Who Can Beat Pacquiao?

Jorge Linares

 

NO QUESTION!! Charlie Zivic. He could trim to Jr. welter and dazzle Pac with his left.

 

Only a defensive specialist with as much speed to match Pacquiao and with an excellent boxing mind could stand a chance.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is that man.

I'm not saying Pretty Boy's would whoop him or even beat him. But this day and age, he is the only fighter who has at least a 50-50 chance.

 

you still believe this ****?

i hope pac decides to face bradley just for the sake of proving 'skillset' guys wrong.

 

Don't know why the public's clamoring for PBF or JMM against Pac, when Charlie Zivic would be the biggest PPV.

The Zivic Express is pickin' up steam.

 

I think he might do that as well, i'm not sure he can beat pacquiao just by countering him all night because as you say pacs workrate will impress the judges. I think floyd if he fought him would be quite aggressive when he needed to be, he look to draw manny on to the straight right a lot and follow that up more than he has been recently. Mayweather generally speaking when he is facing a man of similar physical stature is a far more aggressive fighter and we have still to see manny chin truly tested by a bigger man.

Thats the fight that needs to happen, the legacy fight for both men

 

who is Zivic never heard of him.

 

i think Moorer can be good fr Pac as he is a switched on guy and takes in everything Roach says. But i do think Roach has afew years of still being able to train Pac but he might have to stop the pad work etc.. but i think Moorer could take over that.

Do you mean like he loves fighting, obviously not the training side of it.

 

How so? Oscar De La Hoya clearly won there rematch back in 2003, Oscar never got embarrased in his prime TWICE by the same fighter...in fact Oscar in his prime only dropped very close decisions. So Moseley beat Margarito, big deal. Oscar would have beaten Margarito too last year if given the chance, Oscar took PBF to a split decision, and PBF is on a different level than margarito. Oscar has defintley proven himself the better head to head fighter, especially after watching the Moseley-Forrest fights where Sugar Shane proved he could not adapt.

Actually pac would overwhelm him. At 37, moseleys speed is not what it used to be, and manny that naturally lighter fighter is defintley going to be faster.

Oscar was always the harder puncher than Moseley

 

Downslide?? Marquez looked sensational in his knockout of Juan Diaz! JMM looks sharp & will give Pac a great fight in Marquez-Pacquaio III.

 

I disagree that Oscar clearly won the rematch. I thought Mosely won both fights with Oscar. Shane Mosely is a pretty big puncher and I also disagree that De La Hoya punched harder. I recall Oscar fighting a lot of distance fights.

The question of this post was who can beat Pacquiao? I listed a prime Mayweather. I didn't pick Mosely but I do think Mosely is too big for Manny . I just don't think the fight will happen. Oscar should have been too big for Manny but he was completely shot and couldn't pull the trigger. Based on what I've seen recently, Mosely isn't shot.

 

p.s. You're just picking and choosing. Forrest obviously had Mosely's number. I'd hardly call the fights embarassing though. Mosely never got stopped by a body shot. De La Hoya had the Tito fight in the bag but chose to run the last 4 rounds.
