    Would this be a freak show?

    The P4P king from many weights below vs the weakest middle weight. Pacman would be at less weight disadvantage than Haye v Valuev.

    I know it would never happen, but if it did how would it go?

    I'd give Pac a good shot..why not?

    Sturm is basic, and has no power. I doubt he punches as hard as Cotto.

    Way too much weight. I can't see Pacquiao weighing 160, he would have so much muscle, it would kill his speed. I don't see him being efficient.

    EDIT = I meant 154-160, not 160 :D.

    Could he not just come in around 140, not worry about his own weight, and still box the ears off Sturm?

    Oh wait sorry, not 160, but above 154 I mean. Still a lot of weight, but maybe he would make it fine.

    PAc would knock Sturm out if he were given time to gain the weight properly ala Jones-Ruiz.

    Pacquaio doesn't win and never will win on fantasy.

    An ordinary fighter like Dingaan Thobela won titles at 135 & 168, but Pacman is no ordinary fighter

    middleweights will be too big for pacquiao. 140 should be his last weight class. Even 147 i think is too big for the pacman.

    Day of the weigh in -- Sturm is 160lbs on the button --- what is the minimum weight I can come in with to make the fight legit -- ????

    felix sturm by knockout. before pacquiao gets the idea of fighting the middies he'd better take care of business vs. a big welterweight first!!!

    Too big.

    His jab is on a par with Manny's powershots.

    Apply that logic to Ruiz v Jones

    Not remotely comparable.


    Jones had close to the same power as Ruiz.

    Some would say more.


    Sturm moved Oscar's head more with his jabs than Maanny did with his powershots.




    I'm a fan of Pac, but we need to be reasonable.
