Mayweather would beat him on the cards by a few rounds imo

PBF on points, no one adapts better than PBF, and he has one of the best defenses ever, he runs all night and pot shots pacman, however if the judges are well you know like they are pacman could get the decision, but i don't see pacman being able to knock PBF out and you know PBF ain't knocking Pacman out

I'm not even going to vote in this because it's just a dream fight for now but I'd die a happy man if I get to see these two box.

Their styles are so empowering that it would undoubtedly make for one of the most interesting fights of all time.

Floyd is one of the most technical boxers of all time and has elite quickness/speed and decent power to boot. He is probably the only boxer in the world that can match Manny's speed but I don't think he'd be able to run from Manny because Manny does not tire and he presses like no other in that class.

But that doesn't automatically mean that Manny would get the better of Floyd. Make no mistake about it, Floyd can box with the best of them. People forget just how good Floyd can box when he is pressed because we haven't seen it in so long. Manny has holes in his defense that Floyd could really expose and take advantage of because he is so quick and accurate. The more I think about the fight the more I see Floyd's left check hook posing a serious problem for Manny.

At the same time, Manny could press and hurt Floyd in any of their exchanges because he is able to take some to give some. Not only that, but Manny's style is extremely unique and difficult to adjust to. Floyd has said that he never watches tape of his opponents and never gameplans for fights because a great fighter has to be able to feel his opponent out during the course of the fight and go from there.

I just really want to see someone press and attack Floyd to see how he would react to some adversity after Manny hits him in the face a few times. I just don't see how he could run away from Manny for 12 rounds because Manny's footwork is so superb that he will be able to close the distance and force Floyd to actually fight.

I dont know who would win...but I know who I'd be rootin for. Anyone that can shut Floyds fool mouth please do. Let him get cocky again and think he can hang in MMA...let Sean Sherk at him. Sorry, I really dont like Mayweather. To me, he just breezes by, doesnt really even fight that hard and walks away with the win while talkin smack saying hes the best that ever lived

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Pacman ftw.

 

[Mogriffjr]

Pacman has the power and speed to go toe to toe with PBF but I think PBF is a smart fighter and a true boxer with speed can beat Pac Man...pacman can get frustrated and will start to get into ultra aggressive mode...PBF can just play excellent defense, jab pacman (cotto had GREAT success with his jab) and control the fight.

 

[Bmore]

I don't think PBF can match Pacquiaos unorthodox fighting style if he doesn't study it.

With that said I could see it going either way, but i'm more inclined to take pacquiao.

 

[TDAUG]

I voted for Mayweather which means Pacquiao will win.

All his mots recent fights with the exception of Hatton, I thought Pacquiao would not be able to handle the bigger guy. He not only has handled them he made them seem like they were the smaller guy.

I would pay whatever amount that asked to watch this fight.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

People anxious to see this must be under the impression Pac will beat up Mayweather.

Mayweather wins by dodging and running. Superb skills hes an artist at what he does. But doesnt make him exciting. Most boring "great" fighter Ive ever seen.

Ill never pay for a Mayweather fight unless he steps into a cage.

Mayweather nickel and dimes his way to victory again.

Mayweather is the better boxer, but Pac is the better fighter

Mayweather would probably win a lack luster decision at this point with landing a couple jabs a round and shoulder rolling and running most of the fight

Pacman is still better though even if he losses, the guy used to fight at 106 and really shouldnt even be fighting guys at this weight, its just silly what he is doing right now

Mayweather is supposed be the man at 147, but he has never fought the best in his own weight class, lol

Not disagreeing, simply pointing out a couple of thing.

Pacquiao started boxing at 107 when he was 16. when he was in his mid 20's he already was fighting at 130. His natural weight in probably 135.

Mayweather started out 130 and his ideal weight is probably 140, not 147. Neither one of them will ever fight Williams, who is the man at 147.

I think in there prime where they are both at now, they are 1 division from one another. So, I think the bigger stuff is over now if they fight.

They all go where the money is.

wow Liquid, i expect more from you.... dont fall into the hype... Manny fought at 106 at 16 years old.... he is naturally gonna gain weight.... floyd's optimal weight is probably 140.... he is more than likley most effective their, but he doesnt want to lose the weight to fight there.... PacMan's optimal weight is probably 135, maybe 140.... they are both actually about the same size when you look at their careers.... they have both ballooned up in weight because thats where the money/higher profile fighters/fighters are and they are both good/great enough to be successful...

and while it seems people continue to bring up Mayweather handpicking his fights, isnt Pacqauio doing the same thing? he didnt fight Cotto at the 147 limit.... he made him drop the extra weight and still fight for his title.. dont get me started on the best in the 147 pound class, because no one will fight him (Williams)... it isnt even a question at this point.. he beat Margarito with loaded gloves, knocked out Quintana in the rematch... and everyone else ran and hid.....

Mayweather is a bigger fighter, he just is, doesnt matter he was younger and started at 106, Pac has been putting on weight like crazy for these fights the last couple of years

Mayweather didnt even make the 145 limit against JMM, he just paid the fine to come in 2 lbs over, thats garbage

Mayweather has ducked Williams, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto, etc...at 147, Pacman shoudnt even be fighting in this weight class, like you said, its just where the money is

Pac was still fighting at 130 lbs just a little over a year ago, the last time Mayweather fought at 130 was about 8 years ago and thats pretty much the weight he started at in 1996 when he was 19 years old

When Manny was 19 he was still fighting at 112 range

I know you have been watching them, but the the HBO 24-7 for the Hatton fight, Roach was pissed that Manny had to drop so much weight.

Manny likes his food.
