How would Mayweather do against Pacquiao's last 3 opponents?
A prime Bradley, a prime (grain of salt) Rios, and a PED'd Marquez.
"Prime Bradley" - What does he bring to the table against Floyd? he doesn't even have a puncher's chance and he damn sure ain't out slicking the greatest boxer of this generation. Mayweather by comfortable UD.
Brandon Rios does not belong anywhere near Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Floyd already schooled Marquez. I'm not even going to get into that whole PED bs.
Canelo is anything but a come forward fighter. He's the complete opposite of guys like Guerrero and Maidana. He's at his best when he's the counter puncher which is why he struggled against Floyd.
Canelo can counter punch but he isn't a world class counterpuncher like Marquez..
Canelo does much better coming forward, just look at how much success he had vs angulo and Lara by being aggressive, when he stood and tried to box Lara tagged him repeatedly.. When canelo looked to box and counter vs trout, trout was able to rack up the points behind the jab and canelo had his major success in that fight when he came forward and be aggressive ie the knockdown..
Canelo can box from the outside vs lesser competition like cintron or old mosely but vs high caliber guys like Lara, trout, Floyd, he can be outboxed from the outside..milf he stays on the outside looking to counter,manny will potshot him all night with the superior speed and if canelo comes forward manny will carve him up..
The guys that bothered manny- Marquez and morales, both were able to take manny's offensive firepower and go on the offensive.. Canelo will look to go on the defensive instead of on the offensive like Marquez and morales did. Bradley, cotto, Barrera all made the same mistake, they go on the defense when manny is throwing instead of going on the offensive and standing toe to toe..
Canelo is just not a good enough counterpuncher to beat manny at 152
Pacman wins all three and only Maidana lasts the distance.
lol how? Manny doesn't stop people now a days (lost his killer instinct) and lately he's been fighting smaller dudes. I don't see how he would even come close to stopping the bigger and physical opponents being discussed.
If Marcos lands the same straight right he did on Floyd. PAC would get kod honestly
If you are talking about the one in the 10th round, he just missed Floyd's chin by a hair. If he hit Floyd clean ........ well, Floyd was already doing the dewy doe with his legs, so I'm quite sure that he would have been visiting the canvas.
BTW - That is like saying, if Marquez would have landed like he landed on Manny, Floyd would be sleeping .....
I think Marcos is a harder puncher than Juan. His whole body wasn't behind it but he'd def hurt manny with that same punch. Hell Bradley made manny dance for a second lol
Bradley hurt just about everyone he ever fought just cause he's not stopping people doesn't mean he can't punch any body who ate the shot PAC did from Bradley flush on the face would get shaken up a bit but he recovered very easily
I think the only one of the 3 that really gives Pac any problems is Canelo and that is just because of the size difference. I think Pac's speed and movement would overwhelm Guerrero and Maidana and end in pretty much a shutout or TKO.
None of these guys are good counter punchers... It's a counter puncher like a Floyd or Marquez that will bother manny and give him the most problems..
Maidana, ghost, canelo are all come forward guys, and manny would carve them up..much like how Hopkins has carved up similar come forward fighters.
These 3 guys just don't have the countering skills to contend with manny..
Ghost gets battered like rios or David Diaz
Canelo at 152 drained ends up like oscar, lasts longer and goes to a decision, but you get the picture
Maidana would be exciting but as about as competitive as Bradley was, just in different ways
Bradley is a prime example of a guy talented enough to hang with manny but didn't have the world class countering ability to make manny pay

Guerrero is garbage at the top level, but tough enough to last the distance, get's UD'ed. He's a garbage B fighter, I would say he's B-.
Maidana would be all over Pacquiao, I don't know about that. Maidana goes beast mode against guys who should beat him easy.
Ortiz, Broner, Mayweather were all supposed to beat him easy. KO'ed Ortiz, humiliated Broner, and gave Mayweather his stylistically toughest fight since Castillo.
I think Canelo would be too big, too patient, doesn't get drawn in to wars which is the only way Pac wins. Canelo also packs a punch. It would be a good fight though, I think Canelo wins.
he would UD the ghost and batter his face but take a lil punishment
this version of pac loses a close decision to canelo but it would be controversy
i think maidana beats this version of pac or pac wins a war, either way chino would hurt pac due to styles
He beats all three..
147 Guerrero, manny dominates
152 catchweight canelo,manny would probably outpoint
147 Maidana, manny would probably outpoint him in a shootout
I think Marcos is a harder puncher than Juan. His whole body wasn't behind it but he'd def hurt manny with that same punch. Hell Bradley made manny dance for a second lol
Chino would hurt Pac at some point but he won't stop him.
Canelo would get peppered all night. He will be punching ropes like he was with Floyd and Lara
No he wouldn't. Pacquiaos chin isn't cracked.

why
manny has historically done well against 'come forward pressure guys'
I think Marcos would be too strong. He might hurt Pac at sometime in the fight but he wouldn't KO him.
Pacquiao would literally dance all night against Canelo. He's too quick on his feet, he will be in and out all night.
We saw Canelo struggles with boxers with foot work/speed
