    if Floyd can beat Pacquiao now he would destroy him at 130 where he could not only box but he also had power to hurt pacquiao and get a TKO

    At 130, one of them is getting knocked out. Mayweather was much more aggressive, more mobile, but got hit more often, and Pacquiao was as fast as ever. At 135, I think it's 50/50.

    Mayweather would beat him easier than he would at 147.

    Did floyd get hit more at that weight? I remember him being pretty flawless at 130.

    He did at 135, and he fought Augustus weighing in at 134 between a series of fights at 130, so I consider him the same fighter within that time period regardless of weight, and there were fights where he was mixing it up quite a bit.

    Good question actually; I'd say even, maybe giving Manny a slight edge, but regardless, Manny still had the better lateral movement at 130 and 135. Though Floyd's reflexive legs would be much springier as well.

    He's failed consistently to turn his opponents in range when advantageous to do so, and to establish lead foot position against quick southpaws. It will always be a dangerous liability against someone with the abilities of Pacquiao, win, lose, or draw.

    I see any version of Pac post Morales 1 giving Floyd hell. Although Floyd's size advantage would be difficult to overcome as well. I've never liked Floyd style against Pacquiao, it's the size difference that evens it out in my mind.

    So, can we say that Pac has been great so far because of his southpaw stance????...

    Pleasw stop with your ******ed notion that Floyd doesnt box laterally or that turning your opponent every 5 seconds is critcal ti beat Pacquiao. Morales fought Pacquiao he didnt turn him he Allowed pacquiao to fall into his right hand.

    You sound like a repetitive hater. Mayweather is 42-0 and boxing laterally is not Mayweathers kryptonite no matter how muh you believe it to be so.


    If it was Mayweather wouldnt have mad Marquez look like a nobody.
