Pac use to do Muay Thai right?
I mean he has the speed and power to beat some MMA guys I am sure, but ground game and grappling are serious things.
It'slike a Martial Artist in Karate would never beat a professional boxer size for size. One is a professionally trained fighter that is athletic and can take shots.
Same with a boxer going to MMA, it's a serious sport.
UFC isnt elite. Anderson Silva training next to Manny Pac.... Silva would look like a lazy ass. They are trained to last 3 rounds.... Boxers stamina is above all else. Even Chuck Liddel had hand speed probably slower than the slowest form of a post-prime Morales. Im telling you.... Speed advantage goes to boxer, stamina goes to boxer, power punching goes to boxer.
There is a reason people have died in this sport more than any other fighting sport.
Lol.
Pac vs Chad Mendez or Aldo....
Pac would be napping. At this point he is too old to really pick up any true MMA grappling skills.
Even the smaller guys. Mighty Mouse would mess him up imo
Much worse than a defensive fighter like floyd. Defensive fighters in ufc can use lateral movement catch fighters coming in and prolong the match an attacking fighter like pac charges right in gets taken down and stopped.
It's hard too imagine Pac not being great at MMA if he trained years and years on the various aspects of MMA expect for striking.
I think he could have been a beast. Mike Tyson too.
Guys like Pacquiao are fighters, period. They can fight, period.
How can you be right AND wrong?
Tyson and Pac would be good because of their explosiveness, not because " they are fighters, period" < that is nonsense
You play baseball
You play football
You play soccer
You don't play boxing, it's a fight..
Only dudes I have ever seen that were born to fight and not trained to fight
Duran
Mayorga
Toney
Morales
Manny
Yes they trained and harnessed the potential but those guys just seem to be at home in a brutal fight..
First no one is born to fight....that's retarded. And Manny would do great a few years back.... His footspeed would have guys lunging at him and missing and he could knock them out literally whenever he wants boxing>mma
Some people have a natural knack to fighting. Just wondering if Pac is one of those. Most people need a lot of training to get techniques to be successful however there are those who has such a natural ability to fighting that they can pick things up easy or even do the moves just naturally.

Get the crap knocked out of him... Just like any other boxer
Same goes for if a mma guy tried boxing..
I don't understand why people try n compare the sports.. It's like saying how would Lebron james do in baseball.., Tom Brady in football, etc.... It's just stupid to compare

He'd get his ass kicked. But he has big legs so maybe he wouldn't crumble after one kick
He'll have an excellent stand-up and kicking game. He might have a natural fighting ability and would pickup his ground game quickly.

Yea sure that makes sense...Pacquiao would do well but displays no inside game, no grappling tactics/clinching, or fights dirty. Typical pacf@g logic.
He can always ask Rhonda to show him how. But then that might not go well with Jinkee.
