    “Manny is real fast, knows what he’s doing. I think it’s a situation where he could probably come out on top. It depends on which GGG shows up. Like if the old GGG shows up, Manny is in for a bad night. But if the GGG fought his last fight against [Sergiy] Derevyanchenko shows up, Manny would beat him."

    GGG is shot, but Pac beating him at 160 would be a gargantuan win.

    GGG would beat anyone Manny ever fought except maybe Floyd, but would probably knock him out easily too.

    Slow but hits like a truck.
    Manny has never been a defensive wizz - are we thinking Pac is going to not get hit by GGG for 12 rounds, unless GGG turns into Oscar over night I see Pac being left in hospital I can't even believe this is being talked about.
    Margarito barley touched him but Pac was still in bed for days after with sore ribs - -GGG hits harder than Antonio and his much bigger to start with.

    Pac would weigh no more than 150 on fight night. His speed is his biggest asset in this fight. At that weight he would be the fastest fighter ggg ever fought if he can get in an out with angles he would give ggg fits. My concern is his stamina we all know pac is one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing history early but what happens around round 7 when he slows down like he did against thurman? Ggg has pretty good stamina although he did look tired in the second half of his fight with chenko.

    I kept telling people "canelo vs Manny " let's make it happen. But what does Manny do? He one ups me, chooses the harder path with the much bigger golovkin!

    Pac will light GGG up. But then he'll get caught and KO'd. GGG lumps up and bruises very easily these days, so Pac can definitely cut him.

    Pacquiao is a certified ATG but asking him to fight GGG, even this fading version, at 160, is going to end badly. There's a limit to how much weight even the greats can concede before being overwhelmed by poundage, and I think 160 is the limit for Pacman. Not to say he couldn't beat 160 fighters - he could - but at the top levels the combination of weight disadvantage and skill will be too much. I don't want to see Manny get hurt trying to fight in weightclasses he clearly is too small for. Floyd talked up a storm about GGG being easy work, but, notice, he never went anywhere near Golovkin.

    I seriously doubt Manny will go to 160. If, and this is a giant if, they do fight, it will be at 154 or lower.

    Why are people trying to get Pac killed? He said Margarito was too big at 154 lbs and he's no where near Golovkin and Pac is 10 years older now.

    Pac lands a few massive left hands, then Golovkin beats the crap out of him and stops him in 4-5.

    Pacquiao would get sparked clean out. When he’s not training he’s a natural 140 lb man. GGG is way too big for him and hits too hard.
