Could Pacquiao have ever beaten Floyd?

Literally the only thing you are right about is that PBF has faster reflexes, which will help him.

All the rest you are just completely wrong about to the point where further debating it is just pointless.
Id tell you to watch some fight sequences back to back and compare it but you obviously just see what you want to see.

Its like talking evolution to a fundamentalist christian.

 

He'd have had a far better shot than anyone else of the era. You just can't give Floyd any time to think and you need to go at him with a multi-faceted, unorthodox kind of offense. Tricky angles.

Still, Floyd probably would have won I guess...*sigh*

An '09 fight would have been absolutely amazing to see though.

 

the real question is, if they do fight and Floyd gives him a boxing lesson and wins wide UD or even a stoppage, will YOU GUYS give Floyd the credit? Or will it simply be another guy y'all built up to beat Floyd but once they lose, they're all of a sudden bums?

 

I think Pacquiao's hands and feet are a little faster than Mayweather's. Pacquiao vs Mayweather is still a very good fight! Personally, I think Mayweather could have lost on the cards back in 2010(if it was a close fight), because Pacquiao had the momentum. This is still a very interesting fight, and one that I hope we get to see.

 

pacquiaos movement is very wasteful. where was it when old marquez and morales were beating him up

 

Its boxing. Anything can happen. But, no.

 

hell no.

 

Pacman has very little defense and has the hardest time with accurate counterpunchers. If he thinks he was in hell fighting a technician like Marquez, he'd be seeing the lights at MGM on his back if he decided to get in the ring with Floyd.

Unless he nails him with a lottery, 1 in a million knockout punch he's either getting a serious 1 sided beatdown in a UD or he's getting KTFO at whatever moment he decides to lunge in, which is basically every round. His defense is too subpar for a guy whose as accurate as FLoyd. He'd pick him apart and box his ears off worse than any fighter Pacman has ever faced.

 

Having "slightly" faster hands and feet mean very little when you don't know how to defend yourself and constantly keep your hands down for counterpunches to come straight at you. Every one of Pacman's fans talks about his handspeed and footspeed. How about all the other boxing traits where Floyd is CLEARLY superior to him in?

marquez gave him hell for 4 fights, FLoyd would only need 1 fight for him as there would be no dispute on who'd win their matchup. I favored Mayweather in 09 about 65-35, now I favor him about 85-15%. And that's being generous. Let's see how he looks first against Rios, that KO from JMM might've taken something out of him (hopefully not though.)

 

PAC in 09 and 2010 had a fair chance. I gave him. 35% chance, after that it just went down. Today he has about a 15% chance

 

So why would not every athelete behave like floyd when it comes to testing if they can all hide it... Why would someone turn it down?

 

When are you gonna go and knock on Floyds front door and tell him he ain't got nothing to worry about, surely you can convince him, after all, you do know what you are talking about

Pimp C walks a 1000 mile barefoot pilgrimage to Floyd's front door, knocks on door, some twat called lil wayne opens it and shouts hey floyd we got some fukin weirdo here that's had a vision of you crushing Pacquiao & that you have nothing to fear! Floyd screams at LIL Wayne, set the dogs on the kunt, don't these fukers ever listen, I'm in the check cashing business, max reward minimum risk and legacy don't pay the bills.

How dare these fanboys put my money making health at risk, fukem, lets go on vacation to get away from these crazies, and get me Amir Khan's phone number, we got work to do biggin this chump up as a clear and present danger.

So after the dogs have chewed pimps ass for an hour. Floyd says....Pimp...you are indeed a disciple so I shall bless you and baptize you, now open yer gob and receive this steam of holy ****...Pimp guzzles like a man who wishes it could never end. Go away with this mission and this gutfull of **** and spread the word that Khan is a threat. If you love me like you do then you'll understand it's all about the money. Pimp screams and weeps, I OBEY! I OBEY! yes master! I now see the true path of enlightenment! Pimp staggers away weeping with joy realising that being pissed on ain't have as good as swallowing it.

 

Because it costs more money, its a big burden on other athletes.
More expensive masking agents, more expensive designer drugs.

All these things are irrelevant to Floyd so it gives him a edge + it gives him positive publicity because naive people believe him.

Think about it... even someone like Lance Armstrong never tested positive for anything and he was a walking pharmaceutical storage.

If as a athlete you know people will do anything to have a edge, and its so easy to pass almost any test..... why would you even risk to stay clean?
Just because its "fair"?

Literally the only people that get caught are people that took something different than they thought they were taking, or they messed up their clearance timing.

 

Excellent post! :good

 

No.

He would have bunny-hopped into countless missed lunging flurries and been countered silly.
