PBF beats Pac...not so fast!

PBF beats Pac:

Height/reach advantage
He's too big, and too fast.

 

While you bring up some good points, my main objection to Pac/ PBF is more based on size than anything else. As soon as tony weeks brought them both to the centre of the ring, I knew PBF/JMM was a mismatch. Floyd is HUGE by comparison! And pac is roughly the same frame as Juan. I know styles make fights, but size makes fights, too. People forget the only true fight manny has had at WW was with Oscar, who was obviously well past his expiration date, and then Hatton at 140. So, really, I think we're going to see the same size mismatch as far as Floyd/Pac is concerned.

 

Good points. We could theorize all day as much as we want but the only way to find out who wins is to make the fight happen.

 

This is a terrible comparison. Malignaggi is not greatly skilled. He's a pure boxer with no defense, no power, and no right hand. He's tailor made for a swarming fighter like Hatton. Now Mayweather is a greatly skilled fighter. We've seen what happened to Pac when he faced a well rounded boxer who's one of the best out there, but still a notch below Floyd.

 

No one can 100% predict the future and nothing is absolute. However, if you're familiar with different styles and how certain fighters have dealt with different styles, you can accurately predict a fight a good deal of the time. Many people picked Mosley to beat Forrest simply because they weren't familiar with Forrest. However, Forrest had beaten Mosley in the amateurs. Also, Forrest is an excellent boxer himself who was bigger and longer than Mosley and had an excellent jab. If you took away the names and just analyzed each fighters strenghts and weaknesses, you would probably pick Forrest to win. Now against Mayorga, Forrest was injured. Those are one of those variables that you can't always account for. However, a healthy Forrest would beat Mayorga most of the time.

 

Its all about reach with mayrunner, as much as it pains me to say it i think mayweather wins this purley on this fact alone. He can just lean back and stick his arm out whenever pac 'charges' in, clip him every now and then and
get another yawn fest descision.

...this is also the reason why he will NEVER fight williams...

 

Paulie didnt beat Hatton and Diaz because of his lack of ANY power. Plus the gap between Paulie and Hatton in terms of boxing skills isnt that big.

 

True. Good point:good

 

Floyd is not paulie. Paulie sucks ass and I had Diaz winning by two.

 

The aggressive style of Pac will play into Mayweathers style. It' as if Pac was fighting a bigger, faster, sharper, better skilled Marquez. All the problems Marquez gave Pac times 5.

 

This fight will be argued til it happens and there's no way to prove either way. If you look at Mayweathers dominant performance of Marquez, then look at Pacs destruction of Hatton in his own weight class and a complete massacre of Oscar.

Their are however a few certainties, while moving up Pac has maintained everything he had at the lower weights. And is possibly stronger and faster now due to not cutting weight. When comparing the current size of Marquez and Pac look at footage of the Pac-Hatton fight where Pac was obviously ripped and comfortable at the weight no excess weight whatsoever and not looking much smaller than Hatton.

No matter what you think of Pacs last three fights. He was never even close to losing a round. Since moving up Pac has dominated his much larger opposition with his speed and power. Since the move up from 130 it was obvious Marquez was on the slide while Pac was continuing his rise to greatness.
