Floyd is only TBE at 130. From 135-154 hes beatable.

    its not a stretch at all. Most boxing fans without a bias favor duran at 135. Hes a terrible match-up for floyd. Even chavez and whittaker are

    At 140, Antonio Cervantes might give Floyd trouble. Bigger and longer than Floyd and a quick, skilled counterpuncher to boot.

    Chavez on his best night would be a handful.

    Whitaker is awful for Floyd, agree on that. Duran fought scrubs at 135 let's be real. Chavez is interesting though even though they never had common opponents, Floyd actually is bigger.

    Same for Floyd though. Cervantes cant rattle a birdcage.

    Cervantes had decent power. Floyd won't be hurting pambele either for that matter.

    Yet Floyd had Castillo on his back foot in the rematch with one hand.....

    if Duran fought scrubs at 135, who did floyd fight at that weight? He has a win over prime leonard at welterweight never forget that

    yeah i was debating on putting chavez or prime pac at 140. Chavez is less vulnerable to counterpunchers now that I think about it.

    i remember castillo being the agressor and landing the cleaner shots. He never KO'd castillo, zab, etc

    You type like you an uneducated rat.

    This is a hypothetical discussion, there’s many experienced boxing pundits that claim the 2009 version of Pacquiao would have been a problem for Mayweather. By the time they fought in 2015 Pacquiao had been ko’d by Marquez and beaten by Bradley, that was not his peak by a long shot.

    for real. They both give each other a hard time which is why this match-up in their primes gets talked about so much. Like pacquiao struggles with good counterpunchers ok. As if floyd dosent struggle with good brawlers/swarmers/pressure fighters? We all saw him struggle with castillo and maidana but of course theres an excuse for both. DLH didn't win but gave him a close fight (took 5 or 6 rounds imo). Funny enough, his own father thought DLH won. Don't understand why people are so emotional about this since at the end of the day, neither man will have an easy time

    A 38 year-old, clearly faded, and near retirement Floyd pot-shotted Pacquiao to an easy decision win and we are still arguing about how Manny would've done better against PBF at 140.

    What are you guys smoking?

    Pac has his moments and maybe even shakes Floyd up once or twice, but he can't deal with what that version of Floyd brought to the table, both defensively and offensively.

    It's still an 8-4 type of fight.
