Pac isn't Duran. Pac isn't a stalker in the ring. Dapidran is an 'in and out' guy who can't fight inside who relies on his speed. If Pac ever tried to corner Floyd, PAc would be talking to people for the rest of his life through his ass lol.
Hopkins is a big mouth joke & he probably said this before Mayweather`s return anyway & I myself might have agreed then.... Pacquiao was undisputed no1 for good reason, he was doing the impossible in the ring... but FMJ is back & he is on a different level to everyone else, things have changed, you`ll see.
After what Floyd did to JMM this past weekend, I don't know how anyone can argue that Pac would beat him. The argument had some substance prior to this weekend because it was possible that PBF has ring rust and might be past his prime, but he proved the complete opposite, if anything he is in his prime (even if it was against a much smaller man). If he was able to land at will and easily counter a great defensive fighter and counterpuncher like JMM than I guarantee you he will have no problem hitting Pac. I do think though that Pac would give Floyd a much toupher fight than JMM did simply due to the fact that physically Pac has moved up in weight and devoloped into a true JWW/WW. He is just as strong as Floyd and is probably faster at 145. If the fight happened I would see Pac winning the first few rounds and possibly tagging Floyd and knocking him down but as the fight progressed (like with the Judah fight) Floyd would figure Pac out and adapt (just as JMM did against Pac) and dominate the rest of the fight on way to a UD. Pac may have the slight physical/athletic adavantage on Floyd but FLoyd has such a huge advantage skill wise that there is no way I could see Pac beating him.
Pac couldn't corner a guy as easy to hit as JMM how do you think he'll corner a vastly superior PBF?:deal
I was always told to be wary of fool's gold..Floyd's recent performance looked great, but Marquez really didn't stand a chance. I'm still going with Pac, just, though I might change my mind after the Cotto fight.
Pacs agressive style is not suited against a master counter-puncher, not to mention one that is bigger.
Mayweather jr by mid rounds stoppage ... I think the more Manny gets hit the more reckless he gets ... he doesn't have the boxing skill that Marquez or Mayweather has and doesn't know how to adjust to any style ... he just lunges in and his balance gets real poor_ This fight isn't even fair ...
Pac will never be able to beat Mayweather at any weight (that Floyd can make) because Pacquiao doesn't have the skill or smarts ... to even be competetive.
