    Freddie Roach is talking about a possible future fight between Mayweather, and Pac at a catch weight between 140, and 147. How do you think Pacman would do?

    Pac would have to b very well conditioned or else he gets blown away easily. If it lasts 12 rnds he loses by decision. He will use his speed and power, his greater assests.:good

    Floyd would beat pacquiao IMO, pac hits harder and is a southpaw that's about it for his advantages against floyd, mayweather faster both food speed and hand speed(if we're talking about floyd prime at 130), far more accurate, better defensively, pretty much the worst style of boxer that pac could face actually, he would take advantage of pac's defense and counter him a bit like marquez

    As for the original question, if pac floyd happened after oscar and mayweather was at the level he was before retiring he would beat pac handily, probably a late TKO

    Mayweather would beat the hell out of Manny for as long as it last. Marquez is not on PBF level when it comes to defense and counter punching and he gave Manny hell in both of their fights. Manny has no advantage over PBF. Floyd is faster, smarter, and just a better fighter period. Manny wouldn't win a single round vs PBF just not on Floyds level.

    it would be a great fight. but Pacman would get KO or lose a bad dicision. Mayweather is one of the greatest of all time, hw would figure out what Pacquiao was doing on 2 rounds then expoit it. if the fight was at 130 a couple of years ago Pacman would've got KO in 4 rounds top but since it would be at a catch weight from 140-147 he last a little bit longer.

    When you're considering prime for prime, you're considering the two at 130, which was by far Floyd's best weight. That Floyd would've given Pacquiao a boxing lesson and likely stopped him late. Pac wasn't in the same league as far as quickness, and was far less versatile.

    Not well. That match is tailor-made for Mayweather. If Pac beats Oscar (he won't), then this fight will happen, as Pac is less risk-higher reward for Floyd than Margarito. I would not want this fight to happen, it would not go well for Manny.

    PBF would give Pac a boxing lesson. No way in hell does he destroy PBF he's not faster nor does he punch hardrer either get a grip man. If Pac had hell with JMM and was getting outboxed WTF do you think PBF would do to him?:deal

    That fight would leave you a broke man. You may want to rewatch Pac vs. JMM and Floyd vs. Judah to give you a better idea of how this fight would go.
