Prime for Prime, i think Floyd is better, but Pac has more impressive wins and performances hands down. Pac fought Marg FFS, he could fight GGG also really.
Put on 10-15 pounds? The man has already moved up from 130-154 yet you want him to put on another 15 pounds?:roflatsch
Love how all these idiots are using pacquaio's height as an excuse. I didnt' realize their were height divisions in boxing.
Pac has really pushed it, he's a tiny man, which really adds to his greatness. He really is a LW frame but became the giant killer
Have you ever wondered why heavyweights are usually a bit taller than featherweights? There's a reason. Think about it.
Pacquiao got seriously hurt fighting Margarito. His face was a tomato and Marg broke bone. No way, no way could he fight Golovkin. Not this version of Pacquiao, not any version of Pacquiao.
I know. I don't think we'll see someone like him for a long time. People need to appreciate the time we have left w/ him. We don't have long
I'm pretty sure Pacquiao would take the fight against GGG at 154 at the time he fought Margarito if GGG was what he is now.
He has the height for it, Floyd has the physique of an 18 year old, he has alot of room to fill out and add muscle and power. He's already fought 6lbs off that weight, wtf is the big deal. And he's IN SHAPE at 154 also! When oscar moved up, he became soft, didn't look right. But Floyd moves up and still just as defined, he could easily put another 5-10lbs without it hindering him. BUT, we all know floyd really has LW power and GGG HW power, that's the biggest difference between the two. It would be speed and running (and IQ), vs intelligent brawler who can box with power who can cut the **** out of the ring off. This would be an amazing fight to watch. People forget that GGG's amateur record puts floyds to shame, and both being undefeated. This fight would sell extremely well!
If Floyd out on 10 lbs he'd still be giving up 10 lbs AND would risk losing something of the 2 most important physical advantages he would take into the fight. His reflexes and foot/hand speed.
Doubt it... He fought Marg at 150 and Marg spent the majority of his career at WW. Pac has never fought at the full limit of JMW and he has never fought a career JMW, let alone a career MW.
Man they came out in droves to rescue paq oh he's too small Well reason you don't see talk about is because he's just not good enough Stop the excuses and say what it is
GGG could come down 5-10lbs. Its very possible to make this fight happen and put in re-hydration clause. Floyd just needs to put the muscle on, a good trainer would have it on in 4-6 months. floyd just needs to eat more and hit the weights more. He has good genetics for that.
