pacquiao at this stage of his boxing career has a few fights which can still make for a sure blockbuster and to make it more meaningful, pacquiao can clean out not only the welterweight division but the weight classes below and above it. i think danny garcia would be the first step (i'm guessing he wins his next bout against morales).
garcia is undefeated, has solid fundamentals with a very good inside game and a killer left hook.
on the other hand, pacquiao has better footwork, speed and a high volume punching style which collides perfectly with infighters.
as the first bell rings, garcia will start slow and test pacquiao's speed. as for pacquiao, he will be the aggressor and takes control of the center of the ring. garcia will try to land a wicked left hook while pacquiao charges in but pacquiao's head movement creates a gap in garcia's offense and knocks him down with a right hook of his own. garcia stands up and valiantly clinches pacquiao. garcia would be saved by the bell. by the middle rounds, pacquiao revs up the engine and shifts to the next gear, bombarding garcia with power shots to the head and body. pacquiao then traps garcia by the ropes and gives him a pounding. the ref steps in and pacquiao is declared the winner in round 9 by tko.
your thoughts?

Don't get me wrong, Garcia is a good fighter. But his style is to bang it out, and Manny would son him.
I still don't feel Manny is completely past it, I mean he got caught. It happens to the best of them. He was beating Marquez comfortably and was looking the best he had since Clottey.
I still feel Manny can win at a high level.
pacquiao has fought a lot of fighters who's money punch was their left hook i.e. dela hoya, cotto etc. pacquiao put each one of 'em down and out. it would be the same with garcia who has sub par footwork and no consistent work rate
Cant agree with the pacfans who think this will be an easy win for their man. At this stage I make it 50-50 at best and heres why.
Pac hasnt put anyone away in years and he was fighting 40 year old men like Mosley and JMM. Garcia is an up and comer so he isnt getting stopped unless he tries something silly. After Pacs chin got cracked by Marquez the question is will he ever be teh same again. Garcia is a 1 punch banger and if Pac lets his hands go in bursts, Danny can time that counter left hook like he did with Khan and im not sure Pac can take a full blown shot on the chin anymore, and even if he can he will be gunshy.
Hope the fight happens. Dont wanna see the same old names fighting each other. Let the younng blood take over. Its their time now.
Man..........I can KIND OF see where you are coming from but really? I think Pac would smack Danny down in 4 rounds. Dude would get picked apart IMO.
We got to see how the KO affects Pacquiao becaused Danny can bang. After that horrific KO by JMM Pac could be more easily susceptible.
garcia showed khan's speed can give him trouble, imagine that coupled with pacquiao's power and superior movement, garcia gets pummeled and the best case scenario is for garcia to lose by UD
come on you sill you pacstan lmao. obviously manny beats garcia at any point in their respective careers. congrats, manny finally won a fantasy fight. happy?
:bottle:

I don't think Pac could make 140 healthy anymore. Garcia would have a chance just because of that.
pacquiao walks around at 143-145, he even has to eat a lot to gain 147, during fight night, pacquiao rehydration weight is 150. making 140 won't be a problem.
Danny has a good chin, and seems to be one tough hombre, in fact I think those are his best qualities. Unfortunately I don't think that does him much good against Pacquiao apart from help him take an extended beating.
Khan was touching him a lot, and Danny did great to stay concentrated and stick to his game plan, lots of people would panic taking that much leather in the first few rounds, Garcia didn't. The thing is getting hit by Khan and getting hit by Pacquiao, different ball game. Yes Pacquiao is slower than Khan at this stage, but he is better in almost all other aspects. I actually think Pacquiao has become much harder to hit clean the older he has got, he is a much better defensive fighter today then he was 3-4-5 years ago. This is overlooked by a lot of people.
Manny cuts Danny to pieces. All Danny has is a hook if you are dumb enough to just stand there. Nothing else for Pac to worry about at all. Good fight for Pac to look great though.
On the third page, and no one said Garcia would win because Khan fights the same as Pac, and Garcia destroyed him. I'm shocked.
tbh khan was busting up garcia's face before he got caught on his weak chin, and well pac has an iron chin.
Being able to ko Khan does not mean he could handle Pacquiao's skills and power. Pacquiao even at this stage in his career is still on another level altogether.
it aint a 50/50 fight man...
Garcia would get lit up...even against a faded PAC...you guys overrate Garcia like he's a good fighter or something
LOL, I told myself awhile back "That will be the ****in day when im out here talking about Danny Garcia being the future of boxing"
come on, man...get serious. Danny Garcia would get KO'd ugly probably by the 4th round. Hes the luckiest fighter in boxing. Khan was pimp slapping him until he landed that lucky punch. He wasnt even looking and was pulling away. Lightning strike. He would have to have his anus stitched after the fight. It would be prison style. Garcia is the most mediocre fighter in the public eye right now. Hes going to be back fighting on local cards in philadelphia after a couple beatings. Morales was beating him until he ran out of gas. If Morales trained for this fight, he'll win.
If Danny can deal with a guy as fast as Amir Khan, he can deal with Mannys speed.
I didn't say it was a W for Danny but right now, its a 50/50 fight.
