    The Pacquiao from JMM 4 could be, if he could sustain that kind of movement. But who knows where he's at right now.

    Yes. People can say what they want, but Manny has the footwork, awkward style, power in both hands, boxing skills (gasp), speed, and toughness to pressure Mayweather into a defeat.

    this is the beautiful sport of boxing, and even the most unlikely scenarios are possible, for example, if Manny hit Floyd with the same shot he hit Hatton with, he would take his '0', even though it's highly unlikely, it's still possible

    I think so... We need to see how he deals with Rios. If he is the same is still a threat.

    Pac has slowed down tremendously he gets a boxing lesson from Money,the different levels in skills is just too wide.

    Yes. The Pac from the 4th fight with Juan seemed like the 2009 Manny. The whirlwind of power and speed.

    Manny is a threat to Floyds 0

    100% agree. People can say all they want, but Manny was in full control and about to knock out jmm before he went to sleep. Thats why boxing is so bad ass! Anything can happen!!

    Floyd said it himself "My health comes first...."

    A motivated Pac has the speed and the chin to trouble May, IMO. I'm not saying it would be an easy victory for Pac but it would be interesting to see how May would react to Pac's speed, power, and movement.

    Floyd called himself a rich coward so he knows pac is a threat and he's been ducking

    Would still like to see the fight, hope Pac can win his next fight and they set it up.
