Something I Realized About Manny Pacquiao Fights Since 2012 (KTFO6)...

Let it go no version of Pac beats PBF. PBF is a horrible styles match up for Pac and would always be able to control the distance and dictate the range of this fight that's the main reason why PBF beats him, because Pac has no answer for it.

 

That right hand of Marquez definitely chastened Pac and made him more careful. However, the reckless Pac before the right hand of God was applied to his face would probably have been stopped by Mayweather. Pac became a better defensive fighter after being sent into the Twilight Zone by Marquez.

 

One of the more underrated parts about Pac's career is that he still had enough to beat Tim Bradley twice as clearly as he did after that knockout loss.

 

The consensus is that prime for prime, it would've been a 50:50 fight. Manny would've taken a powderpuff girly shot from Mayweather to land 10 in his prime.

Having scored the MayPac fight 116-112, I envision at least 2 rounds that a prime Manny would win.

 

LMFAO PBF would be prime to in your scenario. A prime Pac couldn't even beat JMM clearly but yet you think that he beats an even better master boxer in his prime PBF? Wishful thinking at its best. PBF would have controlled the range and dictated the distance this fight was fought at that would always be the case. He would have lowered Pac's workrate with lead right hands, movement and clean counters making him weary. He would have beat Pac to the punch from the outside and tagged him all night as he tried to come in. Pac's inability to cut the ring of would hurt him as well as he would have always just followed PBF around getting picked off and out maneuvered for his trouble. If PBF elected to simply stay on the outside and fight off his back foot there would be literally nothing Pac could do to offset it he would end up getting a boxing lesson here. It would have been worse back then for Pac than it was on May 2nd 2015, because that version of Pac was more flawed and reckless.

 

Pac arguably lost 4x to JMM all at his peak in the sport.

 

What these Pac "fans" fail to grasp is that Mayweather was always quick and skilled enough to keep Pac in front of him, has similar or better hand speed, is much longer than Pac and is smart enough to fight Pac at the distance that he wanted. Moreover, it took Marquez four fights to land that right hand on Pac. I wager Mayweather could do it in one fight. When Mayweather sits down on his punches, I doubt Marquez hits any harder.

 

Yep. There's a reason Pac never fought slick fighters on his way up.

 

and won't fight Crawford now.
