Bodyshot has a very interesting respectful conversation in another thread about credible threats to Mayweather.
Let have the same conversation about Manny Pacquiao, let rank credible threat for the Pac-Man as well.
If you go by popular wisdom (not saying I agree or disagree)...Manny only has 1 loss since 2005.
Let keep this convo respectful just like Bodyshot thread.
I guarantee Manny wouldn't win a round. Too small and not the smartest cookie in the jar either.
the fight was discussed on here when Alvarez was at 147. The common consensus was that Canelo would get broken.
Maybe Trout since Trout isnt a punishing fighter but he has a very big edge in size and Trout is big and strong and athletic enough where he could maybe keep him out all night with his style. Angulo is downright too big and and his strength/power TOO much to overcome. Pac would land at will but Angulo would likely retire Pac even if he takes more punches. Same with Kirkland (picture the Rios-Pac fight when Rios would clinch and hit... No imagine pac being rag dolled by Angulo and Kirkland.) Lara is an awful matchup for pac and he has a huge size advantage to boot. Hes got a beard too.. No chance here. Canelo would be an interesting matchup p4p but with that size advantage? Stoppage imo. It would be (Sorry Pac dot mean to insult) like Josesito lopez vs Canelo. Sure he'll get hit but Canelo will have no respect and let the hands fly.
I like your assessment of him having a chance against Saul but Trout would be up in the air due to size....but if Trout can't hurt him, you don't think Pac can out maneuver him.
Angulo and Kirkland are notorious slow starter and have been hurt before.....do you think Pac will get to them in the first three rounds.
Also how do you feel Pac does against Josesito Lopez or Victor Ortiz.
to even say a slow piece of ***** like canelo who just stands there and hardly throws can beat pacman is pure hate towards manny and this is enough said
110% you are a floydiot. You just want Pac to be killed by these big guys. Your boy was a 2 times champ at 154 why you dont ask him to fight them. Oh wait... he shamelessly weight drained one champion there so is not possible.
What are you talking about? speak some English you f-uc-king Wookie.
Here you go buddy:

Honestly I think a lot of fighters could catch manny and ko him or a few that could out point him
Jmm
Floyd
Thurman
Bradley
Ortiz
Garcia
Porter
Lucas
Ruslan
Etc
But manny is still the biggest threat vs floyd
You don't think Manny can beat Canelo, Trout, Lara, Angulo, Kirkland

Let assume the cold war is over and GB/TR do business....and let not forget guys like Lara and Kirkland.
Also GGG and Sergio if they decide to move down to 154....Manny has fought their before and was champion.

No one else on that list though. (Not counting 154 pounders since he would never fight a Canelo, Trout, Lara, Angulo, Kirkland, etc at the class) too big

We can't discount them since Manny Has fought above 148 lbs no matter how many poster act that he didn't.
He was the WBC 154 lb champion....to a certain extent, money can make any fight possible.
True....people see Thurman as a HUGE threat. What about Ortiz, Guerrero, Molina or Andrade?
I heard rumors that Guerrero was working Pacquiao in sparring.
Guerrero is tough as hell, I forgot about him I dont know how that fight plays out. I'd likely (uncomfortably) favor Pac. Would not put money on it. Guerrero isnt that slow (he's got some sneaky quickness to him and range). I'm not sure how many people i'd favor over Guerrero in a dog fight but I got faith in my boy Pac. Call it a gut feeling.

Right now only Mayweather. Pacquiao trained hard and looked great against Marquez until he tripped on his foot and got countered. The trip opened up his chin, without grounded legs to absorb a punch he fell asleep to a questionable roided marquez.
Fighters with styles like Thurman, Provodnikov etc, seriously thats not how you beat Pacquiao. They will all get knocked-out if they let their arms go or clam up into a shell like Clottery/Rios. How many more times must we see this?
A half-assed & unfocused Pacquiao dominated a prime Bradley, Bradley riding his tricycle all night scared to get knocked-out with no notable punches. This time around he is going to train hard for Bradley, I don't see Bradley winning at all. He will get swarmed every round non-stop.
Bradley's win over Marquez was nice for him but some things people are forgetting is that Marquez doesn't know how to effectively fight against other counter punchers that make him come forward. They give too much credit to Bradley and think it will transpire over to Pacquiao, a completely different fighter. An easy win for Bradley, if you knew Marquez and the drug testing, you would of placed a lot of money on Bradley too.
The only people i can see picture troubling manny is ruslan @ 147 because the guy cuts over 30 pounds before a fight and lara @ 154 because the way you guys hype him up around here no one else comes close danny garcia would get TKO'ed no fukin doubt he's a litte b1tch
