Beating Pacquiao at this stage is like beating a good Hall of Fame (HOF) fighter, but not one of the ATG HOF's (not THE Manny Pacquiao). But casual boxing fans and hardcore Mayweather fans are going to believe otherwise. We all know Pacquiao has looked slower and has been on the decline since 2010 (almost 5 years ago now, for a fighter who relies a lot on athletic abilities), and has had to change his gameplan accordingly in his recent fights. Athleticism is the first thing to decline, so Pacquiao has declined a lot faster than Floyd on a comparative scale. What we've seen from Floyd is that he looks as fast as ever. We saw that against Canelo and saw that again in this Maidana fight (Maidana was always going to be a tricky customer because of his rough style).
who else should he fight instead of pacman who would give the coward better recognition? come on name them
i am waiting name the names ? pac is holding the other belts at welter is known atg name the names come on then
Well, Asians don't really age that well in combat sports so it's Mannys fault for not pushing the fight when he had his youth.
He's a known ATG NAME but he's no longer the ATG he once was. Pacman will give Floyd the most recognition BUT I'm saying if Pac fights Floyd, we should realise he's past prime. People are gonna act like he's Manny Pacquiao of 2008 or something. I want to see the fight. Pacquiao, Khan, Thurman. Let's do this.
Floyd waiting for Pacquiao to show more decline on his fights. Cowardly. He knows fighters with the style and the greater, more action packed history with better names on his resume, will be declining FAST right now. Floyd is gonna have his little ducklings scream TBE, dumbasses everywhere.
We already knew he was a coward but trust me it could backfire on him he has not been looking great in his last outings :hey
He hasn't been looking great because he's simply not great when dealing with rough pressure fighters. We saw him in yesterdays fight with fast hands, fast feet - something people would have worried about looking at the first fight. He lost to Jose Luis Castillo in the first fight. He crying about his finger being bitten and that his whole hand got numb. Come on, how silly. I actually think Floyd would beat Thurman pretty easy (but a win against Thurman will do good for his resume as Thurman is going to prove himself in the division more), Khan will steal a few rounds until Floyd knocks him out on a counter right hand, Pacquiao is way too past prime to win the fight. Mayweather is not a boxer, the way he executes his style is a stain on boxing. At least Rigondeaux stays in punching range at all times.
