    In a recent chat, Floyd Mayweather Jr was asked about a fight between him and Manny Pacquiao. He complimented Pacquiao, and said he was a "good little street fighter", but also said that if he was at 130 lb, the fight would only last 3 rounds. I think Floyd would win the fight, but to say it would only go 3 rounds I think is a ridiculous assumtion, how can you say that about a proven boxer in pac man, and be serious, what are your thoughts?
    What else did he say in that chat?

      He can say that since they're not in the same division.

          Dougie Fischer is the biggest Floyd hater & Pac lover there is but even he said something like Floyd would stop him within 5 rounds. Floyd had probally just as much or even more power at 130 then Pac has now and he threw a ton of flurries back then. It would be a total mismatch. All the guys Pac is beating now arent even real 130 pounders. ****, I would love to see what he would do even against a guy like Forbes

            Any version of Floyd beats any version of Pac, especially now. Pac is a guy fighting at 130 coming to his fights at 144, and Floyd is a guy fighting at 154 coming in at 148. This not only means that 4 pounds separates them, making this a possible fight, but it also means that Floyd can take more punishment than Manny. All of Manny's opponents are smaller than him, but Floyd's are MUCH bigger. Baldi weighed 163 on fight night and Oscar weighed 167. If Floyd can take Oscar de la Hoya's punches when he weighs 167, Pacquiao's at 144 won't feel like ****. I believe that since Floyd knows this, he wouldn't need to fight in an overly cautious and defensive style against Pac, and this means he would be more aggressive offensively and definitely KO him. Not to say that he can get careless just because he can take punches from bigger men, this is Floyd we're talking about, D is an integral part of his game, and Pac IS a good puncher. But for those saying that it would go the distance because Floyd has no KO power and is a "runner", they should be aware of these factors.

              People can love Pac all they want but they cant argue that he's basically a street fighter. All he does is come straight at you gunning for a KO and only throwing a straight left. He doesnt use any kind of D, he has suspect technique, and is off balance alot.

              Ive always said that he's good but he better think God that he's a lefty because if he wasnt then he wouldve lost a ton of fights by now.

                I lke watching Floyd fight but I have long since given up listening to him. I think the last honest thing he said was about Gatti being a c+ fighter or somesuch before their fight. (By the way, I like Gatti).
                What Floyd says is worth nothing. Ignore it.
                Judge him by what he does and who he fights (or doesn't) in the ring.

                  PBF against Pacman would be a great fight at 130. Toss up between them. PBF hasnt fought any no2 top p4p's in his time so why he thinks it would be 3 rounds is anyones guess.
                  PBF having to come down in weight so much wouldnt help him at all. Pacman has incredibe stamin and speed. PBF wouldnt adjust well.
