    This fight at 130 will be huge but Pac's power punches will spell deep trouble for money-may and eventually, floyd will be stopped by pac in the late rounds of an epic battle of future ATGs..

    I cant believe so many people picking pac to beat PBF at 130


    Pac got outboxed for the majority of the fight against JMM and a loss to Morales but people think he would KO mayweather at 130:huh

    Pac would land around 2 punches a round, PBF runs to a wide UD

    Yeah, but Pac doesn't win fantasy fights. In real life however, Pac will beat Floyd at any weight, anytime, anywhere!

    this is at 130 where floyd was a beast and engages more often so floyd would not run as much as he would do now. also floyd style then would be much suitable for pac but on the other side, that could be the best version of floyd. pac was already experienced at 130 while floyd while young has also had championship experience. a tough fight for pac but i believe he could edge in a close decision victory similar to jmm.

    :dealFloyd is NOT prime right now, but in his PRIME, which is ironically around his his run from 130-140 he schools the Pacquaio of TODAY...

    BUT, Floyd is not that same dude anymore (hence the fragile hands, and ribs), and he's in for a bruising IF he fights Manny or Shane Mosley.

    hvae u ever though about mayweather's power at 130. if marquez was able to hurt him, what do you think mayweather willl do to him?

    pac was already an experienced fighter who has improved a lot when he fought at 130. and although mayweather was devastating when at 130, he was still a bit green who doesn't run that often.

    Marquez hurts his opponents because of his precision punching that makes him land on the right spots at the right time. but that doesn't add up to what the probable outcome of a pacquiao-mayweather fight at 130. and it doesn't negate the fact that pac carries his mean power punch at the higher weights..

    i think the more appropriate question here is, what can both pac and pbf do to each other had they fought at 130. it would have been an all-out epic war and imo, pac stops pbf in the late rounds.

    I Think Pac would beat Floyd now, Pac has improved so much since the JMM & Morales fights.. he's a different fighter now.. If your talking Pac 3 - 4 years ago agaist Floyd then maybe Floyd by descision.

    i have floyd by a late round KO......floyd at 130 had some pop in his punches, and was a little more agressive, plus at 130 manny was still a one-handed fighter....floyd by KO its an easy call.....

    i still think both are prime, but it does seem to me floyd has declined physically

    mayweather was more agressive at 130 but he still had very good defense, and still had good movement. and if you're talking about precision punching, you think marquez is more accurate then mayweather. watch mayweather vs. corrales, a guy who could hit harder then pacquiao, though he never landed anything hard on mayweather. pacquiao is a much easier target. if anything, mayweather knocks out pacquiao

    Floyd beats Pacquiao at any weight 130 and above.

    He probably stops him also.

    Floyd by stoppage in this one, picking Pacquiao apart.

    pacquiao is no corrales and jmm is as accurate as floyd. who at 130 has floyd fought that is better than jmm?

    mayweather didnt fight a guy like marquez but he fought good fighters at 130 and beat them all convincingly. and you talk about accuracy but you do realize that mayweather punches harder then marquez and is better defensively
