Not to mention what happens in a boxing match when the fighters are clinching? Its broken up by the ref. Why? Because boxes can't fight in the freaking clinch hahaha. Come on peeps, I like Pac as much as the next not too crazy Pac fun, but the hype with this guy is getting out of hand. What's next he's a better golfer than Tiger Woods?
If you let him he will, didn't you know he's getting good with pool too?
we are talking street fight here, where there are no rules, I am sure PAC living in the streets during his youth made him tougher and learn how to survive, for sure he knows how to play dirty when needed...
maybe on a mma fight PAC wont know what to do but on the street in a real fight, he has basic natural instict how to survive and live to fight another day, I dont see anyone his size beating him on the streets ...
Pac's footwork doesn't make him hard to take down. It makes him hard to punch. There's a big difference. He's trained all his life to avoid punches, not takedowns. Theres no comparison. Apples and Oranges.
Yes it does, Pacquiao's footspeed comes from his athleticism. Natural athletes like him Mosley or prime RJJ are harder to takedown because of their reflexes, they don't stay flat footed. If BJ. rushes in tryin to get him down, Pacquiao would still have a big chance to take him out with one punch.
Plus BJ. is not a very good wrestler, he has great flexibility but doesn't have a great shot.
I'm a big BJ.Penn fan but you have to understand that in a(bare nuckles) street fight against Pacquiao, BJ. could get KOed before it hits the ground. Look at what he can do with 10 ounces gloves, and look at his shadow boxing.

Nope, if the stand up fighter doesn't know how to defend correctly against a takedown, good luck striking an eye or the groin, because the shot is going to be too fast to time. A wrestler doesn't stand up when he shoots in so how exactly are you going to land that big knockout shot? I know were supposed to be talking about a streetfight. But, lets take a step back for a moment and talk about it in an MMA context. The pure stand up fighter vs. the wrestler. Almost everytime the stand up fighter gets his ass kicked. Its no contest. Don't believe me, go into a wresting gym and try to stop his takedown while your attempting to punch his face, its not going to happen.
You have got to be kidding? I don't even watch MMA like that and know that in a street fight, BJ Penn would win. He'd just take Pac to the ground and submit his ass! I bet most of you haven't even been in a real street fight. Someone before me mentioned footwork...yeah right!!! BJ would charge or go low, take him to the ground, his special move. I'm sure most of you think Pacquiao could out wrestle a tiger.
This is why takedowns and wrestling is useless in real life fighting. When your eye or groin ever gets near a fighter it will be hit or poked. And it only takes 1 poke in the eye or groin and it's over.
in real fighting (street fight) the first strike is usually the most important...
Pac used to street fights before his boxing career
so he knows how to play rough
PAC lived in the streets when he was young, I am sure Manny have some experience in street fights or we he wont have survived and I am pretty sure he knows how take and dish out punishment on the ground ...

BJ.Penn has never been hit by someone like Pacquiao. Look at what Pac did to Marquez in one round. He can hurt you in the first exchanges, plus his footwork makes him hard to take down. Bj.Penn chokes him out in 15 seconds if it gets to the ground but his wrestling skills are average. So idt BJ. would have a chance to take him down and beat him.
Pacquiao by KO round 1.
Sure Anderson would, but you have to put it into context. In MMA and Street= Anderson by rape. But, Anderson vs Old Ass, Roy Jones in a boxing ring= Anderson getting KO'ed in the first round lol.
Have you ever punched someone on the top of the head barefisted?
Snap, hand fcuked, you don't punch people in a streetfight unless you are totally sure you can hit them clean.
Also why is Bj going to wait until Manny is in punching range when he has so many other tools in his locker? Didn't the great Mike Tyson break or hurt both his hands in a street fight with bum Mitch Green? And there wasn't even a KO. If Tyson can **** up his hands, anyone can.
In this instance it would be whoever got the first punches off, and we all know who that would be.
Pacquiao>Penn

Honestly, you guys are clowns. Penn would ****ing kill Pac in a street fight. Manny wouldn't last thirty seconds. Penn would shoot in a for a takedown and it would be over, and be ugly as Pac is helpless on the ground. In a boxing match Penn wouldn't last through the first. But in MMA or a real fight, sorry Pac fans. Wake up, LOL at you.
