Instead of seeing "Pacquiao vs the woman beater *Floyd 2", bring on Pacquiao vs Canelo, no catch weight, for his 160 belts, go out with a bang, one last fight, go for one more belt or go out on a good loss
Rather see him lose to a bigger not weight drained prime Canelo than lose in the woman beater *Floyd 2/crawford/loma
Pacquiao wants a December date, Canelo wants a December date, why not. Still big money fight all around.
All uphill battle for Pacquiao it would be though, but what a way to finish off a legendary career
End of the day it's up to Pacquiao though. I mean I watch his last fight with Matthyse and I still think he's got it. The power is there, the speed is there, the reflexes are there, but he might be feeling old and is hiding it.
If I picture him in the ring with Canelo I can legitimately see him outboxing canelo. The size difference isn't that huge because canelo is short and is a tiny middleweight.
Also he looks much smaller and less ripped since the failed drug tests.
good points, reason why I wouldn't mind it, especially when you look at the other possibilities.
he can lose to a bigger prime canelo going for yet another belt in another division and get PAID, or he can lose to Crawford/loma and not get paid.
I also don't put much stock in the size differential.
Canelo is a tiny middleweight. Floyd is taller than Canelo.
That extra weight isn't that consequential because canelo is not a devastating knockout puncher, he gets you by setting you up and with accuracy. Regardless, Pacquiao has eaten clean shots from Margarito, Cotto and Mosley, he has the chin to stand up to Canelo, if canelo can even land enough on him to hurt him.
And pacquiao can definitely hurt him, he's hurt much taller guys.
I respect your resilience, if only fishnets could see this thread and your confidence in Pacquiao. Would also be a good way for fishnets to give the woman beater *Floyd a big f u as well. Fishnets could steal his thunder for a change.
Another hard hitter you've left out was a roided Marquez
but cool posts
I don't see it.
I can still see Pacquiao outboxing Canelo. Pacquiao is the better boxer. Canelo is not just going to tee off on him. He has to hit him to hurt him, and you're underrating pacquiao's speed and defense.
If you like pac even a tiny bit you would not want this to happen. Pac would get hurt bad. This is not some fairy tale.
Pac's not fast enough anymore and big enough to evade and take Canelo's sharp counters. You have to be an idiot to suggest a 38 year old Pac stands a chance against a prime Canelo.
And I am old school pac fan since he beat Barrera. Never missed a fight
that Amir king khunt deserved it, but Manny?
imagine if those fcking jabs that peppered golovkins's face find their target on Manny's chin or to the body. i like manny but to see him try to face a 160 pounder currently on his prime would be a fcking massacre. even in a catchweight of 154 or less, the old man doesnt have the stamina anymore. he'll have his little moments for sure but he'll get gassed out eventually and that would be the end.
dude is aiming to run for presidency but i think people in the philippines are smart enough not to vote for a stuttering candidate so good jesus dont let this fantasy ever happen i beg.
I can see Pacquiao outboxing Canelo just like Amir Khan was until, caught by a big left hook, overhand rand or huge body shot.
yup, the big shot is all it'll take. If pacquiao was somehow able to not get caught then maybe we may have something.
Pacquiao ain't big like GGG , he's like a 5'4 frame guy and can only max out weight to 150 lmao.you're right, he is small, but thankfully it's boxing and not mma where your opponent can take you down, so another possible chance for pacquiao.
But, people would def be more hyped with this fight than Mayweather II.exactly, I'd rather see this than that other crap
If Pacquiao did pull the upset in his last fight, that would be historic like how he beat De La Hoya yup

Promotional wise, that's genius.
A Manny Pacquiao vs Canelo Alvarez fight can break all kinds of records and I know I might get s h * t for this but I think it can actually break the MayPac record.
Mayweather doesn't have a fan base, Andre Berto fight proved that. But Canelo vs Pacman, with their rabid, fanatical fanbases, that's a hit right there.
Weight would be the only issue of course.
finally someone seeing what i'm saying. again for promotional reasons, it'd be big.
you're right about weight but for me in order for me to be happy about, it'd have to be 160, just go balls out
Pacquiao clearly beat jeff horn.
Just because the referee let jeff horn wrestle with pacquiao doesn't mean horn gave him problems.
Pacquiao was never once in danger of losing the fight.
Also canelo is a boxer, not a wrestler. It's going to be a boxing match, and Pacquiao is the better boxer.
don't even bother with that idiot, just look at his name.
it's funny how him and notapachugger whatever that idiots name is, is saying they don't want it, seems like the woman beater *Floyd dickriders are coming in to say no lol

Nah, even a prime Pac would struggle with current Canelo and most likely get stopped
Pac always had his hands full with small ass JMM
Last saturday's Canelo was like a MW version of JMM, an agressive af counterpuncher, with fast and sneaky power shots, and this time he'd be the much bigger guy, instead of the smaller. Pac would have his moments but would get starched at some point, no doubt
nice post, and maybe it would happen, I'd still like to see it though
I've always thought that Manny could have become MW champ if he was fighting the right guy. If he had gotten to Sebastian Zbik before Chavez Jr did I think he would have won and become WBC champ at 160. Zbik didn't have a lot of power and he was pretty stationary.
nice post, you're right he probably could've. I said the same thing about the woman beater *Floyd. I think he could've grabbed a MW belt from serg if he would've had the balls to fight him. I think he could've outpointed serg for 12.
I don't see it.

Canelo is nothing like the decayed husk of la maquina, the first hard shot that lands Pacquiao goes to sleep, permanently. This is NOT prime Pacquiao either and it only takes one from Canelo
