    Pac vs Mayweather, 2 great fighters going at it at the peak of their powers. But what it is exactly that Pac has to overcome to beat Floyd? IMO the answer is a whole shitload. 5 inches in reach, 2 inches in height, and 7 to 10 pounds in natural weight.

    Pac really has to be on a whole other level than Floyd to pull off this kind of uphill battle. Am I right or wrong here?

    When Pac beats this dude, people better recognize the kind of amazing **** he is capable of. I don't wanna hear anymore talk about "Pac has no skills he just relies on his physical attributes".

    the guy has underrated boxing skills. He's gonna prove that against Mayweather, win or lose. (I consider this a 50/50 fight at WW)

    So are you rationalizing not giving Floyd any credit if he wins?

    there is always going to be the factors that you listed, throw in defence as floyds is a little better than mannys, and maybe just maybe floyd is quicker.

    so yeah he has to overcome a whole shitload.

    I'll still give him plenty of credit if he manages to pull it off. But I won't flat out say he is a better p4p fighter than Pac. A better WW for sure (if he wins).

    Why? Pac has legitimate power at welterweight, very likely more than Floyd. He has proven that his speed hasn't suffered and many feel that he is at least as fast as Floyd. He has good footspeed to get inside Floyd's reach. He has a wide arsenal of punches and can throw them with great power from very awkward angles. He has faced better competition recently. And he has one of the greatest natural advantages a boxer can have, in that he is a southpaw.

    If Pac wins, we can just say it was because of steroids.


    I find it ironic that so many PBF dicksuckers keep ranting about Pac being on roids.

    If that is the case, then Mayweather beating wont mean **** then, because Mayweather just beat a roided up featherweight.

    They are setting up their own downfall by refusing to give Pacquiao credit.

    This is like Arguello vs. Pryor. It was the greatest win for Pryor, but is not in the same P4P level as the man he beat cause he is the bigger man. A shitload of credit will be given to Floyd if he beats Pac, but not on the same level as Pac beating Floyd. Same goes if Floyd fought Williams. He's ATG status would skyrocket if he beats Williams since he is the smaller man beating a very good big man.

    When Pacquiao beats him, excuses like, Pac is a cyborg from china or Pac is into something like vodoo or he must've poisoned floyd during the press con would start to fly all over ESB. You can't run out of excuses when it comes to pacquiao :good

    Seems like everyone - *******s and Pac-haters alike are saying this will be a very difficult fight for Manny Pacquiao to win. I don't think so. I'm not saying tit will be easy, but I don't think Floyd will be as much as challenge for Mayweather as people are making him out to be. If Floyd wins, it'll most likely be a boring points decision.

    Floyd is a defensive God, but he isn't invincible. Castillo, Judah, De La Hoya, and at certain moments - even Hatton proved that. Castillo could have beaten him with different judges, Judah could have beaten him if he was more level headed, De La Hoya could have beaten him had he not wilted...I mean, come on. Pacquiao has a very good chance here. I'm more confident Pac can win this one than I was that he could win the Cotto fight!

    No boxer has lived and not been hated. Sugar Ray Robinson beat and beat up EVERYBODY. Was fast, one punch knockout power, defense and a strong chin. Yet, people still hate on him. It is the nature of the game. Floyd can beat Manny, Shane and then Williams but they will say "He should fight at Heavy, his wins are only happening because of his speed".

    Floyd has never fought a top WW. He hasn't fought a top fighter since Barbara Bush was hot.

    Floyd is garbage, his career is a joke, and his fans are ******ed.

    Pac-SSM is 50/50. Pac-Fraud is 100/0 Pac.
