    He got hurt/stunned by Corley and Judah, that's where it started. Otherwise nobody cared about Mosley[Orthodox] hurting him and Castillo[Orthodox] putting up a good fight, as well Cotto[Orth] and DLH[Orth] putting up good fights too.

    What did I just read? someone needs to bookmark this one.

    I agree he beats pac at any point, but probably not by ko or tko unless a nasty cut opened up.

    Pwill on the other hand beats mayweather. I've always thought this. That height and reach (although he didn't use it all the time!!!!:fire) along with 100 punches per rounds would be enough to beat floyd.

    The **** are you talkin about? I aint rubbing the boys nuts I will leave that for the ***** sexuals..

    if your wondering why I suggesst PW vs PBF a MD rather than a UD, I know most will say Quintanna out boxed him, thats true, But we also know that PW over celebrated his win over Margarito... and rumors had it Paul didnt really train that hard for the fight assuming that if Cotto blew this man out he would.

    Quintanna being a south paw with a little slickness was able to take advantage of an un prepared paul and grab the win, this is what happens when you dont act like a Pro Paul was not ready for that style.

    he will come prepared against a Floyd Mayweather because a win there is his meal ticket, which makes for an interesting match... thats probably why the fight never happened.

    I'm on the fence still. Don't think he struggles against them but I do think he gets hit a little more when he fights them. Ortiz, and to a lesser extent Guerrero, both were able to land to Mayweather's body, while Mosley did'nt have as much success (going to the body that is).

    Glad it wasnt just me who thought that comment was weird! LOL!

    Paul would never beat Mayweather first of all Mayweather would cut his output in half and what would be left of his activity he would miss wildly!

    Would be an interesting fight but Williams never faught like he should which is a tall man utilising his jab.

    Nope he stops pac at any point, Manny gets hit too much even by slow fighters like Margarito your in there with a guy who places his punches very well makes every shot count.

    Like I said he drives Manny back and starts to tag him, then either finishes the way Marquez did, Or opens up on him as he did with Ortiz in the 3rd round and Roach stops the fight Manny is not hard to hit and really only knows one way, he doesnt cut off the ring he doesnt box off the back foot.

    Floyd TKO the round is up for debate a prime pac I suggest 8

    sergio was/is a pretty slippery guy and he found a way to land against him so I don't see how mayweather could TOTALLY mute his offence. Paul would get tagged, his defense was terrible, but I honestly don't see how mayweather could decrease his output to take the win.

    What power has he shown you to believe this to be true? Yes he tko hatton, but his chin isn't half of manny's, and ko ortiz with 2 shots that had all of floyds weight behind them and while he wasn't at all protected.

    Sergio took that fight on short notice and he is not anywhere near Floyd in terms of defense......he got dropped more times in his last fight than Mayweather has in his whole career.

    I don't understand exactly how Mayweather does it but every opponent he faces their punch output is drastically reduced. Activity is the only thing he had going for him imo and that wouldn't be enough especially when you consider he couldnt avoid punches to save his life really

    I think he has an easier time with them. I think an orthodox fighter with a great jab has the best shot of beating him.

    Apparently not, every one he's faced he's beaten. I think that myth could be laid to rest right.

    You dont have to be a one shot knock out artist to stop Manny Pacquiao, Juan proved that, Juan also prove that manny just cant see the right hands.
    Not just in the fourth fight but in all four fights the 3rd Juan exposed every single weakness manny has, he falls for head feints, he doesnt have patience, he is open for left and right uppercuts long right hands and short straight right hands.

    Manny rushed him and got tagged in doing so in all of his fights with Marquez, Floyd times his punches and is the best counter puncher in the game right now, Manny will sooner or later run into them right hands and be out.

    when a fighter rushes in like that, and gets **** like that it amplifies the power on the shot, its all of Mannys weight + the force of the shot plus Floyds weight...

    I am sorry but it is what it is... Pac gets knocked out by Floyd no matter which version fights Floyd.

    Williams and I heard that argument here that he beats Floyd throws 100 shots per round, plus height and reach... He doesnt use that reach or his height his high work rate is and will be his downfall his game is to try and keep you on the defensive end of it by working like that.

    Floyd will catch him on the back end every single time just as Martinez did in their first fight. Williams doesnt have a defense and lets be real defense also wins fights not just the offense.

    To me Williams has the style of a well decorated amateur and thats about it his size and work rate is what carrys him but if you make him pay for having such a high work rate and low defense suddenly he has to adjust... Can he? can he keep up with Floyd? Sure but not enough to pull out the win:hi:
