Would anyone in the top 10 @ 140 even make it the distance w/ Pac?

Kotelnik has the best chance but it's still not a sure thing. He's durable and has a nice little shell. Bradley is too eager. I think he's one of the more difficult matchups for Pac at 140, but he mixes it up a lot, doesn't have the chin to stand up to Pac and can't punch hard enough to get Pac's respect. Pac has the stamina and would love someone who comes in like Bradley. I could see Bradley getting TKOd in the mid/late rounds.

Maidana is a tough MFer, but he probably lasts the shortest amount of time re: anybody in the top 5. His style would present no problems to Pacman, Pac would be laughing at his poor attacks and smashing his head in.

Gotta go up to 154/160 or Floyd for a fight he would not be heavily favored in imo.

 

Cant see it.

 

maybe maidanas hes pretty solid heavy bag

 

Kotelnik cause he seems tough and has a good D.

Bradley cause he seems like the type of guy who, even if taking a beating, would just keep going to the final bell.

Surprised so many people voted for Khan, he does not have the smarts to stay away from Pacman.

 

I voted a few guys notably Bradley, Khan, Alexander, Urango and Kotlenik

Bradley is fast enough and tough on the inside I dont think Floyd is the guy he struggles against I think his poison is tall and long like Holt

Khan, is in his stable probably spars with him and with prior knowledge could survive

Alexander, despite quitting vs Bradley is quick and sharp and I think he can stay out of trouble

Urango is very tough one of my favorites at least and he is a hell of a body puncher

Kotelnik he has very good defense and counter punching like Marquez does that would interest me

 

Kotelnik would see the cards but lose a shutout whereas Bradley would actually have an excellent chance getting a decision. I understand the skill difference, but look at how easily Timbo cut the distance off Alexander's shots, who's a fast southpaw setting up quick shots from distance and is untrained for inside fighting much like Pacquiao. PacMan does not have an inside game, he just loads up and rushes out. Bradley is the kind of fighter who can take and keep the fight up close, and there it is a toss-up. Maybe Maidana goes through hell and survives and Alexander covers up to see end, but for sure I'd only say Bradley and Kotelnik.

 

No he wouldn't, and you obviously don't understand the class difference. Bradley is smart and well rounded but in the grand scheme of things its a division full of closely matched mediocre fighters.

Pacquiao would make a mockery of anyone in the division, and that doesn't necessarily reflect on how good Pacquiao is, more simply what any elite welterweight in their prime would do to the current crop of 140 pounders.

 

Like I said earlier today, jmm at 140 might be the only guy capable fo beating pac at 140, all the others need a miracle.
Out of that list kotelnik and bradley have a chance to go the distance, the best chance.
All the others are likely to get stopped.

 

Bradley obviously

But i got a feeling Kotelnik could aswel. Good solid Fundamentals and a good chin

 

Pacquiao beats them all.

I would say Kotelnik has the best chance of lasting the distance out of any of them, but if you think back to the Khan bout...Pacquiao would almost certainly employ a similar gameplan, but will also be employing his own tactics to get Kotelnik to open up (think Clottey). Pacquiao would do a better job in getting in and out against Kotelnik, but his shots wouldn't be just landing shots...the shots will have power behind them. And as Kotelnik opens up, Pacquiao will make him pay.

I don't believe anyone else would make the final bell, especially considering the form Pacquiao has been in.

 

Kotelnik would. Not sure about the rest, maybe Bradley.

 

khan due to his sparring sessions and speed to get out of the way

 

I'm surprised people think Khan could last the distance. Pacquiao would wipe him out. Highlight reel knockout.

The two are completely different levels...Pacquiao is at least a level or two above him at this point.

 

atsch cant believe somebody said bradley would beat him.... pac would absoloutely demolish bradley.

 

:deal

khan would not get past round 3
