    I heard Manny wants this fight, or might. Any thoughts? I personally think GGG (if he is still sharp) will take over and stop Manny in about 7 or 8.

    Pac would be winning up until ggg catches him . although pacs speed angles and boxing iq would give ggg fits. .

    Im not lying i think ggg is looks limited when he faces higher competition with better iq.

    Even old pac is better than brook in my opinion and brook had success. Speed has never been golovkins gift .

    Call me crazy but i actually would favor pac here by Decision .

    Southpaw fast hands. And All time great skills . id favor pac in a decision .


    By the way marquez caught pac by surprise coming in with an uppercut counter and speed .

    Golovkin only has the jab and size.

    Edit ... Explain to me how ggg would catch pac with an uppercut counter with that same and reflex angle??? For those that say .
    "If marquez did ..ggg can"

    Wow that’s a controversial opinion if I ever heard one, Kell Brook is much bigger than Pacman and GGG had 0 respect for Kell Brook, didnt even bother fighting with any strategy. GGG would absolutey destroy Pac, pac would not even get close to Golovkin.

    Forgot to add this is with a catchweight of 156-157. Pac would not fight ggg full fledged at 160

    At full 160 ggg takes it

    Golovkin would never live this down so I doubt he'd take this fight. If he does, he deserves the criticisms he'll get, which will amount to fighting not just a much smaller fighter but a post 40 much smaller fighter and when he stops Pac, he'll be viewed as a coward bully.

    Pac is shameless if he tries to drain Golovkin from 160 for the MW title and deserves serious **** for that if it happens.

    Roach would be a criminal trainer for doing the fight, even with a drained Golovkin.

    So all parties involved would be in the wrong, basically.

    That's why I doubt it happens. If it does, Golovkin smashes Pac to pieces. Pac is faster of course, but Golovkin cuts the ring off well, doesn't he, and eventually Pac will linger too long or slow down and Golovkin will catch him, hurt him, maybe even to the body, then take his head clean off.

    Nothing but rumors and negotiation tactics. Will never happen.

    G too big n would walk Pac down after a couple rounds.

    Take Pac's steroids away and he could barely make 122.

    Pacquiao was badly hurt by a margarito body shot ten years ago when he was still close to prime. I think it would be unwise to fight triple g at this point, he's going to get hit solid at some point and size will make a difference.

    Science has come a long way so maybe Paq gets it done.

    The question I have is GGG's shape now. Even if he has not shown slippage, it is about time he does slip, and Manny is smaller and older yet he has always had faster combination and it is an interesting matchup. I think GGG wins, but speed is power and I wonder if Manny can hurt GGG and surprise us.

    Manny has 1 knockout in hus last 17 fights, you expect him to hurt... arguably the most durable fighter in boxing??
