IMO Pacquiao even though he doesn't seem to have his old power but he is still better then Castillo was the first Floyd fight. Just his foot work, angles, feints and combos are just to much. He still has enough power to KO someone IMO
are u serious?
are you serious?
please, do me a favor and ignore me like i ignore u. thank u.
damn lol anyone else think this was headed for a ggg reference?
You made a poll involved Pacquiao on this board. This is the #1 mistake here. No offense but it's totally senseless. If you would make a poll named "who would won, Wladimir Klitschko or Pacquiao" then you'd probablyrun into some posterswho claim that Pac would win. You can't find more Pac fanboys nowhere than here.
If you make a poll here which involves Pacquiao, probably he will get most of the votes (unless it's negative to him, then the least)
If you make a poll which involves Mayweather he will lose it (unless it's positive to him, then the least). Hell, May couldn't even win a fantasy fight against Rios here...
No, he ended up edging that one out 51% Mayweather, to 49% Rios. A very close, dangerous fight.

He's definitely a better fighter there's no denying that. Even today's version. Which says more about how good Pacquaio is as opposed to Castillo who's a very good fighter himself.
But I think Castillo's style is tougher for Floyd than Pacquaio's would be but that's just my opinion.
They're nothing alike as fighters.
Agree on all points. A prime Castillo today is Floyd's worst nightmare. He would really struggle with that in-fighting.
this shot, past prime PAC is still better than Castillo's best days

But....it's not meaningless, because I explained several times why it was said. It has very little meaning to a broader point. If you care to go read back.
Of course it is.
The fact he has 4 Loss's means nothing. It doesn't make him more or less dangerous. Plus, Pacquaio himself has 4 Loss's.
Either way, it doesn't matter.
Wow! I never thought I'd hear Castillo described as such. This is just flat out embarrassing.
people like to demean and downplay fighers when they either know nothing about them or they have some retarded point to prove. happens around here all the time though so its not surprising.
im not gonna compare manny and castillo, vastly different fighters. manny is greater for certain, but their styles are so different it makes no sense to even try to compare
So basically the 4 Loss's comment was a meaningless comment.
The rest I don't dispute, that's your opinion and not an illogical one.
I'm guessing people jumped on the 4 Loss's thing because it just didn't make any sense especially considering the exact same logic can be said about present Pacquaio.

I didn't choose Pac because of Castillo's four losses. I told you, that wasn't my point. All I was saying that this guy is flawed, and imo more so than Pacquiao.
It was a small side comment. My main point is that imo, present Pac is more dangerous than the Castillo that fought Floyd.
We can keep harping over the four loss comment, it doesn't change that I think present Pac is more dangerous than the Castillo Floyd fought.

Ok but you understand that present Pacquaio has 4 Loss's also?
So what's the difference?
The statement is illogical. Every way you look at it.

No. It's not so much the losses, it was me saying there's ways to beat this guy, atleast four ways. It wasn't the focal point of what I was saying. Everybody just honed in on it. Also, I never said the Castillo fight wasn't a dangerous fight.
That's not the question being asked in this thread. Question asked is which fighter is more dangerous. Present Pacquiao, or the Castillo who fought Floyd.
My answer (opinion) is present Pacquiao.

Ok so the point I think you're trying to make is that Castillo had 4 Loss's when he fought Floyd so it wasn't a dangerous fight? I don't know, I still don't know what you're trying to say.
Let's say Floyd fought Pacquaio instead of Castillo, Pacquaio would have had 2 Loss's. So what does that mean?
If they fought in 2010, Pacquaio would have had 3 Loss's and arguably should have had 5 Loss's.
If they fight next year, Pacquaio will have 4 Loss's and arguably should have 7.
So again what you're saying makes little sense.

My answer (opinion) is present Pacquiao.
Every fighter is beatable, but not every fighter gets beat, and not every fighter gets beat four times, and not every fighter retires with ten plus losses.
And on occassion the fighters that do meet those requirements, are generally not more dangerous than a Manny Pac, even an aging one.
That's my (stupid) opinion. I know it's not accurate because a certain group of you disagree with it.
