Manny Pacquiao has fought at weights all the way from 112 lbs - 147 lbs. Could he make another leap upwards to Super Middleweight to become the first flyweight to knock out a former heavyweight champion of the world?
Although Pacquiao's hand speed and skills will probably be enough to beat a shot Roy, would he even have the power to knock him out?
I should have made a poll! It seems that most people think that Roy would win easy. BUT most people thought that Hatton and Oscar would win easy, two MUCH BIGGER fighters who he moved up in weight to dominate and STOP!
If Roy won what would that do to the p4p list?
Roy is like 30 lbs heavier than Pac
& the p4p list wouldnt be affected in any way, Pac would get massive credit if he survived the full 12

I know what you mean, I've been a victim of that. Last night a poster replied to a post I made just to point out that I made a mistake in Lop-sided(i said Lob-sided). It had me tripping over it because I'm legally blind. When I first started here I didn't care about people's mistakes or nonsense, but there's so many perfectionists here that seem to scan the site just to look for little mistakes in peoples posts, I guess I learned it from them.
I now, its the intinet peeple shuldnt be so wooried abaut spelling all the taime

Even tho Roy Jones is BOO BOO. HELL NO this cant happen. Roy still has decent Hand Speed and if he catches Pac, it's over.
But p4p, Pac is over him.
What the **** are you people smoking? Roy Jones still gives 18 out of the top 20 SMWs a prroblem right now and has the ability to beat about 15 of them. Pac gets taken out in about..however long it takes Roy to land a punch. Calzaghe hit harder at SMW than Pac would and Roy took those all night. This is a ridiculous question and anyone who honestly gives Pac a chance is crazy as a shit house rat.
Pretty much.
some of these threads make me :rofl:
i dont understand some people
5 ft 6 pacman holding 168lbs??? lets be serious ..he can not move with all that weight... cant even hang with alot of fighters around 154
It wouldn't be unprecidented. Let's not forget that Sam Langford was a 5 ft 7 lightweight who fought all the way up to heavyweight - and was a damn good one too.
That said, Pac aint no Sam Langford. I'm not even sure he can hack it at 140/147. Neither Oscar nor Hatton caught him with anything meaty. Let's say he fights someone like Urango (not likely) - could Manny take a flush shot on the chin from him? I'm not sure.

When I first started reading on NSB as a visitor, I didn't know much about boxing yet(back in 2004), If I read something like that, with my little knowledge of boxing and weight classes, do you think I'd understand? at what? 16 years old. If you didn't know, there's a lot of visitors on NSB who don't have the common knowledge that you and I have about weight classes and smart assumptions. I'm not knocking the TS, I'm just saying it makes more sense to say Former Flyweight. Let's just agree to disagree.
I disagree, its not really needed at all.
There's just too many people on this forum that like to nitpick all the time.
You're not making sense now. What if you're talking to a casual fan? is a casual fan stupid or has a low IQ. If you say something that absurd, "Pacquiao is the first Flyweight to beat a former Heavyweight" what do you think the casual fan would think? sounds like you're trying to big up Pacquiao more than he already is. You're not talking with sense when you say a Flyweight fighting a Former Heavyweight. With your logic, why not say, "Pacquiao would be the first Flyweight to beat a Heavyweight" without using former for any of them. People would be smart enough to know what you're talking about, or they'll misunderstand you and think you're stupid and that you think Pacquiao is currently a Flyweight and Jones is currently a Heavyweight. What's the problem with talking with sense?
I don't think squealpiggy intended this thread to be viewed by the casual fan, as it was posted on a boxing forum, in the Non-Stop Boxing sub-forum. But you can ask him yourself if you want, I could be wrong?
I didn't bother reading the other shit you wrote, I don't think it was needed, This thread was not created for the casual fan imo.
You're telling me that it's appropriate to say that Floyd Mayweather Jr is the first Super Featherweight to beat a former Middleweight, without putting the former in front of Super Featherweight?
If he is then YES, of course.
They would have to fight at the same weight anyway, so unless you're retarded most common IQ folk can work out that it makes sense and have the brain cells to make the assumption.

You're acting like Pacquiao is still a Flyweight.
How would he be a flyweight if he's fighting Roy at 168?
You're making a stupid point, he'd be a former flyweight however it is put, there's no need to ****ing state it unless some people really are utter retards.
