanges in the early rounds.
    If people want to see a competitive fight this should be done at maybe 150.
