    I know it's not his thing but i would love to see pac talk some trash especially to mayweather. That would make the fight a billion times interesting.

    Pacquiao NO. Probably like Floyd but not as defensive not run.

    Wild horses couldn't get Pac ta do that. I've seen him deliberately head-butted repeatedly, causing gapping wounds over both eyes, 'n asked him why he didn't retaliate: "I'm a sportsman."

    If Pac did that he'd be disowned by many Filipino fans. Trash talking, arrogance, are big no-nos in Filipino as well as East Asian cultures. It is the reason why many Filipinos don't like Nonito Donaire despite his brilliance in the ring. You can also guess why there are relatively few Floyd fans that are Asian.

    Skillwise and Technique.NO.I like Watching Floyd operate more.

    Can be borin coz he doesn't put on a show.

    Plays safe.

    Pac is not as good with his skillz but he's brawler/bruiser hurts opponents.

    I guess fans like that too.

    Assuming he wasn't taking a career in politics. If Pac had a very good defence and didn't engage in wars, he would not have clocked up as much miles as he has so far. He still looks a beast, yes, but this can't go on forever. Fights like the Margarito, Cotto and JMM ones, can take a heck of a lot out of you.

    But, if his defence was as good as I wish it was, he'd be a perfect fighting machine. And as we know, such a thing doesn't exist.

    I met donaire in dallas when i went to the hotel where pac and many of the fighters in that card stayed at. He seems like a nice guy and he took pictures with me and my friends as well as the many filipino's and other boxing fans that was at the hotel.

    He doesn't seem cocky to me. He seems like a nice guy and even in his interview after the fight. He seems very respectful. Same thing has been said about khan being cocky but he seems nice and respectful after the fight.

    But anyways i would still like to see pac talk a lil trash even if it sounds as funny as delahoya telling pacquiao "Im gonna knock you out":lol:

    What do you call PAC fighting Barerra, Marquez, and Morales....back to back to back. Well he did have a tune up between Marquez and Morales but that's close enough.

    I guess he is implying that those 3 Mexicans where not the best.
    He said it. Not me.

    :lol: Did you meet my 2 uncles and aunt then? Jimmy and Jun Regalado (close friends with Pac). They had drinks with Nonito and stayed at the same hotel. Yeah they said Nonito was really nice and gave them his business card. They saw his last fight as well in Anaheim and sat with Nonito's wife.

    if he would tighten up his defense then he's everything i want a fighter to be, but him getting hit a little bit by bigger men is also part of his charm and what makes his fights so exciting because you wonder how this little man can take punches from bigger men.
