Think carefully as the conventional school of thought was just defied. Pac may just represent as the exception to conventional analyst in a number of other potential fights.
He has a chance with anyone, that being said DLH was **** against Forbes so other than slow limited brawlers like Mayo and maybe Margo anyone with speed was gonna **** him. Honestly I don't see beating PW or PBF but those would be great fights, Hatton should happen that would be a war.
OMG guys he beat an old shot man cool off the ****ing jets. And don't call me a hater cuz I was the only one rooting for him in my fight party.
I'm thinking waht the **** would Pac vs PW look like i can't even imagine it. just weird. In that list i see no way that Pac beats Cotto, MArgarito, or PW. But who knows right? any of those fights are interesting at this point.
The only fighter I'm 100% sure would beat Pacquiao is Mayweather. I'm more than 50% on some others, but not at all 100%.
I voted for every elite welter but after rethinking it I can only say I'm 100% sure about Margo and PTP. Those two guys wouldn't flinch at any of Pac's punches. They both also at this stage hit harder than De La Hoya and are much more relentless in their attacks. Physically they both represent the ultimate mismatch for Pac at welter.
Eastside with the knee jerk crap again. Every Welterweight in The Ring's 147lb top 10 ratings list would beat Manny, and all by stoppage. Margarito, Cotto, Williams, Clottey, Cintron, Berto, and every other Welter you could think of, demolition jobs. All of those guys will be throwing punches at Pacquiao, unlike the guy he fought today, who was either shot to peices or just dead at the weight. Either way, it's a bad idea to make an accessment of how good a 147 Manny is, because he had a journeyman in front of him essentially. Is there anybody here who thinks Manny is competitive with any of the elite Welterweights? Make yourself heard.
True, although both can be exploited by an elusive target. I'd obviously favor the two big men, but not 100%.
Look at Oscar vs Forbes, Forbes vs Berto, and Pac vs Oscar. A B C doesn't always work in boxing but if you think Pac can't be competitive with anyone in the top10 at WW you are nuts. If Oscar wasn't throwing punches at Pac its cause every time he dropped his guard for half a second he got hammered.
pac has a way of defying the odds time and time again. i say he has a chance with all of them. some much more than others.
I think he would have virtually no chance against PW or Margarito. Especially PW, but I would love to see him tatoo Margarito for 12 straight rounds, gash him wide open and the ref stop the fight with less than a minute left.
